The Dish - in Lego. And it tracks too!

at
The iconic radio telescope at Parkes in rural New South Wales, a.k.a. The Dish, has been done proud by an obvious fan Ross Crawford, who has created this faithful replication in Lego.

According to CSIRO, the current version tracks correctly too, with azimuth and elevation controls.

To cap it off, he's working on incorporating go-to star tracking too!
