| Description: | The hardware for the LBAs of the first UK LOFAR station has arrived at its new home. On the left you can see Owain Davies of the Chilbolton Observatory showing Aris Karastergiou and Kris Zarb-Adami some of the delights that these boxes contain. Derek McKay who is in charge of commissioning the LOFAR station is on the right, and your humble narrator is behind the camera.
Aside from the substantial joy that comes with the knowledge that you are in the presence of a very exciting instrument, albeit one that's still in kit form, it's the subtle, thoughtful little touches such as the one shown in the picture that truly warm the heart. |
