AI Summary

An international team led by Leiden University used the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) to create the most detailed and sensitive low‑frequency radio image of the sky to date. The map covers a region roughly 25 times the size of the full moon and identifies nearly 63,000 radio sources, including active galactic nuclei and star‑forming galaxies. The findings have been accepted for publication in Astronomy & Astrophysics and are currently available as a preprint on arXiv.
