Congratulations go this morning to @JodrellBank, the observatory in Cheshire and home to the Lovell telescope, which has been recognised as a World Heritage Site by @UNESCO for its contribution to astronomical research. Here’s the @guardiannews report theguardian.com/culture/2019/j…
@jodrellbank @UNESCO @guardiannews @NorthwichNews A few facts: @JodrellBank opened in 1945 and it is now the UK’s 32nd World Heritage Site. At 3200 tonnes,
the observatory’s Lovell telescope is the world’s third largest steerable radio telescope
@jodrellbank @UNESCO @guardiannews @NorthwichNews We have often featured research from the team @JodrellBank here @newscientist. In February 2016 the team announced they had tracked down a source of a mysterious blast of cosmic radio waves called fast radio bursts newscientist.com/article/207878…
