Research
In 2017 we launched COSMOS a flagship international artists commission and residency for Lovell Telescope. This enabled artists to spend time at Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics and work with researchers and scientists to experiment with the data collected by the telescope. Here they gained a new perspective on the observatory's research and visualised knowledge gathered about deep space.
