LOFAR Aerial Photos – Nançay

Another of the LOFAR sites has become visible in aerial imagery. The French site at Nançay can now be seen in Apple's Maps.app, which is supplied with iPhones and iPads. If you want to find it yourself, here are the co-ordinates: 47°22.54'N, 2°11.56'E, or go to Nançay and look for the large T-shaped antenna array north of the town. Under the left "arm" of the T, you'll find the LOFAR site.

KAIRA Lemmings

Lemmings are very common in the Kilpisjärvi area, and they have featured on this blog before. But when we went for a service trip to KAIRA in late June, we took a simple panorama with an iPhone, and then transformed it into a circular, so-called "little planet" panorama – and we were quite surprised by what we found!

Click on the image for higher resolution; you can just make out the KAIRA site in the 4 o'clock and 8 o'clock sectors!

With this image we wish all of you a very good weekend!

Photo and processing: Thomas Ulich (on MiVyoo you'll find the original panorama and details on how it was done).
