While we were here we went to a talk about the history of the telescope and it's surprising that it even got built after learning about it! Bernard Lovell almost went to prison due to overspending of public money on the project, but evaded incarceration due to being able to track Sputnik's booster rocket in 1957. The British government deemed the project vital, and allowed Lovell to continue!
Jodrell Bank Observatory
The Jodrell Bank Observatory is a British observatory that hosts a number of radio telescopes, and is part of the Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics at the University of Manchester. The observatory was established in 1945 by Sir Bernard Lovell, who wanted to investigate cosmic rays after his work on radar during the Second World War.
