It is the world's largest filled-aperture radio telescope [2] and the second-largest single-dish aperture, after the sparsely-filled RATAN-600 in Russia. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] It has a novel design, using an active surface made of 4,500 metal panels which form a moving parabola shape in real time. [ 5 ]

The Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope (GBT) in Green Bank, West Virginia, US is the world's largest fully steerable radio telescope, [1] surpassing the Effelsberg 100-m Radio Telescope in Germany. [2] The Green Bank site was part of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) until September 30, 2016.
It is the operator of the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope, the world's largest fully steerable radio telescope. [1] The observatory was established as the National Science Foundation's (NSF) National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) in 1956 and made its first observations in 1958.
Work is finally underway on the world’s largest radio astronomy observatory. Known as the Square Kilometre Array, the mega telescope consists of huge clusters of dishes and antennas spread ...
Each secondary reflector is combined with an instrumentation cabin containing various receivers and instruments. The overall effect is that of a partially steerable antenna with a maximum resolving power of a nearly 600 m diameter dish, when using the central conical receiver, making it the world's largest-diameter individual radio telescope.
Construction was set to begin Monday on the Square Kilometer Array, the largest radio telescope ever, which will scan the skies for aliens and try to see to the very edge of the universe.
