![]() With a tiered seating area overlooking the splash pad, parents have plenty of room to lounge and keep a watchful eye while the kids frolic among the 88 jets that make up the fountain. Domino Park Fountain – Williamsburg, Brooklynĭomino Park opened in 2018, bringing with it an ultra-cool play fountain. Happiness is slashing through the water at Domino Park. ![]() RELATED: Beat the Heat in NYC: Cool Ways to Have Fun Head to the destination sandbox next door with its log cabins after the kids dry off, or grab an ice cream (and a beer) at Fornino, directly across from the splash pad. The water pools on a nice, squishy surface (which saved my clumsy toddler a few times). Man-made cliffs enclose a series of water areas where sprinklers shoot up, out, and all over, totally dousing kids. Pier 6 Waterlab – Brooklyn Bridge Parkīrooklyn Bridge Park's spectacular waterfront views are soothing, but when kids really want to cool off, they head to the super-popular Waterlab, one of four distinct play attractions on Pier 6. But, in summer, the main attraction is a splash pad, where geysers shoot up and douse everything in the vicinity, from the squealing kids to the surrounding rocks. The super long slide (one of the longest in the city!) dumps kids in a massive sandbox. But, once you locate it, your kids may never want to leave. Located behind a Battery Park City high-rise, this playground can be tricky to find. Kids love frolicking in the water play area at Teardrop Park. And, in case you're wondering, you can access the terrace without paying museum admission, though the terrace is only open during regular museum hours. I had trouble convincing my kids to leave! Bonus: There are shady picnic tables and benches lining the plaza. Since this play fountain is little known, it's a much calmer experience than playing in nearby Central Park. Toddlers and big kids alike love wading and filling their buckets. Grassy knolls line the sprinklers, and though there are only four jets cascading into the air, a gentle slope directs the water to the foot of the Rose Center, where it pools. We happily discovered kids can cool down on this 1-acre terrace adjacent to the Rose Center for Earth and Space. After all the excitement, head to the adjacent Blue Stone Cafe to refuel with a cold drink or an ice cream. Forty-seven jets blast kids as a thin layer of water collects at their feet. Splash Pad at Lakeside – Prospect Park, Brooklynĭuring the summer, this two-rink ice-skating complex transforms into a roller-skating spot and a 16,000-square-foot play fountain. While you're there, explore all of the fun the isle has to offer. Parents can sit on the edges or grab a nearby lounge chair. Located in the Liggett Terrace hedge maze, the trio of circular play fountains features 90 programmable water jets shooting from the granite walls and is open daily.

The dish was so large and had to remain fixed on the ground, while the Gregorian dome could move in position with a limited capability. The Arecibo Telescope was one of the primary instruments in pulsar searching, leading to the discovery of many pulsars, including highly stable millisecond pulsars that were ideal for NANOGrav-type sciences. Due to its size, the timing observations of pulsars obtained with the Arecibo Telescope were more sensitive than those with the GBT. The National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO), Green Bank Observatory (GBO), and Raytheon Intelligence &. Given the enormous collecting area and the extensive observing frequency coverage, from 327 MHz to 10 GHz, with a 2-millimeter surface accuracy, the Arecibo Telescope was the most sensitive radio telescope in the world. The spherical aberration correction was done using its secondary optics in the Gregorian dome. The telescope had a 305-meter diameter spherical primary reflector, the size of 3 football fields, and could illuminate approximately 225 meters at a time. Gordon Telescope at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico was the second largest radio telescope in the world at the time of its collapse in December 2020. Roughly 5% of the total observing time of the Green Bank Telescope is reserved for monitoring the pulsars in our array. In addition to providing monthly timing observations of the millisecond pulsars in our array, the Green Bank Telescope is also used to search for possible new additions to our pulsar timing array through the Green Bank North Celestial Cap pulsar survey, among others. ![]() National Radio Quiet Zone, in which radio transmissions are regulated to limit the amount of interference that might adversely affect our observations. With its innovative design and location, the Green Bank Telescope can see 85% of the total sky, and is therefore critical to achieve the sky coverage necessary for our project. In the design stages was a most ambitious plan for the world’s largest equatorially-mounted. In the early days of the NRAO, the late 1950s, eager American radio astronomers wanted a giant radio telescope to call their own. It also has an unblocked primary mirror, which allows it to detect more radio emission in a comparable time to telescopes with more traditional designs. The 300-foot telescope in Green Bank, West Virginia was the largest telescope on Earth when it came online in 1962. With a 100 meter by 110 meter section of a 208 meter parabola, it has a reflecting surface of about 11,000 square meters and is thus the largest fully steerable telescope in the world. The Green Bank Telescope is located in Pocahontas County, West Virginia. |
