Ireland’s radio telescope station for the pan-European Low Frequency Array has officially gone live.
The node, which went on stream on 27 July, links Ireland into a network of stations 2,000 kilometres across, with the far westerly location at Birr Castle Demesne, County Offaly, adding significantly to the telescope’s view.
The government provided €1.4 million to build and commission the station and it will cover the Irish station’s costs.
