Cheshire is centre of search for aliens

BRITAIN is set to lead the search for alien life after being chosen as the base for the world's biggest collection of radio telescopes.

Jodrell Bank Observatory has been placed at the heart of a new £1.3billion project to investigate the mysteries of space.

How cool is that.

It's not the planet that's God foresaken. It's the inhabitants.

2nd line.

AWESOME

Maybe they'll have a live feed through one of the telescopes - we could embed it and watch on ATS

I like your thinking pal.

Good for Cheshire and, for those that are interested, there's an intriguing report in the interviews below about a huge unidentified object being witnessed over Jodrell radio dish:

Sun.co.uk?

Batboy Sun?

Why all the excitement. What makes the UK any better of a place than anywhere else. You can rest assured that if they do discover anything. We'll be the last to hear about so you can forget the live feed idea. I think we need to start exploring different frequencys or something. Can you imagine an advanced alien species operating on radio waves.

Rodger Dodger, over and out.

These are radio telescopes, not optical telescopes.

They're radio scopes they listen you'd need some rather expensive gear to translate to video

Having said that I'd be happy to listen. I'm a sound engineer by trade so I love to listen

Ahh I discovered that after re-reading but but it was too late to edit my post

It's cool that people are becoming more interested in searching for extraterrestrial life and I really hope they find something out there!

Too bad ancient radio telescopes can only detect civilizations that no longer exist, or can only detect civilizations that have advanced to the point where the frequencies we are looking for are of no importance...

Thats a very good point. It would be just our luck to pick up a signal from an extinct civilisation. It would be funny if the message was we need help.

Thought someone would've said by now, but the UK is only the base for building it, it's not going to be placed in this country when finished.

SKA is designed to answer some key questions about the Universe.

Its location is undecided but could be built in Australia or Southern Africa.

That should probably say assembled or placed instead of built.


Would've checked the suns page, but am a liverpool fan and after the way they treat our fans after hillsborough I took the advice of someone on a liverpool forum and blocked their site, so any sun pages instantly don't connect, and I won't be reversing that on my browser for anything. If the sun have a story I want to know about I just google news it and find other sources instead. (which are usually better.)
