was established in 1958
to protect telescopes

like these from
electromagnetic frequencies

of the world's largest
steerable radio telescope

In being up here, I feel
like a speck on the earth.

things that are going on
very far out in the universe.

Stars that are being formed,
or stars that are dying,

People have looked for
life using this telescope.

LAURA LING: What makes this
particular telescope unique?

JAY LOCKMAN: What makes it
unique is, for one thing,

and so we're free from a lot of
the man-made interference that

would really block study
of sensitive signals.

things like cellphones or
even the kind of transmitters

that are in your digital camera

JONAH BAUSERMAN: Nope Or

Radio Quiet Zone is not only

a place of scientific
research and discovery,

who believe they suffer
from a condition known

fields make them sick.

JENNIFER WOOD: I started
losing weight really fast.

Every moment of every
day was absolute torture.

and Melissa Chalmers are
among the few dozen people who

have moved to Green Bank
in the last few years

What sorts of things
were making you sick?

DIANE SCHOU: Well,

that was near my home,

and eventually it also
morphed into power lines,

lights are horrible.

ran her coffee maker,

MELISSA CHALMERS: When
I was using the phone,

after couple minutes, I
