Suffused by Golden (orange) Light

© Madroon Community Consultants (MCC)

Today marks the birthday of King Willem Alexander. Over the years, the House of Orange has bestowed much gracious attention on the work of ASTRON and JIVE. The Dwingeloo telescope (1965), the WSRT (1970) and LOFAR (2010) have all been opened by successive souvereigns, and various other achievements have also enjoyed royal interest.

Since we do not have a more specific picture (no royal visit today), we offer this evocation of the golden light over the Dwingeloo heath, which could easily pass for orange.
