German Professor Who Is A Hardcore Star Wars Fan Has Just Repainted An Observatory Into R2-D2
In a galaxy far far away (Germany) Hubert Zitt, professor at the Zweibrücken University of Applied Sciences and known for Star Trek and Star Warslectures, along with a small team, transformed the Zweibrück Observatory of the Natural Science Association into a giant R2-D2 ? and it is out of this world.
The sci-fi professor completed the project in September 2018, aided by his father-in-law Horst Helle, the master painter Klaus Ruffing and several helping students and it has caught the eyes of Star Wars fans everywhere. The most notable fan of the re-design was Star Wars actor Mark Hamill who tweeted about it, ?R2-D2 Observatory Transformed Germans Into Giant Nerds.?
While spectacular, Zitt and his team aren?t the first fans to complete a Star Wars design challenge. Goodsell Observatory at Carleton College in Minnesota was also transformed into an R2-D2 back in 2010. (H/T: Bored Panda)
