The 100m Radio Telescope Effelsberg enters operations of the e-EVN network, enhancing its sensitivity to detect the radio sky providing the sharpest images in nearby real time. The European radio interferometric network e-EVN almost doubles its sensitivity with the addition of the largest radio telescope in Europe. With the "First Light" on April 1, 2008, Effelsberg has joined another six radio telescopes spread over Europe with the completion of a 35 km optical fiber link. (source: mpifr-bonn.mpg.de)
