Germany's Zweibrücken Observatory bears a striking resemblance to a beloved "Star Wars" sidekick.
The new look — actually implemented around August 2018, according to the observatory's Facebook page — comes courtesy of University of Zweibrücken professor Hubert Zitt. Zitt is known for his Star Trek and Star Wars lectures, according to the German newspaper Pfälzische Merkur, and he completed the paint job with the help of his father-in-law Horst Helle, the painter Klaus Ruffing and several students.
