Kopernikus

Have you ever wondered what it was like to do astronomy 500 years ago, when the sky was still dark and unspoiled?

 

To get the feeling, me and my astro buddies Alex Forst and Benjamin Barakat dragged a replica of an anient telescope to one of the darkest spots in the Swiss Alps and Alex perfected the illusion by putting on a baroque dress. I think he looks like Giordano Bruno, but considering his fate, Alex insited he would rather be Kopernikus...
