A rare visit to Jodrell Bank telescope is my mood photo for today. Still impressive after all of these years, and we were lucky enough to see it move.

A full turn-out today to celebrate the of our former Director and , Professor Sir Francis Graham-Smith. Wonderful anecdotes and science recollections from former Jodrell Bank Director, Andrew Lyne, Director General, Phil Diamond, current Astronomer Royal, Martin Rees and Director of the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy, Michael Kramer. Graham himself was in fine form and made only one "simple" request: find out work!

Great to be out at this afternoon to record for the programme with presenter Marnie Chesterton and producer Phil Sansom. The weather played ball, so we were able to record outside. However, the were determined to be heard! The program, on the and the possibility of life elsewhere in the , should appear in mid April on the BBC World Service and on BBC Sounds.

Took the boys for a late evening to for their family stargazing event. Well worth the trip, the boys had a great time and even came home with a little piece of meteor each, thanks to a generous man from Macclesfield Astronomical Society !

Astonishing visit to yesterday, where the new visitors’ centre is breathtaking, including digital projections onto pieces of the original surface. Completely worth a visit - & the Lovell itself was glorious in the winter twilight.

Interesting Jodrell Bank fact. The main satellite at Jodrell Bank was used to track Russian launches during the space race. Russia eventually clocked onto this and didn’t shut it down but quite the opposite, they asked for the data! Lovell somehow managed to maintain a relationship between the US and Russia during sensitive times. He was at one point even invited to Russia and invited to defect, he went to Russia but turned down the defection offer!

In 1966, USSR's Luna 9 probe sent the first photos ever taken from the surface of the . British at were listening to Luna's transmissions when they recognized the fax-like sounds. Using equipment borrowed from a local newspaper, they were able to not only decode the pictures, but published them before the Soviets did!
