I am an astronomer, working for JIVE. It stands for Joint Institute for VLBI in Europe. At the moment I am doing radio astronomy - VLBI is a radio astronomical technique. The European VLBI Network (EVN) consists of several telescopes in Europe, China, and South Africa. At JIVE I am a member of the Science Operations and Support Group. My main job is to organize and schedule Fringe Test and Network Monitoring Experiments, and report back to the stations one their performance. Some astronomy links related to my work.

JIVE is hosted by a Dutch institute called Astron. It is located in Dwingeloo, Drenthe, the Netherlands. I live in a close-by town called Hoogeveen. This is how the evening sky looks like in the centre of Hoogeveen with Venus and Mercury. Venus itself produced another show when it passed in front of the Sun in 2004. See my images of this Venus transit, made in China. My home institute in Hungary is FÖMI, more closely the Satellite Geodetic Observatory in Penc.
