Reposted by LindaBThis Many Years Ago @thismanyyearsago.bsky.social · 26/09/202643 years ago, on the 26th of September 1983, the Soviet nuclear early warning system reported a missile launch from the United States. Russian lieutenant colonel Stanislav Petrov judged the warning to be a false alarm and disobeyed military protocol, preventing a retaliatory attack. #otd 🗃️ 114331

LindaB @berrywats.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Thank you for such an informative article. I love Jodrell Bank and all that it does for science. The Lovell telescope is iconic and a landmark for miles around. 010

Its fame derives from the archaeologist Mortimer Wheeler consulting Tolkien on it in the ‘20s. Tolkien was inspired by the idea of a lost cursed ring & the rest is literary history. 🕰️C4thAD 7461136

I can’t tell you, and that’s the point. It will either be something extraordinary that none of us can yet predict, or we will defund it and leave Cheshire with a rusting monument to unfulfilled potential and discoveries never made.” 🔭🧪 929276
LindaB @berrywats.bsky.social · 18/07/2026Defunding it would be an absolute tragedy, not just because of the role it plays globally in astronomy, but also because it is a landmark for those of us who live in the near distant hills. I look at it every morning and ask the same question -"What are you going to discover today?" 0110
