"It just so happens that this particular form of Russian and American space work fits into our normal research problems." The rest of Jodrell Bank's work is done on pure astronomical research -measuring the angular diameter of quasars and other radio sources, determining the hydrogen content of galaxies, pinpointing the location of radio sources by lunar occultation, mapping the Milky Way. Lovell's particular speciality is studying small flare stars that periodically increase in luminosity...
