Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Koffler accelerator

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Weizmann Institute of Science is a world-renowned institute of higher learning and research in Rehovot, Israel. It differs from other Israeli universities in that only a graduate program is offered, and only in natural sciences. Shown here is the Koffler accelerator, a particle accelerator used by nuclear physicists.
Edit 1 - bottom plants cropped out (but without loosing that 'Just emerged from a jungle to find a spaceship' feeling).
Reason
Eerily futurist looking building, exemplified here by the twilight. Yes, it has grain and the building isn't immaculately focused, there are colour balance issues and the light at the bottom is blown, and a little distracting; but I think the colour and the dazzling light add to the effect.

  • OK, you may be right, some of the stars have some weird shapes but given that they only appear in the sky that is probably right. Even without the(dust) I still don't think it will make it. -24.128.48.224 23:01, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support cropped version This picture has lots of good things going for it. Great colors and lighting, interesting shapes. Dream-like night setting. It certainly looks like the sort of picture that would make people stop scrolling and take a moment to check it out. Greg L 04:08, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The koffler acclerator was for propelling nuclear particles, containing them in defined beams, Likewise at CERN, the LHC or Large Hadron Collider, see for yourself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.177.18.6 (talk) 08:51, 17 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
