In the DVD’s extras of Charlie Chaplin’s legendary film The Circus, people were given access to photos of the premiere in 1928.

A fight is brewing to save the world’s largest steerable radio telescope in Green Bank, West Virginia. The Green Bank Telescope operates under the auspices of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, but a committee appointed by the National Science Foundation has recommended the facility be decommissioned in 2017.

Still, residents of Green Bank and West Virginia politicians are gearing up to stop the closure. They want the telescope to remain intact, even though its presence places certain burdens on the community.
