Do they aim it at anything? Is it possible to aim it? Or is it just aimless research?

Do they aim it at anything? Is it possible to aim it? The direction of observation ("beam") is chosen electronically by phase delays between the antennas. LOFAR can observe in several directions simultaneously which allows a multi-user operation.
