Some 4.4 million space objects billions of light-years away have been mapped by astronomers, including 1 million space objects that hadn’t been spotted before.
SETI, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, has traditionally focused on radio frequencies higher than a gigahertz, such as the hydrogen-line frequency at 1.42 GHz.SETI astronomers tend to ...
The 300,000 new galaxies were discovered as part of a study involving 200 scientists from 18 countries, using a Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR) telescope in the Netherlands.
By connecting stations of the international LOFAR radio telescope array, astronomers have now produced the first high-resolution image of a distant quasar at meter radio wavelengths. This ...
The giant LOFAR radio telescope network will be used, among other things, to take a close look at giant black holes like the one at the heart of active galaxy Cygnus A (shown here), which is about ...
LOFAR is currently the only radio telescope network with the capability to produce high-resolution images at frequencies below 100 megahertz. As a radio wave travels across space, its frequency ...

In Lofar's new extremely sharp image we're seeing a collection of bright spots, which are most likely supernova remnants, explains Eskil Varenius at Chalmers University of Technology, who led the ...
The cosmic structure, known as J1601+3102, was captured using the LOFAR telescope network and stretches a staggering 200,000 light-years, nearly three times the diameter of our Milky Way galaxy.
