Stanford's radio telescope, located on the 3.5 mile Dish Loop hiking trail in back of the university.
The dish is 150 feet in diameter and sits on a rotating platform (along with the operations building) for azimuth control. It was built for the US government in the early 1960s using US Air Force funding. In its early days it supported communications with various satellite and manned spaceflight missions. It also was used to intercept Soviet signals intelligence, including bistatic Hen House early warning radar transmissions reflected off the Moon.

I work 1.3 miles from there, and have never gone. Should I?
Yes! If you like hikes with just a bit (maybe a bit+) of hill. It's kind of a Bay Area place to go. I've been going there off and on (mostly off recently) for 20+ years. The main loop, starting where Stanford Ave. hits Junipero Serra Rd, is around 3.5 miles and takes around an hour; maybe an hour and ten minutes.
There's also an entrance on Alpine Rd where a trail leads into the loop, roughly where the dish is. There's livestock to commune with on that connecting trail.
Ok. Sounds awful
Ugh. People are the worst.Just to be clear... there are no cows on the main loop - just people!
And the views of the bay/Bay Area are killer.
