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.
It was the solar telescope with the world's largest aperture in operation for more than a decade. [1] Located in Big Bear Lake; California, the Goode Solar Telescope is the main telescope of the Big Bear Solar Observatory operated by the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). [2]
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.

SOLIS was located on top of the Vacuum Telescope building [6] at Kitt Peak National Observatory until July 2014, [7] then temporarily moved to the University of Arizona Agricultural Farm in Tucson until October 2017, and is now being permanently relocated to Big Bear Solar Observatory in California.
T he big map in the little shop in Casper, Wyo., was drawing a lot of attention when I visited on Aug. 20, 2017. A solar eclipse was coming the next day, with totality occurring at 11:43 a.m ...

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 ...
