You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.222.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:53, 20 August 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((Infobox Telescope))

The '''Effelsberg 100-m Radio Telescope''' is a [[radio telescope]] in the [[Ahr Hills]] (part of the [[Eifel]]) in [[Bad Münstereifel]], [[Germany]]. For 29 years the Effelsberg Radio Telescope was the largest fully steerable radio telescope on Earth, surpassing the [[Lovell Telescope]] in the UK.<ref name="Ridpath2012">((cite book|last=Ridpath|first=Ian|title=A Dictionary of Astronomy|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=O31j9UJ3U4oC&pg=PA139|year=2012|publisher=[[OUP Oxford]]|isbn=978-0-19-960905-5|page=139))</ref> In 2000, it was surpassed by the [[Green Bank Observatory]]'s [[Green Bank Telescope|Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope]] in [[Green Bank, West Virginia|Green Bank]], US, which has a slightly larger elliptical 100 by 110-metre aperture.<ref>[http://www.nrao.edu/pr/2002/gbtpulsars/ Newly Commissioned Green Bank Telescope Bags New Pulsars], [[NRAO]], 2002-01-04</ref> 

== Geography ==
The telescope is located about 1.3&nbsp;km northeast of Effelsberg, a southeastern part of the town of [[Bad Münstereifel]] in [[North Rhine-Westphalia]]. It is less than 300&nbsp;m west of the 398&nbsp;m high Hünerberg, which is in neighbouring [[Rhineland-Palatinate]]. The boundary is a stream, the Effelsberger Bach, which runs only a few metres east of the telescope. The Effelsberger Bach is 6.5&nbsp;km long, flowing from the Effelsberger Wald into the Sahrbach, which in turn flows south and into the [[Ahr]] river.

A hiking path leads past the telescope; in 2004 part of this was turned into a planet trail with information panels about the [[Solar System]] with its [[planets]]. The trail ends at the 39&nbsp;cm model of the [[Sun]] next to the visitor centre.

== Radio telescope ==
The Effelsberg radio telescope is operated by the [[Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy]] in [[Bonn]], the [[radio astronomy]] institute of the [[Max-Planck-Gesellschaft]]. It was constructed from 1968 to 1971 and inaugurated on 1 August 1972. A major technical difficulty in building a radio telescope of 100&nbsp;m diameter was how to deal with the deformation of the mirror due to gravity when it is rotated to point in a different direction. The mirror must have a precise [[parabola|parabolic]] shape to focus the radio waves, but a conventionally-designed dish of this size would "sag" slightly when rotated so the mirror loses its parabolic shape. The Effelsberg telescope uses a novel computer-designed mirror support structure which deforms in such a way that the deformed mirror will always take a parabolic shape. The focus will move during such deformation, and the [[antenna feed|feed antenna]] suspended in front of the mirror is moved slightly by the computer control system as the telescope is rotated to keep it at the focus. Tests after completion of the telescope showed that the intended accuracy of the mirror surface of 1&nbsp;mm had not only been met, but exceeded significantly.

About 45% of the observing time is available to external astronomers. The Effelsberg 100-m telescope was involved in several surveys, including the one at 408&nbsp;MHz (73&nbsp;cm) by Haslam et al.<ref>Haslam, C. G. T.; Salter, C. J.; Stoffel, H.; Wilson, W.
