Jodrell in the news

Below I list the news articles that I've come across that mention Jodrell Bank Observatory. While there is a lot of research done at Jodrell Bank that doesn't use the Observatory, I don't include those here: these articles all bear a relationship to the Observatory itself. I may also include journal articles about the Observatory, but there's none of those here yet.
