It\u2019s a long way up \u2013 and down (trust us, we\u2019ve climbed them!) \u2013 and once at the top, the observatory can be entered through a trap door.<\/p>\n<p>Look up and you may not immediately click what the ceiling panels are made of. However, you\u2019ll get a clue when you start to turn the wheel to reposition the opening in the roof and realise how light it is. The dome is actually made from papier-m\u00e2ch\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>The reason for this is to allow the panels to be rotated with ease. What\u2019s amazing is that this paper dome has stood here, high in the sky, for a century.

For example, during the lead-up to the Apollo 11 lunar landing, the Manchester Astronomical Society kept a keen eye on the moon and noticed that the Aristarchus crater appeared to be gleaming brightly. They sent a telegram to NASA who forwarded the message to the Apollo 11 crew \u2013 who confirmed they could also see this strange illumination.<\/p>\n<p>Known as a transient lunar phenomenon, what both our astronomers in Manchester and the astronauts witnessed was the regular but little understood appearance of light or colour changes on the moon\u2019s surface. But of course, the Godlee telescopes allow us to see much further than the moon. In fact, you can see all nine planets in our Solar System including Pluto \u2013 if you know what you\u2019re looking at, that is.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-791 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2017\/12\/Lovell-Telescope-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2017\/12\/Lovell-Telescope-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2017\/12\/Lovell-Telescope-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2017\/12\/Lovell-Telescope-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2017\/12\/Lovell-Telescope.jpg 1382w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Love for Lovell<\/h2>\n<p>Though powerful, the telescopes at Godlee are no match for the Lovell Telescope at Jodrell Bank in Cheshire.

Jodrell Bank has been chosen as the UK\u2019s candidate for UNESCO World Heritage status next year.
