In Europe, there are about 50 stations like the one in Exloo, with thousands of antennas spread across the continent. They constitute a unique eye for exploring the far reaches of the universe.
Today LOFAR is a distributed research infrastructure enabling world-leading radio astronomical research. The project started in the Netherlands but today the project’s partners are in nine other European countries.
