LOFAR, Radio telescope network in Exloo, Netherlands
The LOFAR telescope system consists of 20,000 interconnected antennas spread across 52 stations throughout eight European countries, forming an advanced astronomical observation network.
The Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy initiated LOFAR's construction in the early 2000s, leading to its official inauguration by Queen Beatrix in 2010.
Scientists from multiple European nations collaborate at LOFAR facilities, contributing to international research projects in astronomy and atmospheric sciences.
LOFAR's central processing unit in the Netherlands receives data through fiber optic connections from all stations, processing information about celestial objects and cosmic phenomena.
LOFAR detects radio waves between 10 and 240 MHz, allowing astronomers to observe celestial objects invisible to conventional telescopes and study the early formation of galaxies.
