The Sky at Night

Season 46 Episode 12: Radio Revolution

In the second of this two-part special from Jodrell Bank, the Sky at Night explores the future of radio astronomy. Over the past 50 years radio astronomers have discovered quasars, pulsars and intergalactic travellers, many of which were found by Jodrell Bank. With the upgrading of the Lovell telescope and MERLIN array, radio astronomers hope they are on the threshold of new discoveries. An entirely new design of radio telescope is also being planned, with expectations that when it is built, more secrets of the Universe will be unlocked.
