NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center Visitor Center in Greenbelt, Md. hosted a special Webb Family Science Night on Wednesday, July 25, 2012.
Participants partook in hands-on activities to see what light looks like after it passes through lenses. By putting one lens in front of another, they made a telescope. Although Webb is not a telescope that will use a lens to collect its light, participants were able to build a telescope of similar ability to that of Galileo’s.
This special Webb Family Science Night was a hands-on and inquiry-based program designed for middle school students and their families, intended to increase STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) engagement, interest, and understanding. The Webb Family Science Night was a collaboration between NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope and Goddard’s Office of Education. The educational materials supporting this event were donated by SPIE – the International Society for Photonics and Optics.

The U.S. NavyÕs attack submarine USS Pogy (SSN 647) returned to Hawaii, on Tuesday, November 12, after a 45-day research mission to the North Pole. The second of five planned deployments through the year 2000, Pogy embarked a team of researchers led by Mr. Ray Sambrotto of Columbia University. During the several thousand mile trek, the submarine collected data on the chemical, biological, and physical properties of the Arctic Ocean, and conducted experiments in geophysics, ice mechanics, pollution detection, and other areas. For the purposes of this voyage, a portion of the submarineÕs torpedo room was converted into laboratory space. However at no time was the ship ever removed as a front-line warship.

The second Christian Science church built in Chicago is the oldest that still offers services. Architect Solon S. Beman patterned this Beaux-Arts structure after his Merchant Tailors building from the World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893. It is built of Bedford limestone and granite. The church at 2700 N. Pine Grove Ave. was dedicated on Easter Sunday 1901.
NOTE: An application before the Zoning Committee on December 1, 2020, is seeking approval to put a 7-story, 26-unit residential building behind the church. The structure will be set back 26 feet from W. Wrightwood Avenue and 24 feet from N. Pine Grove Avenue, where it will have its entrance.
NOTE 2: Three existing walls of the Second Church of Christ Scientist are being prepared in January 2024 for integration into a new 6-story mixed-use structure. The collaboration between Ogden Partners and Booth Hansen aims to preserve a portion of the original Beaux-Arts facade designed by Solon S. Beman. The church will continue operations within the building, occupying more than 4,700 square feet of space on the ground floor. The revised plan for the residential component now includes 22 apartment units, reduced from the initially proposed 26.

From water sampling to ecosystem studies and trail maintenance, Union Mine High School students put their outdoor skills to the test at the Greenwood Creek River Access on December 5, 2017.
As part of a biannual class focusing on watersheds and ecosystems, students spent the morning in small groups rotating across the area, managed by the Bureau of Land Management in California. Jeff Horn, lead recreation planner for the BLM Mother Lode Field Office, helped oversee activities and provided a brief overview of the nearly 20,000 acres of public lands.
“Greenwood Creek River Access provides the public with access to the many outdoor recreation activities – like fishing, hunting, rafting, biking and horseback riding – that you would expect from such an amazing place,” Horn said.
Mother Lode, also known as Gold Country for its numerous mining districts, is a historic area along the western slope of the Sierra Nevada.
Students hiked a short distance to the South Fork of the American River, which offers renowned whitewater rafting and fishing opportunities. One group of students measured phosphate, nitrogen and pH levels in the river with a multiparameter water-testing meter, while others learned about the importance of public lands in preserving native ecosystems.
A third group assisted with the identification and removal of Scotch broom along nearby trails. The invasive shrub has damaged the habitats of native plants and animals in the area, and can be removed with a specialized tool. Students also repaired a split-rail fence and helped define trail boundaries using downed tree branches.
“I’ve never had the opportunity to come out here before,” said Chris, one of the students learning about trail maintenance, who said he looks forward to mountain biking in the area with his family.
Union Mine High School teachers emphasized the importance of applying science studies in a real-world environment, and allowing students to see how biologists and hydrologists conduct testing and experimentation.
“For some kids, they have never been out on the river; they have never been on trails and hikes, so this is just a good experience to get them out of their comfort zone and hopefully make them want to come back out,” said Chad McGowan, a biology teacher and Science Department chair at Union Mine High School.
This event is part of the BLM’s ongoing mission to sustain the health, diversity and productivity of America’s public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.

Only the brightest bricks around get to work at Rocket Science Inc! Visitors are greeted by a reception desk with sofas and flowers. On the second floor there's a state of the art water cooler. Really... that's all there is. On the third floor is the office floor and when work is over there's a sun deck with a professional telescope to watch the stars with. And the whole building is of course powered by solar cells.

Brookhaven National Laboratory Linear Accelerator (LINAC) was designed and built in the late 1960's as a major upgrade to the Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS) complex.
Its purpose is to provide accelerated protons for use at AGS facilities and the Brookhaven Linac Isotope Producer (BLIP). The Linac is capable of producing up to a 35 milliampere proton beam at energies up to 200 million electron-volts (MeV) for injection into the AGS Booster or for the activation of targets at the BLIP.
