Are astronomers seeing a signal from giant black holes?
World-wide radio telescope network strengthens evidence for signal that may hint at ultra-low frequency gravitational waves An international team of astronomers has discovered what could be the early sign of a background signal arising from supermassive black holes, observed through low-frequency gravitational waves. These scientists are comparing data collected from several instruments, including the National…

Beating the Noise: Arecibo and Green Bank Telescopes Detect Faint Signals from Cold Clouds in our Galaxy
Sensitive measurements conducted at the Arecibo Observatory and the Green Bank Observatory may have probed cold regions in our galaxy where molecules are actively being formed from atoms. These regions are the birthplace of molecular clouds, which eventually produce stars.

Do we understand gravity? The GBT says yes!
Einstein’s theory of relativity passes a range of precise tests set by pair of extreme stars The National Science Foundation’s Green Bank Telescope (GBT) was one of seven radio telescopes around the world whose combined observations of a Double Pulsar reinforce Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity.
