Two months on from the announcement about Jodrell Bank Observatory's future funding, almost £50,000 has been raised thanks to your generosity.
While discussions continue, no solution is yet in place.

Apparently a gov.co.uk petition has been launched lobbying to save #JodrellBank.
It's currently awaiting formal approval.
If and when this is given, I will re-post it to everyone!

Did I travel all the way to #JodrellBank this morning for a 5min TV interview? Yes reader, I did.
Did I then persuade the fab e-MERLIN Director Simon Garrington to let me climb inside the Lovell Telescope?
Well, if you can't flex a Royal title occasionally, then what is the point of having it? 😇🔭🧪

Well I think I am liking this new +ve PM! In response to @sarahrussellmp.bsky.social on Jodrell:
"there must be a way to save #JodrellBank and I give her a commitment at this dispatch box - we will find it"
Brilliant Burnham! Can you now save all the other epic projects that have also been cut 🙏🔭

Sadly it's not just #JodrellBank losing funding, with deep cuts across the board for UK astronomy. One example is the HiPERCAM project whose funding has been entirely cut to save £50K/yr - peanut-levels of £s. Spectacular fast transient science lost, for what? 🔭😡

One of Astronomy’s Fastest Cameras May Stop Operating Over a $67,000 Funding Gap
The camera that checked JWST’s clock is losing its funding.

Short-sighted, stupid cuts to the UKRI budget include shutting down Jodrell Bank, the icon of British astronomy. (Many other cuts too, including 20% to our brand new @vrubinobs.bsky.social). Interesting politically to shut down a major facility in...um..Manchester 🔭 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Jodrell Bank's Lovell telescope faces axe in science cuts, BBC understands
Astronomers warn it would tear the heart out of UK science, and leave a generation untrained.

Prof Brian Cox: ‘ #JodrellBank is the most visible causality of UKRI’s short sighted ‘vision’ for #science, but as you’ll see below, there are many other valuable UK facilities and collaborations at risk.’ 1/

Chuckle o'clock: over on stargazers lounge (ace place for 🔭chat) someone got v confused about the whole 🇬🇧Astronomer Royal vs 🏴Astronomer Royal thing, accusing me of closing #JodrellBank to undermine the UK for Scottish supremacy (paraphrased). The response was mighty & furious 💪 poster apologised 🙏

An unfathomably bad decision which hopefully Burnham will reverse or for which he will find alternative funding sources.

I'm absolutely devastated for colleagues at Jodrell Bank who found out this morning that funding for the UK's e-MERLIN radio telescope array will be terminated. This is a short-sighted move, to save a tiny fraction of the overall UK science budget. #SaveJodrellBank 🔭🧪
