Visit to Jodrell Bank Research Centre for Astrophysics

There were 26 students attended the trip. The engineer in Jodrell Bank Neil Roddis arranged the visit and two other astronomers lead the tour. The visit was very successful, and it provided us a great experience of real life research and an insight into astronomy.

The Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics comprises the research activities in astronomy and astrophysics at the University of Manchester.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.
