So nice I thought it deserved two shots.
You know a car has me in awe, when I actually bother to get out of the comfort and safety of my own car and take proper up close shots like this.
I had my gran in the car when I saw this, and she was quite surprised that I wanted to stop for photos. "Is it expensive?" she asked.

This is an old probe thing I made one day for some unknown reason. It looks vaguely like the weird probe-thingies from the original Clone Wars cartoon.

ARM Aerial Facility (AAF) scientist Jennifer Comstock cleans a probe on an instrument attached to the Gulfstream-159 (G-1) aircraft.
From June to October 2013, the U.S. Department of Energy’s Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility deployed the G-1 research aircraft above wildfires in the U.S. Pacific Northwest region, near Little Rock, Arkansas and in the vicinity of Memphis, Tennessee, as part of the Biomass Burning Observation Project (BBOP). The aircraft flew through smoke plumes from forest fires and agricultural field burns—types of “burning biomasses”—to measure various properties of aerosol particles soon after they form and as they change over time.

we've begun launch review today, will take most of this week to complete. Here's a launch image from the water tower
As the ship tumbled through the void, the onboard systems attempted an orderly shutdown. Cascading failures fragmented the efforts. Software dæmons regulating read/write access to the memory spools locked out other hardware, preserving whatever data was left after the kernel panic that had crashed the FTL. The odds of recovery were low, but not so slim that it couldn't be found when drifted through the Sol system in another 80,000 years.
This ship was hard-won out of a box of LEGO that had no sets more recent than the Aquanauts and not nearly as many space kits as I would've liked. Still, Ice Planet lends itself nicely to clean color pallettes and hinged structures.

Mars 3 was an unmanned space probe of the Soviet Mars program which spanned the years between 1960 and 1973. Mars 3 was launched nine days after its twin spacecraft Mars 2. The probes were identical spacecraft, each consisting of an orbiter and an attached
lander. After Mars 2 crash-landed on the martian surface, Mars 3 lander became the first spacecraft to attain soft landing on Mars.
Mars 3's descent module was released at 09:14 UT on December 2, 1971, 4 hours 35 minutes before reaching Mars. The descent module entered the Martian atmosphere at roughly 5.7 km/s.
After 14.5 seconds, at 13:52:25, transmission on both data channels stopped for unknown reasons and no further signals were received at Earth from the Martian surface. It is not known whether the fault originated with the lander or the communications relay on
the orbiter. The cause of the failure may have been related to the extremely powerful martian dust storm taking place at the time which may have induced a coronal discharge, damaging the communications system.
On April 11, 2013, NASA announced that the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) may have imaged the Mars 3 lander "debris field" on the surface of Mars. The HiRISE camera on the MRO took images of what may be the parachute, retrorockets, heat shield and
lander.The Mars 3 debris were found by amateur space enthusiasts rummaging through publicly available archived images.

The atmospheric entry probe part of a representative model of the twin Vega (Вега) spacecraft, part of the Soviet space programme. Vega 1 and 2 were launched on Proton rockets from Baikonur on 15 and 21 December 1984, respectively, heading for Venus, where they arrived on 11 and 15 June 1985, respectively.
Both Vega 1 and 2 deployed probes with designs similar to those of the Venera (Венера) series: both contained a surface lander and a balloon, contained within a spherical container (seen here). After a high speed atmospheric entry at 125km, parachutes were used to slow the probes down, with accelerations reaching hundreds of g. Release of the cap section at 64km altitude revealed the balloon package, after which the balloon was filled an operated at 54km altitude.
The bottom half of the shell was released and then the main chute, leaving the probe to fall on its own from an altitude of 47km for an hour to the surface, slowed purely by aerodynamic braking in the dense Venusian atmosphere. The Vega 1 probe operated for 20 minutes under surface conditions of 467˚C and 95 atmospheres: some of its surface experiments had been prematurely initiated at an altitude of about 18km by a very hard shock in the atmosphere. Vega 2's lander returned data for 56 minutes under conditions of 463˚C and 91 atmospheres.
The two carrier spacecraft then continued on to conduct flybys of Comet 1P/Halley on 6 and 9 March 1986, coming within 8890km and 8030km of the nucleus, respectively. They thus obtained images prior to the flyby of ESA's Giotto on 13 March, helping the latter to target its approach at 596km.

For the June Monthly build of Imperial Conquest.
This probe was used for spying on hostile planets. If any Rebel suspects were found they would be monitored for a few days and if necessary, would be silenced.
Construction on a new microscopy building at the Center for Nanoscale Materials has been completed and the center should be ready for occupancy by the end of fall 2009. Read more »

The first generation Probe was produced between 1989 and 1992 and Ford hoped the sports coupe would appeal to the British Capri buyer. An attempt was made to market the Probe in the UK as a Capri replacement. In reality it was nothing like the beloved Capri and was more like the Mazda on which it was based. The second generation Probe appeared in 1993 and became a slightly more familiar sight on British roads. The car had a short production life ending in 1997, and Probes are now few and far between.
It's Christmas season! and it's time to play! =D

SEM image of a HeLa cell connected to a DOPE+0.5% Liss-Rho-PE lipid block by a lipid nanotube manually-micromanipulated from the same block. Image was taken as an 80 second scan at a magnification of 2200 using a spot size of 35 mm, working distance of 10 mm, and accelerating voltage of 20 kV. Sample was prepared though fixation using OsO4 and glutaraldehyde, dehydration through an ethanol/water gradient, and finally gold sputter coating (~2 nm).
A lipid nanotube was withdrawn from an adhered lipid block and connected to a HeLa cell by micromanipulation using a glass microtip - the resulting structure was prepared for and imaged using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). SEM is a high resolution form of microscopy that probes samples with a focused electron beam, exciting atoms and using the resulting emitted electrons to gather topographical information. ¦ Image#1_171
