Portrait of Bernard Lovell

Portrait of Bernard Lovell, Physicist and radio Astronomer. Taken in the control room at Jodrell Bank Observatory, Cheshire, with the Lovell Telescope in the background, constructed with University funding. When it was built in the mid 1950's the telescope was the largest steerable dish radio telescope in the world at 76.2m (250ft) in diameter; even now it is the third largest, after the Green Bank and Effelsberg telescopes and forms part of the MERLIN and European VLB1 Network arrays of radio telescopes.
