The 300-foot telescope after collapsing on November 15th, 1988. Until its collapse on November 15, 1988, a 300 ft radio telescope [7] stood at the Green Bank Observatory's unique site. It was the largest radio telescope on Earth when it was brought online for its first observation at 12:42 am on September 21, 1962.

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.
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 ...
The third-largest fully steerable radio telescope is the 76-meter Lovell Telescope at Jodrell Bank Observatory in Cheshire, England, completed in 1957. The fourth-largest fully steerable radio telescopes are six 70-meter dishes: three Russian RT-70, and three in the NASA Deep Space Network.

Owens Valley Radio Observatory (OVRO) is a radio astronomy observatory located near Big Pine, California (US) in Owens Valley.It lies east of the Sierra Nevada, approximately 350 kilometers (220 miles) north of Los Angeles and 20 kilometers (12 miles) southeast of Bishop.
Radio astronomy is a subfield of astronomy that studies celestial objects at radio frequencies. The first detection of radio waves from an astronomical object was in 1933, when Karl Jansky at Bell Telephone Laboratories reported radiation coming from the Milky Way .
