How Astronomers Get Observing Time on Telescopes
The view of the GBT (white dish, center-right) on the way to the Jansky Lab (building on left) from the Green Bank Observatory residence hall one morning. Only half a week later and the leaves on the mountains behind the telescope have mostly turned orange, a sign that fall is indeed upon us.

An example of one of the models included in by GBT 2018B proposal (legend excluded). Different colored lines indicate the predicted line strengths (in mK, or milliKelvin) of different molecules in one of the protostellar targets.
