I-Doomscrolling kunye neendaba zosasazo zinokuba ngumlutha, kodwa azingqinelani nendawo ezolileyo yaseMerika ye-13,000-square-mile, apho ukukhupha iiplagi kungaphezulu koluvo oluhle- sisidingo.

Umda weSizwe weRadio Quiet (NRQZ), owasekwa ngo-1958, umda kwaye-kwezinye iimeko-uyayinqanda inkonzo yeseli kunye ne-Wi-Fi kwisiqingatha sempuma yeNtshona Virginia. Le ndawo ithe cwaka yeeNtaba zeAllegheny, indibaniselwano yeencochoyi zemithi yompayini eziphakame ngaphezu kwemilambo ebhuqayo, yeyona ndawo ilungileyo yokubaleka ungakhange uqhawuke. Kodwa yayingeyonjongo yeKhomishini yoNxibelelwano yeFederal xa yayidala. I-FCC iseke i-NRQZ ukukhusela ukuqhekeka kommandla Uqwalaselo lweBhanki eGreen Ukuphazamiseka kwirediyo. Apha, kwidolophu encinci yaseNtshona Virginia e-Green Bank (enabemi abamalunga ne-150), isibhozo seeteleskopu ezinamandla esithubeni.

Isibonakude sikamabonwakude uRobert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope, eyona teleskopu inkulu inokutsalwa ngokupheleleyo ehlabathini, inobunzima obuphantse bube zizigidi ezili-17 zeepawundi kwaye inama-330 eemitha ububanzi. Kunamandla ngokwaneleyo ukuba uve ukusebeza okuncinci kwindalo iphela, kwaye kubaluleke kakhulu kukhangelo lobomi kwindalo iphela. Oko kwathethi, le teleskopu inkulu ayikhuselekanga kubomi eMhlabeni. Ukungenelela kwe-Electromagnetic kwiiselfowuni, ii-Wi-Fi routers, kunye nee-microwaves zinokudida ukufundwa kweteleskopu. Kungenxa yoko le nto i-Wi-Fi ivinjelwe ngokungqongqo kwaye imiqondiso yeseli ayifumaneki kufutshane ne-Observatory, kunye nemigaqo eyanda kakuhle kwi-NRQZ.

Kuba sinexhala lokuhamba okukhutshiweyo kunye nenqanaba labathumeli, umthetho ufuna ukuba nasiphi na isiseko esisigxina, umthumeli onelayisensi ngaphakathi kweNRQZ alungelelanise imisebenzi yabo ngathi, utshilo uMichael Holstine, umphathi weshishini kwiGreen Bank Observatory.

Eyona migaqo ingqongqo ye-NRQZ igubungela iikhilomitha ezingama-20 kwiGreen Bank nakwiindawo ezikufutshane, indawo ejonga izinto kunye neziko lophando eSugar Grove. Ezinye iindawo ezingaphaya komda weemayile ezingama-20 zisebenza ngokuzimisela kunye nokujonga ukwenza iziseko ezifanelekileyo. EMarlinton, idolophu ye-NRQZ eyi-26 yeemayile ukusuka eGreen Bank, inkonzo yeseli iyafumaneka kwaye iyahlangabezana neemfuno ezichasene nokuphazamiseka.

Kodwa njengokuba iimephu zokugubungela iiseli bonisa, iinkonzo ze-NRQZ-ezininzi zolule zimbalwa kwaye ziphakathi kakhulu. Enye yezona ndawo zinkulu ngaphandle kwenkonzo ezolula ngokufanelekileyo zinqumleza kunye nokubuyela umva kweNtshona West: indawo engaphezulu kwe-919,000-acre Ihlathi leSizwe laseMonongahela , Apho kulindelwe khona amathuba amangalisayo edetox yedijithali.

I-Monongahela, eyaziwa ngokuba yi-Mon, iheha abahamba nge-adventure ngemilambo engxamisekileyo, iigogo, iincopho zamatye, kunye nesevisi encinci yeseli. Ihlathi le-pine-speckled Spruce Mountain libiza eyona ngqungquthela iphezulu yelizwe: I-Spruce Knob ngeenyawo ezingama-4,861. Imikhonto ye-quartzite ehanjisiweyo kwi-Seneca Rocks, i-oasis ekhwela amatye e-Mon, iphosa i-900 yeenyawo ngaphezulu kwe-North Fork River. Indawo yokuhlala isuka kwinkampu kunye neyitayile yendlela yokwenza iitampu zokungena kwiikhabhathi zokungena kunye Intaba yeSnowshoe , indawo yokutyibilika ekhephini ethambileyo kunye nokumba okuphezulu kunye neehektare ezingama-250 zokubaleka. (Inkonzo yeseli evunyiweyo ye-NRQZ iyafumaneka eSnowshoe, utshilo uHolstine.) Enye into entle yaseNtshona Virginia, imayile engama-330 Umzila weAllegheny (ALT), inqumle ngaphaya kweekhilomitha ezili-100 zommandla weentaba we-NRQZ. Olu hambo luqengqelekayo lunqumla eWest Virginia eyothusayo njengeBlackwater Falls State Park kunye neDolly Sods Wilderness ngaphambi kokujoyina iTraalachian Trail eyaziwayo kumda waseVirginia. Abahambi ngeenyawo bafuna ukubona olona hambo lungakhange luxhonywe banokuthi baphambuke kwi-ALT eGreen Bank, apho indawo yokufikelela idibana ne-15 yeemayile zokujonga esidlangalaleni, iteleskopu yokujonga iindlela . Umgaqo ophambili weGreen Bank? Nciphisa ezo Smartphones.
