Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory - Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory (MRAO) is home to a number of large aperture synthesis radio telescopes, including the One-Mile Telescope, 5km Ryle Telescope, and the Arcminute Microkelvin Imager. Radio interferometry started in the mid 1940s on the outskirts of Cambridge, but with funding from the Science Research Council and a donation of £100,000 from Mullard Limited, construction of the Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory commenced at Lord's Bridge, a few kilometres to the west of Cambridge.
One-Mile Telescope - The 'One-Mile Telescope' at the Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory (MRAO) was completed by the Radio Astronomy Group of Cambridge University in 1964. It is an array of radio telescopes (2 fixed and 1 moveable, fully steerable 60-ft-diameter paraboloids operating simultaneously at 1420 and 408 MHz) designed to perform aperture synthesis interferometry.
Sky & Telescope - Sky & Telescope is a monthly magazine providing articles and information on all aspects of astronomy, space exploration, telescope equipment, and amateur telescope making and use. The articles are intended for the lay reader, but are not overly simplified.
Ryle Telescope - The Ryle Telescope (also known as the '5 km telescope') was a linear East-West radio telescope array at Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory. In 2004 three of the telescopes were moved, creating a compact two-dimensional array of telescopes at the East end of the interferometer.
