Jodrell Bank Observatory - Cheshire, UK

Home to the Lovell Telescope, once the world's largest and now the third biggest steerable radio telescope in the world, and three other active telescopes. The observatory was established in 1945 by Sir Bernard Lovell, who wanted to investigate cosmic rays after his work on radar in the Second World War. It has since played an important role in the research of meteors, quasars, pulsars, masers and gravitational lenses, and was heavily involved with the tracking of space probes at the start of the Space Age.
