Fermilab Tevatron
It's the end of an era at Fermilab as their Tevatron particle collider is going offline as you read this. (View the live feed here.)

It's the end of a great run of American scientific experimentation. The Reader's Sam Worley has an great cover story of the Tevatron here. Chicago Magazine's Whet Moser also weighs in with his usual detail and depth. And WBEZ's Clever Apes chimes in with their own cheeky post-mortem.
