Frankly, its embarrassing just how many takes it took me to get this shot. I originally wanted the gyroscope spinning on top of the books, but it kept spinning off by the time I'd lined up the camera and the flash. It also took an age to get the angle of the flash correct - it was attached to the hotshoe on the camera via a cable - no pop up flash on the 5DIII to fire a slave :(
I can't say I'm delighted with this, but after the effort that went into taking it, there's no way its not getting posted.
Park rangers explained the importance of native plants and gave free samples to these future gardeners.
The Russians invaded Science World and used it as their pavilion to promote the next winter Olympics, Sochi 2014, which they host.
Our teachers received professional development from trainers that came to us from the Carnegie Science Museum in Pittsburgh. The session had "hands on"activities and was quite interesting.
I was really impressed with their van and would love to get the chance to drive it around!!

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 Scout family of rockets were American launch vehicles designed to place small satellites into orbit around the Earth. The Scout multistage rocket was the first (and for a long time, the only) orbital launch vehicle to be entirely composed of solid fuel stages.
The original Scout (an acronym for Solid Controlled Orbital Utility Test system) was designed in 1957 at the NACA Langley center. Scout launch vehicles were used from 1961 until 1994. To enhance reliability the development team opted to use "off the shelf" hardware, originally produced for military programs. According to the NASA fact sheet:
"... the first stage motor was a combination of the Jupiter Senior and the Navy Polaris; the second stage came from the Army MGM-29 Sergeant; and the third and fourth stage motors were designed by Langley engineers who adapted a version of the Navy Vanguard."
The first successful orbital launch of a Scout, on February 16, 1961, delivered Explorer 9, a 7-kg satellite used for atmospheric density studies, into orbit.
A group of sixth grade girls from a Maryville Middle School science class visited Northwest's Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Nov. 30, 2012, as part of science video the class was producing. Here, Dr. Michael Hull, assistant professor of chemistry, is teaching the students how to use a glove box, which allows chemists to handle chemicals without any exposure to oxygen or moisture.

During an Arctic sunrise on board the U.S. NavyÕs attack submarine USS Pogy (SSN 647), Jay Simpkins (far left), a scientist with the Oregon State University, collects water samples, while Navy Lieutenant Junior Grade Mark Cronley (foreground) stands watch as a safety observer on boats deck.
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.

Wishful thinking. My 28-85/2.8 is broken. Santa's gift is supposed to be picking up the repair tab if it can be repaired. Here is the fill in lens as my representative gift shot earlier this year.
Light Science Magic.
There are a total of 5 shots in the set showing the slight variations of Black-on-black. The first 3 were shot on a black cloth(not velvet). The last 2 were on semi-glossy matboard.
Same as #4 except curved the silver reflector slighting out of frame in a semi-circle to reflect light onto lens cap for "TAMRON" name to be visible as well as maintain type of light from #4 shot. First shot where shadows start to show from reflector.
Salient features of the structure of SVV-001. (a) Subunit organization highlighting the important loop regions in VP1 (blue), VP2 (green), VP3 (red) and VP4 (yellow). (b) Organization of the above subunits in the assembled capsid. (c) Surface-rendered image of SVV-001 showing the most exposed residues in shades of yellow and the least in shades of blue. (d) Cutaway view showing the organization of RNA (magenta) in the SVV particle. Half of the protein subunits surrounding the RNA are shown as ribbons.

Viruses are small particles composed of protein and nucleic acid that are known for their ability to cause infectious diseases, such as the flu, and some cancers. What they are less known for is their ability to treat cancer. However, this possibility has been studied since the 1950s, when the first clinical trials investigating the use of viruses to treat cervical cancer were initiated. Research has progressed in this area and new viruses have been identified that can selectively kill tumor cells. One of these is the new picorna family virus, Seneca Valley Virus-001 (SVV-001), which is unique enough to be given its own genus. In recent work performed at the BioCARS 14-BM beamline at the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory under biohazard safety level 2 (BSL2) conditions, researchers elucidated the three-dimensional structure of this remarkable RNA virus. This work produced important information about a new viral genus and may provide answers to the question of how some viruses specifically recognize and kill cancer cells.

Emily's science homework was to bring into school something edible that represented a single cell. She baked sugar cookies and frosted them. The walnut is the nucleus. The chocolate chip is the mitochondria. The licorce is the endoplasmic reticulum. The pepermint piece is a vacuole, and the three nerds are ribosomes.
She loves to bake so she made enough for her whole class.
I had to take a picture of it on Pyrex, of course!
Contemporary builder’s model of the Orion Class super-dreadnought battleship HMS Monarch at the Science Museum, South Kensington, 15 November 2008.
The Orion Class battleships, designed by Philip Watts, were the first to be armed with 13.5” guns (instead of the 11” or 12” of previous dreadnoughts) and the first British dreadnoughts that could fire full broadsides of their main armament. As such they were described as super-dreadnoughts being so much more powerful than previous dreadnoughts.
Four Orions were completed in 1912. They had 25,000 shp coal-fired turbines engines, had a maximum speed of 21 kts (though some ships reached 22 kts on trials), measured 584 ft x 88 ft x 31 ft and had a displacement of 22,500 tons. They were armed with 10x13.5” (5x2), 16x4” (16x1), 3x21”TT (fixed singles). All fought in the Battle of Jutland 1916.
HMS Monarch was built by Armstrong Whitworth, launched at their Elswick yard in 1911 and completed in 1912. She was sunk as a target in 1925. Her sisters were scrapped until 1922-26.
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.
