Photos of LOFAR
ASTRON will harness more than 10,000 radio antennas spread across the northern Netherlands into the German state of Lower Saxony and guide them with the help of IBM technology and research expertise. These images, courtesy LOFAR, are available for download from their site. A mirror of the executable animation is also available on from our page.
