The Quiet Zone

The Green Bank Telescope, the largest steerable radio telescope in the world points to the southern core of the Milky Way under a clear night full of stars in the mountains of West Virginia.

My name is Jesse Thornton, a native of Point Pleasant and current resident of Huntington, West Virginia.  This state is truly an outdoor mecca with a variety of rich scenery, furnishing different looks throughout the four seasons of the year. Influenced by fantasy and science, my aim is to capture the surreal nature of these landscapes in hopes of encouraging others to discover (or rediscover) the beauty of West Virginia!

Location: Huntington, WV
