Participants will also visit the Low Frequencey Array (Lofar), which will be the largest radio telescope in the world. It is currently under construction; 25.000 antennas are being placed in the northern provinces of the Netherlands and in a part of Germany. Lofar will observe electromagnetic radiation with frequencies ranging from 10 to 250 MHz and is expected to detect signals of the first stars and galaxies after the Big Bang in the early universe.
