Detail of the Lovell Telescope, currently the third largest, steerable dish radio telescope in the world. It is 76.2 metres in diameter. Photo: Jodrell Bank Observatory, Cheshire, August 2012 📡 #AlphabetChallenge #Machinery #WeekMForMachinery #Science #Astronomy #JodrellBank #ECK #EastCoastKin
Portrait-oriented,  2:3 image.

The curved back (or underside) of a radio telescope dish. It is constructed from a series of curved and straight steel beams. 

The telescope is designed so that the dish can be rotated and tilted according to need.The gears and superstructure to enable this are not seen in the photo.

The section shown here extends out from the right hand side of the frame. The outer curve of the structure is on the left hand side of the frame.

The background is grey sky with some light shining through the blanket of cloud.

The rush to speculate that asylum seekers are responsible for every crime in the news is a sort of opportunistic informational terrorism. Until it’s disproved it stokes fear and hatred. When it is disproved there are no adverse consequences and they know that they only have to be lucky once.

There have been strong words of support for Palestine and protestors from Ed Miliband and the Labour govt. On arms, he has said the UK is not supplying bombs or bullets. A Channel 4 investigation found that the UK had supplied 110,000 bullets to Israel as well as £400k worth bomb and missile parts.
