Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.What to do with your old CDs is a conundrum not easily solved. A dazzling sculpture by artist Bruce Munro, made from fibre-optics and 50,000 CDs, called Blue Moon on a Platter (above), will rise, in an unearthly blue, from Waddesdon Manor’s amphitheatre in Buckinghamshire next week, like the biggest disco ball you’ve ever seen.
Another piece, Angel of Light, spreads its shining wings across the front lawn of the 19th-century French château-style house that was built by Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild in 1874.
Einojuhani Rautavaara’s music, Angel of Light, inspired the artist. Munro says: “After listening to the piece, I knew what I wanted to make: a time-lapse creation of a huge halo.” ”
