Happy Birthday, Bernard!
Sir Bernard Lovell was born today in 1913 (and he's still alive - hooray!)
Lovell was the driving force behind the construction of the Mark 1 Jodrell Bank telescope, which was the world's first large radio telescope and the first steerable one. He showed that M31 was a radio source and for all practical purposes created radio astronomy.
Many happy returns of the day!
