The History of the Jodrell Plank Observatory


The Lowestoft Very Small (radio) Telescope the LVST at the Jodrell Plank Observatory



“The Jodrell Plank Observatory, set up in a shed by an alienated being from a dying democracy. Its location Lowestoft Suffolk Earth.   Its purpose: to seek the beauty and intelligence that is all around us on Earth and throughout the Cosmos.  Kurt Thrust is its founder and current director.  For him, it began one lost night on a lonely country road near Beccles, looking for a shortcut that he never found.  It began with a closed deserted diner, and an architect too long without sleep to continue his career.  It began with the landing of an ideology from another time and place.  Now 'Thrust' knows that the ‘Fascists’ are here, that they have taken human form.  Somehow he must convince a disbelieving world that the nightmare has already begun”.
