July 27, 2022

Lovell's giant radio telescope will take center stage at the Bluedot festival. On the surface of its dish will broadcast images from the James Webb Space Telescope, NASA Blue Marble Next Generation satellites, photographs of the near and far sides of the Moon, as well as the surface of the Sun. The soundtrack for the show will be recordings from space, including the sonification (representation of information in audio format) of a scan of the Milky Way galaxy made by a radio telescope.
