Voice of the Universe : Building the Jodrell Bank Telescope

By (author) Lovell, Sir Bernard

In this volume the creator and director of Jodrell Bank, the world's largest radio telescope, tells the fascinating story behind the building of this huge telescope. Though the telescope is popularly known for tacking and communicating with man-made satellites, its prime function is the study of the universe by means of radio waves emitted by distant stars. The radiation received from meteors, the moon, the Andromeda Galaxy, and the Milky Way offers new information daily about the origins of life on this planet and the possibilities of life on other worlds. The building of the telescope was fraught with mishaps and frustrations - financial, political and otherwise; yet, through his perseverance, Sir Bernard Lovell made its creation a reality. His story, drawn largely from personal diaries, documents the complex conflicts among scientists, bureaucrats and politicians which arose out of this monumental endeavour.
