The observatory location, on Big Bear Lake in the San Bernardino Mountains, was chosen for its combination of high altitude and daytime stabilizing influence of the lake, which were found to be ideal for solar observation. [1] The location at Big Bear Lake is optimal due to the clarity of the sky and the presence of a body of water.
Initially named New Solar Telescope (NST), first engineering light was obtained in December 2008, and scientific observations of the Sun began in January 2009. On July 17, 2017, the NST was renamed in honor of Goode , a former, and founding director of NJIT's Center for Solar-Terrestrial Research and the principal investigator of the facility.
The Global Oscillation Network Group (GONG) is a worldwide network of six identical telescopes, designed to have 24/7 observations of the Sun. [1] The network serves multiple purposes, including the provision of operation data for use in space weather prediction, [2] and the study of solar internal structure and dynamics using helioseismology.

In 1979, the two dishes were retired from the radio interferometer and were repurposed to be used as an array dedicated to solar observation. The Owens Valley Solar Array was established with the two dish interferometer under the direction of professor Harold Zirin who also directed the Big Bear Solar Observatory (BBSO). Three 1.8-meter (5.9 ft ...
