Building Paranal from LEGO®
This video shows part of the assembly a 1:150 model of ESO's Paranal Observatory out of LEGO®. The model was designed by Dutch astronomer Frans Snik, and was assembled by a team of students and helpers of all ages. The whole platform model requires over 25 000 individual parts, plus substantial amount of time and patience.
