The Lovell Telescope has stood proudly over the Cheshire Plain since its completion in 1957. It is the flagship of the Jodrell Bank Observatory which is part of the School of Physics and Astronomy of The University of Manchester. The observatory is a place of learning, teaching and research for the many engineers, astronomers and students who develop and use the radio telescopes here. Manchester astronomers also use X-ray, optical, infrared and millimetre-wave instruments across the globe and in space to make complementary observations. Jodrell Bank is also a place of wonder and inspiration for the many people who visit our Visitor Centre each year.
From the menu at the left you can learn more about the telescopes and the research carried out using them. There is a history of the developments at Jodrell Bank and those taking place today. You can also see live webcam images of the telescopes, technical details of their status and where in the astronomical sky they are pointing.
