🌌 #SpaceX's 2nd gen Starlink satellites are leaking up to 32 times more unintended radio waves than the 1st gen, potentially blinding telescopes like LOFAR and jeopardizing our understanding of the Universe!

In 1944 the CIA created a manual on sabotaging organizations. Among other things, it suggests to "make speeches... at great length", "refer all matters to committees", "make committees as large as possible", "insist on perfect work in relatively unimportant products"
Kamerlid @LucStultiens vroeg tijdens de begrotingsbehandeling naar de telescoop die ik in Chili mocht openen deze maand. Door in Europees verband samen te werken lopen we als Nederland voorop in de sterrenkunde. Belangrijk voor de wetenschap en voor onze maatschappij.
Hiding in plain sight: a cosmic balled of black holes. This image shows my composite of the @LOFAR 144 MHz view of the Perseus cluster overlaid on the amazing image released by @ESA_Euclid last week.

Sparkles zijn kleine bliksemontladingen op grote hoogte. Met LOFAR radiotelescoop kunnen we deze ontladingen zeer gedetailleerd en precies meten. Dit helpt onweersbuien beter te begrijpen. Hoe meer we weten hoe nauwkeuriger we hiervoor kunnen waarschuwen https://t.co/QcrmXKJRDp
@mariekebaan@op1 Haai! Ik sta al in de kranten en ben al bij @RTVDrenthe geweest, wat wil ik nog meer? Naar de randstad? Dachtetnie.

Recently, @euronews visited us to talk about #LOFAR. They were very impressed with our radio telescope, which has thousands of antennas, spread across the continent. Together they create a unique eye for exploring the far reaches of the universe.

Today we announced a new collaboration with @Keysight to advance the adoption of phased array technology.

We are moving our Dwingeloo Test Station for LOFAR2.0 for the next series of tests, as part of a big #LOFAR upgrade, which will enable it to collect even more data and increase its accuracy. @RTVDrenthe visited us to take a look themselves.
