R2-D2 Zweibrücken Observatory, Zweibrücken, Germany
View Original Description
A university in Germany has transformed its hilltop observatory into the charming likeness of Star War's RD-D2 drone. The observatory is small and kind of hard to spot, but it is worth visiting. Its dome was painted to resemble the Star Wars character R2-D2 in 2018. It was the second observatory dome to be painted in such a way, following from Goodsell Observatory in 2010. The repainting took 120 man-hours. It gained internet fame after a post on Twitter by Star Wars actor Mark Hamill.
