I only had 2 hours here this visit,so I just managed to capture the ground floor.
The Science Museum is one of three major museums on Exhibition Road in South Kensington, London. It was founded in 1857 and today is one of the city's major tourist attractions, attracting 2.7 million visitors annually.
Like other publicly funded national museums in the United Kingdom, the Science Museum does not charge visitors for admission. Temporary exhibitions, however, may incur an admission fee. It is part of the Science Museum Group, having merged with the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester in 2012.
Science Night at Jefferson Farm and Garden took place Thursday, June 24th, at the Research Center in Columbia. The event focused on pollinators.

This ain't no weather station. The anemometer -- measuring wind speeds in front of St. Peter's basilica. this helps the Vatican police and the Swiss guards -- the safe wind speed levels when a mass is scheduled at the square.
Science and Religion, if you master the former and keep your faith in the latter -- you can end up being invincible.

The School of Sciences at Stevenson University hosted a research poster session on January 16, 2014 to display the work students did on their various topics. Students, faculty, staff and visitors were able to see the great work Stevenson's students do to further their education
SCIENCE!
I love looking at photos with supersuper high shutter speeds (1/1000 sec in this case). That tiny fraction of a second contains an entire world of things that happen so fast we don't even realize they happened at all.
The photo on the left, for instance, when the fountain is just forming. You can see a stream of Diet Coke trailing out of the paper tube we used to drop the Mentos into the bottle. In addition, There's still some actually coming out of the end of the tube, probably propelled only by inertia even after the tube's been pulled away.
And then the photo on the right. I just love the shapes that formed in the fountain. One would think it might just turn into a spray or come apart, but it clearly stays in a whole bunch of little spherical orbs of deliciousness as well as a giant, undulating snake of tooth decay.
VIEW OF THE HTML'S CENTRAL CORE, INCLUDING THE FRONT ENTRY-WAY AND COLUMNS FOR THE SECOND FLOOR OF THE CORE STRUCTURE.
THE HIGH TEMPERATURE MATERIALS LABORATORY (HTML) BEING CONSTRUCTED AT DOE'S OAK RIDGE NATIONAL LABORATORY WILL SERVE AS THE FOCAL POINT FOR A MULTIDISCIPLINARY STAFF INVESTIGATING CERAMICS WHICH HAVE POTENTIAL FOR HIGH-TEMPERATURE STRUCTURAL APPLICATION, SUCH AS IN ADVANCED DIESEL ENGINES, TURBINE BLADES, AND OTHER TRANSPORTATION AND ENERGY GENERATION SYSTEMS. IT WILL CONTAIN STATE-OF-THE-ART EQUIPMENT FOR CORRELATING THE MICROSTRUCTURE AND MICROCHEMISTRY OF MATERIALS WITH THEIR PHYSICAL AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES. THE TWO-LEVEL, 64,500 SQUARE-FOOT HTML WILL ALSO FUNCTION ASA USER FACILITY FOR INDUSTRIAL AND UNIVERSITY RESEARCH COMMUNITIES. OF THE 49 LABORATORIES IN THE HTML, 13 WILL COMPRISE USER CENTERS FOR ELECTRON OPTICS, HIGH-TEMPERATURE X-RAY DIFFRACTION, PHYSICAL PROPERTIES, AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES.

Lung cancer is by far the leading cause of cancer death for both men and women. More people die of lung cancer than of colon, breast, and prostate cancers combined. The average lifetime chance that a man will develop lung cancer is about 1 in 13. For a woman it is 1 in 16. These numbers include both smokers and non-smokers. For smokers the risk is much higher, while for non-smokers the risk is lower.

D+B office tour to observe construction progress on the historic building and the assembly of the tilt-up panels for the new addition which will house the Planetarium dome.

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.

This map shows the route driven by NASA's Curiosity Mars rover from the location where it landed in August 2012 to its location in early March 2016, approaching a geological waypoint called "Naukluft Plateau."
Curiosity departed the "Gobabeb" waypoint, where it scooped samples from a sand dune for analysis, on Feb. 3, 2016, with a drive during the 1,243rd Martian day, or sol, of the rover's work on Mars.
The base image for the map is from the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. North is up. Bagnold Dunes form a band of dark, wind-blown material at the foot of Mount Sharp.
Author: Dmitri Mendeleev
Date: 1891
Description: A table showing the periodicity of the properties of many chemical elements, from the first English edition of Dmitrii Mendeleev's Principles of Chemistry (1891, translated from the Russian fifth edition). It is worth noting that the date, the presence of Gallium and the presence of Germanium this table indicate that it is not his original table. Thus it shows well his pattern recognition process, but not that he predicted the existence of Ga and Ge.

I'm so far behind, the one time she gives us a free pass I go ahead and do it. Am I silly, or just contrary.

The first recipient of the residency staged under the auspices of the Art & Science Network is MarÃa Ignacia Edwards (CHL). She was selected from among the 140+ applicants from 40 countries and will be spending her residency at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in Chile and at the Ars Electronica Futurelab in Austria. Picture is showing MarÃa Ignacia Edwards during her pre-visit in Chile, taking notes at the VLT in Paranal.

AT OAK RIDGE NATIONAL LABORATORY , AS THE SUN RISES OVER EASTERN EUROPE, THE INSTANTANEOUS NET ECOSYSTEM EXCHANGE OF CARBON DIOXIDE IS SHOWN IN THE EASTERN HEMISPHERE.
Strong uptake is shown in green-to-white colors and is strongest in the tropics. A net release of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere is shown in red-to-white colors and strongest over the Congo, where the sun is not shining. This image was produced from a Carbon-Land Model Intercomparison Project simulation performed as part of SciDAC2 project on National Center for Computational Sciences supercomputers.
