One of the radio telescopes that make up the Jodrell Bank MERLIN (Multi-Element Radio Linked Interferometer Network) radio telescope array is in Knockin. The array links several observing stations that together form a powerful telescope.

Interesting telescope in beautiful light! I expect to see telescopes in the desert or on barren mountain tops so this is a surprise!

I agree that it seems to be in an unusual position, Gudrun. Jodrell bank, a much bigger telescope is in a similar position, and always looks incongruous.

RadioNet, a consortium of 28 leading institutions for radio astronomical research from 13 countries, has been awarded 10 million Euro by the European Commission, to be used over the next four years. The University of Manchester is a major partner in the project, This is the sort of funding that we will be missing because of Brexit.
