I built this last year from around 5500 Lego pieces. It's a model of the furture European Extremely Large Telescope, to be erected n Chile during the coming decade. The model design was made by Dutch astronomer Frans Snik and you can read more about it and download the instructions and parts list here.
If you want to marvel at it up close, it is on display at the Astronomy Department of Uppsala University. They have one in Göttingen as well and I guess there are several more around.
Radio Paradise is an internet radio station, run solely through the voluntary support from listeners. It is such a good station, with hand-picked playlists from a great variety of genres and no ads, that I have been listening regularly for over a decade and sent them money several times.
Now, the same as a few years ago, the royalty organizations want to change the deal on how much money they get and it threatens to make small stations such as Radio Paradise impossible. Read all about it in the open letter from Radio Paradise to David Byrne.
“Radio Schweden”, die deutsche Redaktion der schwedischen öffentlich-rechtlichen Radioanstalt SR, wird abgeschafft. Sehr schade, aber auch irgendwie verständlich.
