	Lovell, Sir Bernard. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		He was a member of the cosmic-ray research team at the Univ. of Manchester, was occupied with radar research during World War II, and in 1946 showed that radar echoes could be obtained from daytime meteor showers, which are invisible using optical astronomical techniques.
		Lovell was the leader of the team that built at Jodrell Bank, near Manchester, England, what was then the largest steerable radiotelescope (completed 1957).
		The 250-ft-diameter (76-m) telescope (since surpassed in size) is now a part of the Jodrell Bank Observatory, which Lovell directed (1945–81).

	Jodrell Bank - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bernard Lovell, who wanted to investigate cosmic rays after his work on radar in World War II.
		The first use of the site for astrophysics was in 1945, when Bernard Lovell wished to use some radar equipment left over from World War II to investigate cosmic rays.
		In 1987, on its 30th anniversary, the telescope was renamed The Lovell Telescope in Sir Bernard's honour.

	Jodrell Bank - History
		Lovell realised that a much more sensitive radio telescope would be required to detect cosmic rays and so, in 1947, the researchers at the Jodrell Bank Experimental Station built a large parabolic reflector 66 metres (218 ft) across pointing upwards to observe the sky passing directly overhead.
		Lovell thus laid plans for an even larger telescope that would be "fully steerable" and so capable of observing the whole sky visible at Jodrell's latitude.
		Both Bernard Lovell and Charles Husband were knighted for their role in creating an icon of British science and technology.

	BookRags: Alfred Charles Bernard Lovell, Sir Biography
		Bernard Lovell was born Aug. 31, 1913, in the village of Oldland Common (Gloucestershire), Great Britain.
		Carefully choosing a known comet with desirable characteristics, Lovell, in October 1946, directed his radar equipment skyward and proved beyond question that the transient meteor-trail echoes he had observed earlier were signals bounced off the tails of comets.
		The potentialities of radio astronomy were therefore clear, and in 1952 Lovell convinced the British government and the Nuffield Foundation to jointly finance the construction of the largest, completely steerable radio telescope in the world at Jodrell Bank, now part of the Nuffield Radio Astronomy Laboratory.

	Lovell, (Alfred Charles) Bernard (1913-)
		With Clegg, he built a 218-foot transit telescope (the "wire bowl"), with which Robert Hanbury Brown and Cyril Hazard found that the Andromeda Galaxy was a radio source.
		Lovell is the author of many popular books, including In the Center of Immensities, and the textbook Radio Astronomy, which he co-authored with Clegg.
		An early skeptic of SETI, he responded coolly to a letter from Cocconi, dated June 29, 1959, proposing the use of the Jodrell Bank dish to search for interstellar signals.

		Lovell briefly traces his interest in physics to his hours tinkering with primitive radios as a boy, a visiting Methodist preacher's comments on Einstein's theory of relativity, and perhaps, most importantly, an incidental visit to a physics lab at University of Bristol.
		Nonetheless, Lovell was able to revitalize a project to conduct radio observations of meteor showers by acquiring surplus radio and radar equipment through his war connections.
		Bernard Lovell's story is one of drama and suspense, and additionally, it offers a fascinating look at the development of modern science from the war years through the 1980s.

		During World War II Lovell worked on developing a radar system to improve the aim of bombers in night raids.
		Lovell was born in Gloucestershire and studied at Bristol.
		In 1950, Lovell discovered that galactic radio sources emitted at a constant wavelength and that the fluctuations ('scintillation') recorded on the Earth's surface were introduced only as the radio waves met and crossed the ionosphere.

		Sir Bernard Lovell, a professor at the University of Manchester and Director of the Jodrell Bank radio telescope facility, had been active in the international astronautics community for many years.
		During June and July 1963, Sir Bernard was the guest of the Soviet Academy of Sciences on an unprecedented tour, for a Western scientist, of the major optical and radio observatories.
		In concluding his report to Dryden, Lovell said that he had promised Keldysh to convey the substance of these discussions to the "appropriate authorities in the United Kingdom and the United States of America." Now that Lovell had discharged his promise, a major question remained.

		Lovell's link in the United States was Fred Whipple, a Harvard astronomer, a personal friend, and a colleague in meteor astronomy.
		Lovell requested $10,000 to boost the lunar transmitter from ten to ninety kilowatts and $5,000 to rebuild a steerable radio telescope to replace the transit array.
		To Lovell it was "a mortifying thought that the largest [optical] telescope in Great Britain today is considerably smaller than the telescope which Herschel built." However, the national shame of "the steady decay of British influence in astronomy" had "been arrested by remarkable developments in.
