The Exploring Earth Science Teacher Workshop 2017 took place over August 2nd and 3rd. Participating teachers spent two days in Shenandoah National Park learning and participating in activities around the theme "Shenandoah Salamander: Climate Change Casualty or Survivor."
This program is supported by a generous donation from the Shenandoah National Park Association and the Shenandoah National Park Trust.
These photos were taken March 18, 2015, at a GoMRI/Sea Grant oil spill science seminar in Point Clear, Alabama.
So i took Bob's suggestion, and i started messing around with "split toning" and i have to admit, i like the affect it gives to photos. I took this photo in science class. Were learning about the elements.
Near the end of the summer, I was asked by the publishers of Popular Science magazine to produce a visualization piece that explored the archive of their publication. PopSci has a history that spans almost 140 years, so I knew there would be plenty of material to draw from. Working with Mark Hansen, I ended up making a graphic that showed how different technical and cultural terms have come in and out of use in the magazine since it's inception.

Took the boy to the Museum of Science on Saturday. At the Human Body exhibit, a young woman was showing a heart / lung system. At first I thought it was plastic, but it turned out to be the heart and lungs of a sheep.
Paying a visit to California Science Center on Saturday, 13 October 2012, as I await its latest spacecraft arrival, Space Shuttle Endeavour, scheduled for the evening. (As it would turn out, the Space Shuttle would not arrive until midday the next day.)
California Science Center already has other key American manned spacecraft, and adding Endeavour would very nicely complement the existing collection.
In front is an Apollo command module; intended to be Apollo 18 and flown to the moon in 1973, it instead became a spare when Apollo was terminated after Apollo 17, and it was launched on a smaller Saturn 1B rocket in 1975 for docking with a Russian Soyuz spacecraft. At the termination of the Apollo program, there were three spare Saturn V rockets and Apollo spacecraft, that would've allowed three extra trips to the moon; one of the surplus Saturn Vs was used to launch the Skylab space station, and the other two Apollo - Saturn V combinations are preserved at Johnson Space Center in Houston and Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Just behind the Apollo is the Gemini 11 capsule. Smaller than the Apollo, it had room for two astronauts, who lived aboard for two days; even the act of standing up would have required the opening of a hatch and a spacewalk.
Behind the Gemini, and not visible, is a single-passenger Mercury capsule. This museum's Mercury is the Mercury-Redstone 2, which made a 16-minute suborbital space flight in 1961 with a chimpanzee on board, in preparation for a human flight. While this was not the first spaceship to fly with a live animal on board (the Soviets had Sputnik II, with a dog on board, in 1958), it was the first spaceship to bring that animal back alive (Sputnik II had no provisions for returning the dog to Earth alive - the dog died in orbit).
Dreyfuss + Blackford Architecture’s design for the Powerhouse Science Center re-envisions a historic riverfront structure as a hub for science education, exploration and promotion in the City of Sacramento. On the banks of the Sacramento River, the Science Center grows out from an abandoned power station building. As a principal component of the Riverfront activation, the Powerhouse Science Center anchors Robert T. Matsui Waterfront Park and borders the southern terminus of the 32-mile American River Bike Trail.
Vacant for over half a century, the structure undergoes a complete historic rehabilitation and the construction of a new floor level inside. A new two-story addition projects from the east side, containing a lobby, classrooms, offices and a cafe. A 110-seat planetarium is prominently on display with a zinc-clad hemispheric dome rising above the building’s mass. As representation of our place in the universe, the facade and building mass is sectioned by multiple planes, creating continuous vector lines that extend across the building and site. From satellites to world landmarks, the lines form connections with local and global points of interest.
The original PG&E Power Station B was designed in 1912 in the Beaux Arts Style by architect Willis Polk and was formally closed in 1954. It is on the National Register of Historic Places, California Register of Historic Places and the Sacramento Register of Historic & Cultural Resources. The Powerhouse Science Center is designed to achieve a USGBC LEED Rating of Silver.
The Microgravity Science Glovebox located inside the International Space Station's U.S. Destiny laboratory module. ESA astronaut Matthias Maurer posted these images to his social media on 27 April 2022 with the caption:
From smartphones 📱 to aircraft ✈️, alloys can be found nearly everywhere. With the Transparent Alloys (CETSOL) experiments, we are researching various metal alloys on the International Space Station, especially with regards to heat and mass transfer processes, which are often influenced by gravity on Earth. Metals are heated in our space furnace at temperatures high as 880° C 🔥 to study microstructures during the solidification of metallic alloys. This research helps in the development of lightweight, high-performance materials that can be used on Earth and in the future of space exploration 🌎🚀
Like many of my other experiments on the Space Station, I will leave this one in the safe hands of my colleague Samantha, who was launched with Crew-4 this morning to join us on the ISS, and will continue them during her #MissionMinerva 💪

The Science Carnival is sponsored by the CSU Channel Islands science departments under the leadership of Dr. Phil Hampton, Professor of Chemistry. This annual event first started in Fall 2009 with approximately 250 preschool through eighth (PK-8) grade students attending the event. Over 2200 PK-8 students and their families attended the 2016 Science Carnival.

i love science. this dress has stars and planets and galaxies on it. i think it was made for me. i'm not sure if i like this though. i have a lot of different edits of this. i think i like this the best. idk. i might put a texture or something on it. what do you think?

At one time going to the moon seemed like Science Fiction. The rest is history! This Moon is a night light.

Engraved vignette from title page of Christopher Scheiner's Rosa Ursina, a book on sunspots published in 1630. Bear (ursa) and rose (which elsewhere symbolizes the sun) were derived from the name and heraldic insigne of the Duke of Orsini, who sponsored the work. Astronomer-bear in upper chamber projects an image of the sun and sunspots on a card, illustrating Scheiner's invention of the helipscope. Drawings of the sun made in this way allow a modem reconstruction of the 17th century rotation rate of the sun. See page 824. [By permission of the Houghton Library, Harvard University]

Abstract
The character of solar rotation has been examined for two periods in the early 17th century for which detailed sunspot drawings are available: A.D. 1625 through 1626 and 1642 through 1644. The first period occurred 20 years before the start of the Maunder sunspot minimum, 1645 through 1715; the second occurred just at its commencement. Solar rotation in the earlier period was much like that of today. In the later period, the equatorial velocity of the sun was faster by 3 to 5 percent and the differential rotation was enhanced by a factor of 3. The equatorial acceleration with declining solar activity is in the same sense as that found in recent Doppler data. It seems likely that the change in rotation of the solar surface between 1625 and 1645 was associated with the onset of the Maunder Minimum.

"Academy of Sciences edifice was built after World War II, between 1953 and 1956, as a gift from the workers and peasants of the other Soviet republics to the Latvian people and also to mark the borders of Stalin's empire..." Wiki.

I've recently joined the Council of Science Editors, and just got my first back issues of the journal a few days ago. Woo hoo!
(I've also joined the European Association of Science Editors, but it'll take a while longer to get my back issues.)
