    "Brother Benoît is a lowly member of a religious community somewhere in France (but you don't need to speak the language to understand this animation - no words are spoken as such). He is given all of the menial work to do. One day the head of the community tells him to clean the grand organ in the church which is a vast task. Fortunately he has the help of a half witted hen which wanders in to the church – so all is not lost!  
    This is a treat – and it is no wonder that Frère Benoît et les Grandes Orgues (to give it its original French name) won the Audience Award at the Soleure film festival in 2010. It is directed and designed by Michel Dufourd and produced by Nadasdy Films. If you are a fan of 2001: A Space Odyssey, hang on in there till the very end !"  Kuriositas

    "OUR SOLAR SYSTEM Winner and Overall Winner Jupiter with Io and Ganymede - September 2010 by Damian Peach (UK). Jupiter depicted along with two of its 64 known moons, Io and Ganymede, showing the surface of the gas giant streaked with colourful bands and dotted with huge oval storms; detail is also visible on the two moons. The photos which make up this composite image were taken from Barbados where the excellent atmospheric clarity allows for exceptionally clear astronomical pictures."
