Tim will tell the story of Jodrell Bank's pioneering role in the development of radio astronomy. A story which takes us from wartime radar to global networks of radio telescopes. These instruments revealed what was previously unseen and undreamt of, a universe full of exotic objects such as quasars and pulsars. He will conclude with an update on Jodrell's current e-MERLIN telescope array and the forthcoming Square Kilometre Array.
