Effelsberg is a very fine radio telescope. :)

Aus ähnlichen Gründen konnte Musk mit #starlink nach der Flutkatastrophe im Aartal nicht als Retter posen, denn das Effelsberg Radioteleskop steht quasi ein Tal weiter.

Darum stören Starlinks Satelliten die Erforschung des Weltalls
Die Satelliten von Starlink sollen mehr Menschen einen Zugang zum Internet ermöglichen. Doch dabei stören sie die Erforschung des Weltalls.

Effelsberg Radio Telescope: The Ultimate 2026 Guide
What if I told you that the most profound secrets of our universe aren't hidden in the visible light we see, but in the invisible radio waves washing over us every second? As an optical engineer who…

A dish in the sky

you can go for a walk around the base of the big dish. there are posters along the way explaining things, including why you should go on airplane mode while you are there.
profile shot of me, looking up at the lovell telescope, the big white dish held up by crane towers and swathed in scaffolding allowing it to point everywhere. me looking at an information post showing a picture of the whole sky in radio waves. it is an oval that is mostly red, but with a bright white line in the centre, surrounded by colours gradually fading through light blue and purple and a bit of black. the picture is a composite of data from the lovell telescope and the effelsberg telescope in germany. black is the faintest radio, then it gets brighter / stronger through red, then blue, then yellow, then white. some text at the bottom of the board explains that the lovell could detect the signal from a mobile phone if it was on the surface of mars, and switching it off, or onto airplane mode helps keep the site a bit quieter for the instruments a better shot of the text explaining the mobile phone thing: "the lovell telescope could detect the signal from your mobile phone if you were standing on the surface of mars! help us with our science, please switch off your mobile phone."

I‘ve never made it to Arecibo.

I grew up close to the 100m Effelsberg telescope in Germany and was always hugely impressed about the size of that metal bowl, especially when it started moving.

JAXA has the 64 m at Usuda.

And the larger radio observatories (GBT, Jodrell, Effelsberg, etc.) can be retasked for spacecraft receive - but that involves swapping in receivers and a lot of other work.

Сама ідея використовувати радіотелескопи як бістатичні приймачі не нова — Effelsberg у парі з радаром TIRA ловив об'єкти до сантиметра ще з 1996 року. Новим став моніторинг геостаціонара на вимогу, в реальному часі.

JERA LUTTER born 1960 Radio Telescope, Effelsberg XV: September 12, 2013 2013 German photographer Vera Lutter uses the earliest and most simple camera technology at a massive scale. She transforms shipping containers into camera obscuras and uses them to produce unique paper negatives of monumental structures. The Effelsberg Telescope in Germany, at 100 metres wide, is one of the biggest radio telescopes on Earth. It detects ancient radio waves that have travelled for light years to reach our planet, helping astronomers understand the origins of the universe. Gelatin silver print Museum no.

Show me your favorite #science themed coffee (or tea) #cup. This here is mine. I got it many years ago from my institute (maybe for the 40th anniversary of the Effelsberg radio telescope).

Photo of a white porcelain cup on a red background. One can see a horizon and a dark sky with stars from the Big Dipper printed on its side. It also features the text '100m Radioteleskop Effelsberg'. The most surprising feature is a small wooden radio telescope which is mounted on the handle that can spin 360°.

🎃 Reposting this from last year, since it got deleted on the old instance.

This is a radio image of some nebula from our GLOSTAR galactic plane survey, that we conducted with the Very Large Array and the Effelsberg telescope at a frequency of about 5 GHz […]

The main goal of the survey was to pinpoint sites of active star formation, but there are many other interesting sources in the data. Our data products are images with various resolutions:

- VLA D config ~18"
- VLA B-config ~1"
- VLA+Effelsberg ~18"
- VLA D+B config: ~4"

The images will be all […]

(Copied from the old server).

What is the GLOSTAR Survey?

We used the Very Large Array as well as the Effelsberg telescope to map in total 145 square degrees of the Galacic Plane at a frequency range of 4-8 GHz. We observed the radio continuum (full […]

Radio image of 16 square degrees of the galactic plane in a 'heat' colormap. One can see the diffuse emission of the Milky Way as well as many extended and compact structures in form of filaments, bubbles, and all kind of forms.

Had a dream last night in which I was frantically looking through a copy of Kraus' "Radio Astronomy" textbook trying to find a picture of the Effelsberg radio telescope.

I have no idea why.....
