Member of @ESA's Astronaut Reserve, John McFall explored @JodrellBank's iconic radio telescope ahead of UK Space Conference 2025, discovering more about the North West's thriving space sector. 🚀 🛰️ 📡

Terrific turnout for the SETI session at #NAM2025 in Durham - kudos to @UoMPhysics Louisa Mason & Kelvin Wandia, and all the speakers. Not to mention more than 100+ participants! @RoyalAstroSoc
We are saddened to share that Sir Francis Graham-Smith FRS has passed away peacefully at the age of 102. A former Director of Jodrell Bank and Astronomer Royal (1982–1990), he was a giant of British astronomy whose career spanned the history of radio astronomy itself.
We are saddened to share that our colleague Dr Cyril Hazard has passed away peacefully aged 97. A pioneer of radio astronomy in the early days of Jodrell Bank, he co-detected Andromeda’s radio emission & helped identify the first quasar.

🧪 To celebrate #BritishScienceWeek, we were thrilled to welcome @WhiteRoseEd on site to explore cosmic questions such as “how can space rovers adapt to the terrains of different planets?”, and “can we grow plants in space?”

Not an early bird and anxious about missing out? Don’t worry - tomorrow isn't the only eclipse event this month!
Join us from 9.30am on Saturday 29 March, where we’ll be serving an early breakfast to celebrate the upcoming partial solar #eclipse. ☀️ [2/2]
🌙 EYES ON THE SKIES 🔭
In the early hours of Friday 14 March (3.57-6.32am local to Jodrell), stargazers will be treated to a partial #lunareclipse!
This phenomenon occurs when the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow over the lunar surface. [1/2]
🔭 Set beneath the iconic Lovell Telescope, our award-winning #conference facilities offer a unique location for meetings, receptions & away days.
Join us at #CHSLeeds (Stand 33) to see how our out-of-this-world space can meet your event needs!
