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

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.

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.

Young people from across Europe came for a few days of science experiments and debates in the 1st "Young Europeans Science Parliament". Budding scientists from 29 countries discussed the use of stem cells, access to genetic information and personalised medicine. There were also workshops and presentations in the Parliament and the Royal Belgian Institute for Natural Sciences from 29 November - 1 December.

A ciência, assim como a arte, a partir do século XX se distanciou do humano, segundo alguns autores como Ortega y Gasset e Boaventura. Ciência e arte então se tornaram praticamente antônimos. Como reaproximar ciência, arte e homem?

INERTIAL FUSION ENERGY CONCEPT.
FUSION IS THE POWER SOURCE OF THE SUN AND STARS. IT OCCURS WHEN FORMS OF THE LIGHTEST ATOM, HYDROGEN, COMBINE TO MAKE HELIUM IN A VERY HOT (100 MILLION DEGREE CENTIGRADE) IONIZED GAS, OR PLASMA. TO ACHIEVE INERTIAL FUSION ENERGY POWERFUL LASERS OR PARTICLE BEAMS ARE FOCUSED ON A SMALL PELLET OR FUEL FOR FEW BILLIONTHS OF A SECOND. MAGNETIC FUSION ENERGY IS ANOTHER APPROACH TO FUSION ENERGY. DOE'S FUSION ENERGY SCIENCES PROGRAM LEADS THE NATION'S EFFORT IN THE STUDY OF PLASMA, THE FOURTH STATE OF MATTER, WHICH CONSTITUTES MOST OF THE VISIBLE UNIVERSE, AND IS AT THE CORE OF A FUSION POWER SYSTEM.
