One of the 44 radio telescopes.
This station was established in 1953 by the Royal Observatory of Belgium to place the very first radio telescopes observing the sun there. In the 1960s, a solar interferometer was built with 44 radio telescopes, which were operated until 2001. Today, the station is still home to radio and optical instruments that study the sky, the sun, Earth's environment and its atmosphere.
Dit station werd opgericht in 1953 door de Koninklijke Sterrenwacht van België om er de allereerste radiotelescopen te plaatsen die de zon observeren. In de jaren ‘60 werd een zonne-interferometer gebouwd met 44 radiotelescopen, die werden uitgebaat tot in 2001. Vandaag is het station nog steeds de thuisbasis van radio- en optische instrumenten die de hemel, de zon, de omgeving van de aarde en haar atmosfeer bestuderen.

Just visited the Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias again (since it's just a few minutes walk away) and I still enjoy finding new angles!
This is the view from the Cambie Street Bridge in Vancouver, Canada looking east towards Science World.
From a kit from the 1970's that C's mom found in a drawer or closet, and then gave to E for Christmas this year. Still works!

Fire was undoubtedly one of our earliest conquests of Nature. Probably science was born with the discovery of fire.
Paleolithic peoples used their technological innovations such as making tools and the use of fire to change their physical environment. By working together, they found a way to survive. In this case obviously Paleolithic peoples played a crucial role in human history.
An evening walk in False Creek in downtown Vancouver Canada. Amazing what the iPhone can do handheld now.

Along the opposite direction from the Big Wheel is the Science Museum “Museum of Tomorrow”. It was closed when I arrived, although open later in the day. It was designed by Spanish neofuturistic architect Santiago Calatrava, who also designed the “City of Science” in Valencia. His architecture has been used as backdrops to quite a few science fiction films.
This picture is exactly as it was taken on the camera. I didn't add fake light highlights or even do auto levels.
Just a couple of shots to show the magnitude of the crowd yesterday for Earth Day Science March. Trump wants to defund the Environmental Protection Agency and has already loosened US Department of Agriculture (USDA) restrictions. In addition, there's been a growing laxation of what it means to have food qualified as organic. So, this effects the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat. Trump doesn't believe in alternative energy and would rather bring back increased oil drilling, coal and other pollutants. He doesn't believe climate change exists and this will not only effect those living in America but those living throughout the world. He wants to ignore sound scientific data in favor of his billionaire buddies at Exxon, for example.
The idea that climate change is a partisan issue at this point is alarming. This is the Earth we all live in. It's not just the children of liberals that will be affected by these policies. Trump's own children will have to struggle to survive because of the damage he is doing. And yet, he continues to show wrath towards this planet and everyone on it. Impeach Trump!

Living a few hours from Roswell, aliens tend to accumulate.
Dress and plastic alien were in the Blythecon Las Vegas goody bag, snow globe is from Roswell, and I made the knitted alien.
The morning Builder rolls along CPKC's Merriam Park Subdivision as it is just a couple of minutes away from its stop at Union Depot. I had been working this portion of the line a little bit at the time, and on this day chose to go for a shot with the Science Museum in the background. It was always a fun elementary school field trip to the Science Museum and maybe see a train, maybe.
I was able to get out after the monsoon for a few pictures. I was hoping for calmer water but averaging several exposures turned out ok.
Lotus plants (Nelumbo nucifera) grow in muddy water, but its leaves are surprisingly clean. When rain falls on lotus leaves, water beads up with a high contact angle. The water drops promptly roll off the leaves, collecting dirt along the way. The self-cleaning property exhibited by the leaves is known as the lotus effect. Though the lotus effect was known from ancient times, it was only after the introduction of the scanning electron microscope that its mechanism could be explained.
Now nanotechnologists are putting in efforts to develop applications based on the lotus effect, ranging from self-cleaning window glasses, paints, and fabrics, dew harvesting for use in irrigation and many more.
