The Hong Kong Science Park is a science park in Hong Kong, located in Pak Shek Kok, New Territories, on the boundary of Sha Tin District and Tai Po District. It is also next to the Chinese University of Hong Kong in Ma Liu Shui and is on the Tolo Harbour waterfront. It is an infrastructure that provides a knowledge-based and campus-like environment of 220,000 square metres where high-technology enterprises and talented people can converge to generate synergistic forces. It is designed to accommodate companies of all sizes and stages of development and to promote interaction and innovation at both local and global level.
香港科學園位於香港新界大埔區白石角，處於吐露港沿岸，鄰近香港中文大學。第一期發展佔地22公頃，第二期及第三期總樓面面積達330,000平方米。第二期已於2006年完工，第三期則預計於2011年或2012年完工。根據香港行政區劃，科學園東南面屬於沙田區。位置的重要性上，它位於中國大陸邊界和香港市區之間。與數碼港相似，同樣採用一個類似大學校園的低密度規劃，這是一個以高科技及應用科技（包括電子、生物科技、精密工程及訊息科技和電訊）為主題的研究基地。
John Glenn to Scott Carpenter: 'Godspeed'

When John Glenn soared into space as the first American in orbit, Scott Carpenter wished him bon voyage with three simple words: "Godspeed, John Glenn." Glenn bid farewell to his lifelong pal who died Thursday in the same way.
"Godspeed, Scott Carpenter --Great Friend," Glenn, the last remaining Mercury 7 astronaut, said in a statement issued by his spokesman on Friday. He added: "You are missed.
Carpenter died Thursday in a Denver hospice of complications from a September stroke. Carpenter, who lived in Vail, Colo., was 88.
In February 1962 Carpenter gave Glenn the historic send-off, "Godspeed John Glenn." Carpenter followed Glenn, becoming the second American in orbit, launching on May 24, 1962.
Glenn said that history will remember Carpenter as an explorer of the heavens and the seas.

Winchester Science Centre (previously known as INTECH) is a hands-on, interactive, science and technology centre located in Morn Hill, just outside the city of Winchester in Hampshire, England. Opened in 2002 after major grants from amongst others the Millennium Commission, IBM, SEEDA and Hampshire County Council it replaced an existing facility in a more functional building in Winchester.
The centre houses over 100 activities, all of which link in with the National Curriculum for schools. During term time it is used mainly by local schools and days out, while at week ends and holidays it attracts a wider audience.
The dome is now a state-of-the-art digital planetarium seating 176.
Winchester Science Centre offers a main exhibition area with 100 hands-on science exhibits, each of which has a curriculum linked sign on-site and a reference sheet available from the website. In addition Winchester Science Centre features a digital planetarium that offers a full-dome experience and a variety of live daily shows suitable both children and adults. The centre also offers school visits by their new mobile planetarium with shows that are both engaging and relevant to the curriculum.
The on-site education team (dressed in pink shirts) offer a variety of tailored workshops for primary and secondary level students within the Winchester Science Centre classrooms and out-reach is also offered. Workshops include 'Data logging', 'Parts of a flower', 'Electrical Conductors' and 'Explore your universe' as well as many other options. Winchester Science Centre are also proud to offer workshops for CAD/CAM in partnership with Techsoft.
The one-site workshop team make and maintain the majority of the exhibits and also are contracted by other science centres and schools to make bespoke pieces, such as the recently designed 'Stem-Cell Volcano'.
Winchester Science Centre is the Contract Holder for STEMNET in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. As Contract Holder, the Science Centre brokers relationships with over 700 trained STEM Ambassadors each of whom volunteer their time for free to secondary schools in the area. The Science Centre also offers educational advice to teachers.
The "After Dark", Space and Science Lectures are a popular addition to the programme and are tailored towards adults.
As well as all of this Winchester Science Centre also runs Singles Events and the venue is available to hire for private or corporate functions.
The Science Centre also has an on-site cafe facility called "The Hub".

As a child I loved looking at the covers and the illustrations within my dad's old science magazines. I didn't actually read any, just looked at the pictures. It's still absolutely inspirational stuff.

Photos from the March for Science in San Francisco, California, on April 22, 2017. Definitely the smartest signs of any protest I've ever seen.
Tried to get the Science World Jack O'Lantern again this year and was surprised my phone did better than my Dslr (not really but my phone has a much faster lens than I was using and also much wider depth of field) again I was pleasantly surprised by my phone.
come up to meet you tell you i'm sorry
you don' know how lovely you are
...I had to find you , tell you I NEED YOU and tell you I set you apart
tell me your secrets ,and nurse your cuestions
oh let's go back to the start
running in circles , coming in tails heads on a science apart
nobody said it was easy , it's such a shame for us to part
nobody said it was easy, no one ever said it would be this hard
oh teke me back to the start .
I was just guessing questions of science , science and progress
don't speaks as loud as my heart
AND TELL ME YOU LOVE ME, COME BACK AND HAUNT ME
The vivid colors we identify with a spectacular sunset are caused by different wavelengths emitted via solar radiation. Our eyes can only see a narrow range of the wavelengths emitted by the sun, which constitutes the visible spectrum. Each color we can identify corresponds to a particular wavelength, with reds having the longest wavelength and violet having the shortest wavelength. When light beams enter the atmosphere, they run into particles in the air, such as nitrogen and oxygen atoms. These atoms scatter the shortest light rays, resulting in the daytime sky looking distinctively blue. However, as dusk approaches, the Earth turns away from the sun, and the short blue rays are all scattered out before they can reach our eyes. The longer wavelengths of red and orange however, are not as scattered and then tend to dominate during this time. Sunsets that occur in the fall or winter (such as the one above) tend to be brighter and more dramatic because the air through which the light beams travel tends to be cleaner and dryer, resulting in less displacement of the light. One interesting thing to ponder is the idea that everything sees light differently. The sunset that humans see for example, is way different that the sunset that other animals see. Some animals can see ultraviolet rays, which would make a sunset appear much more colorful. The way various animals and organisms see and use light contribute greatly to the science of ecology and to the function of creatures on our planet.

Assignment for dailyshoot.com for 01/11/11: Make a photograph today that features or uses a liquid as a subject.
This isn't about art today, kids. Oh no. This is SCIENCE. This is the exact moment that Silly String ® morphs from its liquid form to its silly form. This has NEVER BEEN DOCUMENTED BEFORE.
And confirms, as suspected, that Silly String ® is faster than light.
Imagine my surprise when I found this bag stuck to the wall. Not by any conventional method but instead, I am told, by harnessing the power of a rare phenomenon known as SCIENCE.
