The Mills Cross Telescope was a two-dimensional radio telescope built by Bernard Mills in 1954 at the Fleurs field station of the Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation in the area known now as Badgerys Creek, about 40 km west of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Each arm of the cross was 1500 feet (450 m) long, running N–S and E–W, and produced a fan beam in the sky.
