Time to get back into some of my street photography. This vignette was found while observing a protest march for science in Manhattan last Summer. Image made with my Olympus OM-D e-M1ii with the 12-40mm f2.8 Pro lens.

Along the opposite direction from the Big Wheel is the Science Museum “Museum of Tomorrow”. It was closed when I arrived, although open later in the day. It was designed by Spanish neofuturistic architect Santiago Calatrava, who also designed the “City of Science” in Valencia. His architecture has been used as backdrops to quite a few science fiction films.
Just a couple of shots to show the magnitude of the crowd yesterday for Earth Day Science March. Trump wants to defund the Environmental Protection Agency and has already loosened US Department of Agriculture (USDA) restrictions. In addition, there's been a growing laxation of what it means to have food qualified as organic. So, this effects the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat. Trump doesn't believe in alternative energy and would rather bring back increased oil drilling, coal and other pollutants. He doesn't believe climate change exists and this will not only effect those living in America but those living throughout the world. He wants to ignore sound scientific data in favor of his billionaire buddies at Exxon, for example.
The idea that climate change is a partisan issue at this point is alarming. This is the Earth we all live in. It's not just the children of liberals that will be affected by these policies. Trump's own children will have to struggle to survive because of the damage he is doing. And yet, he continues to show wrath towards this planet and everyone on it. Impeach Trump!

Ontario Science Centre is a science museum in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, near the Don Valley Parkway about 11 kilometres northeast of downtown on Don Mills Road just south of Eglinton Avenue East.
While scanning the sky to chart a billion stars in our Milky Way galaxy, ESA’s Gaia satellite is also sensitive to celestial bodies closer to home, and regularly observes asteroids in our Solar System.
This view shows the orbits of more than 14 000 known asteroids (with the Sun at the centre of the image) based on information from Gaia’s second data release, which was made public in 2018.
The majority of asteroids depicted in this image, shown in bright red and orange hues, are main-belt asteroids, located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter; Trojan asteroids, found around the orbit of Jupiter, are shown in dark red.
In yellow, towards the image centre, are the orbits of several tens of near-Earth asteroids observed by Gaia: these are asteroids that come to within 1.3 astronomical units (AU) to the Sun at the closest approach along their orbit. The Earth circles the Sun at a distance of 1 AU (around 150 million km) so near-Earth asteroids have the potential to come into proximity with our planet.
Most asteroids that Gaia detects are already known, but every now and then, the asteroids seen by ESA's Milky Way surveyor do not match any existing observations. This is the case for the three orbits shown in grey in this view: these are Gaia’s first asteroid discoveries.
The three new asteroids were first spotted by Gaia in December 2018, and later confirmed by follow-up observations performed with the Haute-Provence Observatory in France, which enabled scientists to determine their orbits. Comparing these informations with existing observations indicated the objects had not been detected earlier.
While they are part of the main belt of asteroids, all three move around the Sun on orbits that have a greater tilt (15 degrees or more) with respect to the orbital plane of planets than most main-belt asteroids.
The population of such high-inclination asteroids is not as well studied as those with less tilted orbits, since most surveys tend to focus on the plane where the majority of asteroids reside. But Gaia can readily observe them as it scans the entire sky from its vantage point in space, so it is possible that the satellite will find more such objects in the future and contribute new information to study their properties.
Alongside the extensive processing and analysis of Gaia’s data in preparation for subsequent data releases, preliminary information about Gaia’s asteroid detections are regularly shared via an online alert system so that astronomers across the world can perform follow-up observations. To observe these asteroids, a 1-m or larger telescope is needed.
Once an asteroid detected by Gaia has been identified also in ground-based observations, the scientists in charge of the alert system analyse the data to determine the object’s orbit. In case the ground observations match the orbit based on Gaia’s data, they provide the information to the Minor Planet Center, which is the official worldwide organization collecting observational data for small Solar System bodies like asteroids and comets.
This process may lead to new discoveries, like the three asteroids with orbits depicted in this image, or to improvements in the determination of the orbits of known asteroids, which are sometimes very poorly known. So far, several tens of asteroids detected by Gaia have been observed from the ground in response to the alert system, all of them belonging to the main belt, but it is possible that also near-Earth asteroids will be spotted in the future.
A number of observatories across the world are already involved in these activities, including the Haute-Provence Observatory, Kyiv Comet station, Odessa-Mayaki, Terskol, C2PU at Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur and Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network. The more that join, the more we will learn about asteroids – known and new ones alike.

The morning Builder rolls along CPKC's Merriam Park Subdivision as it is just a couple of minutes away from its stop at Union Depot. I had been working this portion of the line a little bit at the time, and on this day chose to go for a shot with the Science Museum in the background. It was always a fun elementary school field trip to the Science Museum and maybe see a train, maybe.
An evening walk in False Creek in downtown Vancouver Canada. Amazing what the iPhone can do handheld now.

Lotus plants (Nelumbo nucifera) grow in muddy water, but its leaves are surprisingly clean. When rain falls on lotus leaves, water beads up with a high contact angle. The water drops promptly roll off the leaves, collecting dirt along the way. The self-cleaning property exhibited by the leaves is known as the lotus effect. Though the lotus effect was known from ancient times, it was only after the introduction of the scanning electron microscope that its mechanism could be explained.
Now nanotechnologists are putting in efforts to develop applications based on the lotus effect, ranging from self-cleaning window glasses, paints, and fabrics, dew harvesting for use in irrigation and many more.

Covid-19 still has this Marine Science Center Closed. This is the craziest thing I have ever lived through. When will this end..??
Smash the "L" key to enlarge, then you can read the closed sign on the building.
