    Jodrell Bank Control Room
    Lovell Telescope Control Desk in photo is the original from 1950s (with insides upgraded!). Scientists now control 9 telescopes from this room.
    The telescope controller in that photo is Andy Howson. One of 6 controllers who work 8 hour shifts, 24 hours a day, every day of the year.

    Thirty Meter Telescope may not be built in Hawaii, say astronomers - physicsworld.com
    http://physicsworld.com/.../jul/08/thirty-meter-telescope-may-not-be-built-in-hawaii-say-astronomers
    Officials behind the proposed Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) are considering new locations for the $1.4bn facility, and expect to decide
    whether to opt for a new site early next year. The TMT is due to be built on Hawaii's Mauna Kea mountain but, following protests from
    local residents, its building permit was revoked last December by the state's Supreme Court. New locations that are being considered
    include Baja California in Mexico, the Canary Islands and Chile, as well as locations in India and China.

    Old Radio Telescope Restored for New Uses - Sky & Telescope
    http://www.skyandtelescope.com/astronomy-news/old-radio-telescope-restored-for-new-uses/
    Abandoned for 25 years, a 12-meter antenna once used during the Cold War is now introducing astronomy students to the radio universe.

    Deep in the Pisgah National Forest in western North Carolina sits a sprawling communications complex. Back in 1962, NASA established
    the site as a satellite-tracking station. But in 1981, it was handed over to the Department of Defense, which installed a 12-meter-
    wide radio antenna to collect classified data during the Cold War.

    ESA Science & Technology: The curious case of Earth's leaking atmosphere
    http://sci.esa.int/cluster/58028-the-curious-case-of-earth-s-leaking-atmosphere/
    Earth's atmosphere is leaking. Every day, around 90 tonnes of material escapes from our planet's upper atmosphere
    and streams out into space. Although missions such as ESA's Cluster fleet have long been investigating this leakage,
    there are still many open questions. How and why is Earth losing its atmosphere – and how is this relevant in our
    hunt for life elsewhere in the Universe?

    Oppositions, conjunctions, seasons, and ring plane crossings of the giant planets | The Planetary Society
    http://www.planetary.org/blogs/emily-lakdawalla/2016/06031044-oppositions-conjunctions-rpx.html
    When are the solstices and equinoxes on the giant planets, and when are they best positioned for view from Earth? I ask these questions a lot
    as I write about Earth photos of giant planets, and I finally decided to gather the answers to those questions in a single post. I queried the
    JPL Horizons database for all the dates that I was looking for, figuring I'd save myself time looking up these dates for future posts. "Save
    myself time," ha! Famous last words. I spent all day playing with data tables and figuring out what they meant. In this post, I'll list orbital
    information for Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, and Jupiter. (If you're interested in Mars, here's an explainer on Mars' seasonal calendar; I'll cover
    Mars, Venus, and Mercury orbital events in a future post.)

    SETI Institute Calls for New Tools in Search for ET | SETI Institute
    http://www.seti.org/seti-institute/press-release/seti-institute-calls-new-tools-search-et
    “Alien Mindscapes – A Perspective on the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence” authored by Nathalie A. Cabrol, Director of the Carl Sagan
    Center for Research at the SETI Institute, suggests the need for a sea change in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, where the full
    complement of physical, biological, computer and social sciences are deployed in a quest to look for life as we do not know it. Cabrol asserts
    that “To find ET, we must open our minds beyond a deeply-rooted, Earth-centric perspective, expand our research methods and deploy new tools.
    Never before has so much data been available in so many scientific disciplines to help us grasp the role of probabilistic events in the
    development of extraterrestrial intelligence. These data tell us that each world is a unique planetary experiment. Advanced intelligent life
    is likely plentiful in the universe, but may be very different from us, based on what we now know of the coevolution of life and environment.”
