Description

Parkes Radio Telescope, 64m in diameter

I think it is one of the most beautiful and elegant structures I have ever seen in my life.

It looks so delicate. Except for its enormous size, it certainly doesn't "feel" like the dish weighs 300 tonnes (about 50% more than the Statue of Liberty) with a 475 tonne counter-weight and total weight of about 1,000 tonnes.

I enjoyed looking at it for hours and hours.
