RADIO TELESCOPE.

The sound that you hear from the radio may be carried over to you by the radio waves over the air from the radio stations, which may be a few thousand kilometers away. Radio telescopes capture ripples of stars all over the sprawling universe and may take millions of years from their sources to reach Earth before they are picked up by the telescope.

The waves were discovered by radio engineer Carl Jenski, who noticed that his wireless device receives certain radial star signals when he moves the mobile device antenna towards the galaxy" the Milky Way". The most significant observatories are located in an isolated places where the reception is not confused by transmission waves. Some of the radial telescopes are made of connected metal plates in concave shape surface called the reflector rising from its center an antenna column. The inverter and the antenna are connected to a telescope axis that enables the telescope to wrap in all directions.

The famous radio telescope at Jodrell Bank in England is designed for this style.The reflector is as its name shows. it reflects the radio waves it absorbs from the atmosphere towards the central antenna in the center. This antenna is made of a wire mesh that rotates independently, by directing the captured radio waves to the receiver, which in turn turns it into a particular type of graphic linear plot. Radio astronomy is concerned with studying the patterns of these lines resulting from the captured radio waves. The astronomer uses multiple tools to help understand the implications of these plots, from which many facts are identified about the star observed in terms of its temperature, speed and the nature of its composition. Many stars, including the sun, emit radiant waves, and many of these radiant waves are difficult to detect or even observe.

 But there are some pulsars and quasars in the universe, which emit regular, frequency signals. The first pulses were discovered in 1967 and was known to be small stars spinning around themselves at high speeds (some in less than a minute) and sending powerful radiation waves at basic intervals. Scientists believe that these pulses are stars in the period of dying. They allocate one of them, which is a diameter of about 30 km and revolves once in a fraction of a third of a second, was identified as the remains of a star bursting in 1054 forming the Crab Nebula.

Quasars are, in fact, a distant galaxy with a fluctuating blaze of light and other radiations coming from its central regions. The activity in these galaxies is caused by a giant black hole at their very heart, pulling in material from its surroundings, teaching it to shreds and heating it up to tremendous temperatures before swallowing it up.


Sir Bernard Lovell was born in 1913, studied physics at the University of Bristol and worked as a lecturer at the university of Manchester. The idea of setting up the Radical Telescope at Jordel Bank was implemented and he became director of the Observatory in 1951.
