-Indeed very pretty.

 Then... WAH!  They guided us **inside** the [[http://linac.fnal.gov/ | Linac]]!
 The Linac is the LINear ACcelerator facility, the first stage of acceleration
 that produces protons for the MainInjector.  It was like entering an old

+The room looks like the bridge of an old starship, surrounded by monitors,

 FermiLab is no doubt the most amazing place in the world:
