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.
