Tartaric acid, dissolved in water with pH-indicating crystal violet, forms these beautiful images as crystals grow out of a supersaturated aqueous solution generated by evaporation of water. Originally yellow in the low-pH aqueous environment, the crystal violet changes colors as it becomes embedded in the crystals. The growth process can be watched live under the microscope and demonstrates complex phenomena of crystal formation such as nucleation, diffusion-limited growth, and formation of grain boundaries.

DR JAY PETERSEN ADJUSTS THE LARGE GONI-OMETER INSTALLED IN A SPECIALLY SHIELDED CAVE OF THE A W WRIGHT NUCLEAR - YALE.
THE CAVE IS UNDER 20 FEET OF EARTH AND HAS 3 FOOT WALLS, FLOOR AND CEILING OF A SPECIAL CONCRETE CONTAINING NONE OF THE COMMON NATURALLY RADIOACTIVE SUBSTANCES (E.G. THORIUM AND POTASSIUM) SO THAT THE NORMAL RADIATION BACKGROUND LEVEL IS LESS THAN ONE THOUSANDTH OF THAT IN A TYPICAL RESIDENCE. THE PROJECTILE BEAM FROM THE ACCELERATOR ENTERS FROM THE RIGHT, AND PASSES THROUGH THE TARGET UNDER STUDY IN THE CENTRAL HEMISPHERICAL CHAMBER BEFORE EXITING TO THE LOWER LEFT AND BEING STOPPED IN AN UNDERGROUND BEAM DUMP OUTSIDE OF THE CAVE. ONE OF THE LARGE, COMPUTER CONTROLLED GAMMA RADIATION DETECTORS IS SHOWN ON ITS OVERHEAD MOUNT TO THE LEFT OF DR. PETERSEN, A NUMBER OF SUCH DETECTORS MAY BE USED SIMULTANEOUSLY UNDER ON-LINE COMPUTER CONTROL IN THE MEASUREMENT OF CHARACTERISTIC RADIATION PATTERNS FROM THE TARGET NUCLEI UNDER STUDY FOLLOWING THEIR STIMULATION BY THE PROJECTILES IN THE BEAM.

Kuiper belt: ...is a region of the Solar System beyond the planets extending from the orbit of Neptune (at 30 AU [Astronomical units]) to approximately 55 AU from the Sun. It is similar to the asteroid belt, although it is far larger—20 times as wide and 20–200 times as massive. Like the asteroid belt, it consists mainly of small bodies, or remnants from the Solar System's formation. While the asteroid belt is composed primarily of rock and metal, the Kuiper belt objects are composed largely of frozen volatiles (termed "ices"), such as methane, ammonia and water. It is home to at least three dwarf planets – Pluto, Haumea and Makemake.
Scattered disc: ...is a distant region of the Solar System that is sparsely populated by icy minor planets, a subset of the broader family of trans-Neptunian objects. The scattered disc objects have orbital eccentricities ranging as high as 0.8, inclinations as high as 40°, and perihelia greater than 30 astronomical units. These extreme orbits are believed to be the result of gravitational "scattering" by the gas giants, and the objects continue to be subject to perturbation by the planet Neptune. While the nearest distance to the Sun approached by scattered objects is about 30–35 AU, their orbits can extend well beyond 100 AU. This makes scattered objects "among the most distant and cold objects in the Solar System". The innermost portion of the scattered disc overlaps with a torus-shaped region of orbiting objects known as the Kuiper belt, but its outer limits reach much farther away from the Sun and farther above and below the ecliptic than the belt proper.
Because of its unstable nature, astronomers now consider the scattered disc to be the place of origin for most periodic comets observed in the Solar System...
Formation of the Kuiper belt and Scattered disc?: The scattered disc is still poorly understood: no model of the formation of the Kuiper belt and the scattered disc has yet been proposed that explains all their observed properties.
According to contemporary models, the scattered disc formed when Kuiper belt objects (KBOs) were "scattered" into eccentric and inclined orbits by gravitational interaction with Neptune and the other outer planets. The amount of time for this process to occur remains uncertain. One hypothesis estimates a period equal to the entire age of the Solar System; a second posits that the scattering took place relatively quickly, during Neptune's early migration epoch.
Models for a continuous formation throughout the age of the Solar System illustrate that at weak resonances within the Kuiper belt (such as 5:7 or 8:1), or at the boundaries of stronger resonances, objects can develop weak orbital instabilities over millions of years. The 4:7 resonance in particular has large instability. KBOs can also be shifted into unstable orbits by close passage of massive objects, or through collisions. Over time, the scattered disc would gradually form from these isolated events...Modern theories indicate that neither Uranus nor Neptune could have formed in situ beyond Saturn, as too little primordial matter existed at that range to produce objects of such high mass. Instead, these planets, and Saturn, may have formed closer to Jupiter, but were flung outwards during the early evolution of the Solar System, perhaps through exchanges of angular momentum with scattered objects. Once the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn shifted to a 2:1 resonance (two Jupiter orbits for each orbit of Saturn), their combined gravitational pull disrupted the orbits of Uranus and Neptune, sending Neptune into the temporary "chaos" of the proto-Kuiper belt. As Neptune traveled outward, it scattered many trans-Neptunian objects into higher and more eccentric orbits... - enWikipedia
In another portion of the abandoned school in Pine Grove Louisiana we found one classroom that still resembled it's original functioning design. The Science Lab. Valve mounts on the desktops for gas tubes that can connect to bunsen burners, small wash sinks on each island/workspace for cleaning up or rescuing the incidental burn moment. It was a surreal site to see.
Books still littered the lab, some open on the table tops to pages of experiments and exercises published around 1982. All the jars, bottles, and beakers still present had cultivated a white milky film making all the glass look frosted. Part of me wanted to take one, it filtered light so well, but the reality is it's probably toxic and the boy in me was squelched by the voice of a current father who wouldn't dare let my own children play with it, so my inner child gets corrected as well.
Ultimately this room made me think about post-apocalyptic movie scenes of the future. Is this what a classroom would look like months after someone dropped the nuclear bomb hundreds of miles away? I hope no one ever has to know that, again.
