So this is where I got to go last week for work. Yeah, it's big...
It's the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank telescope in West Virginia. Over 400 ft tall. The dish is over 2 acres in area, about 300 ft across. There's lots of fog in the morning, and the mountains all around just make it an awesome thing. The last morning there I went up to the dish, and to the receiver room all the way at the top and took some pictures. Very cool.
