Description: The intensity of the solar radiation between wavelengths 4000 A and 4100 A is shown in this spectrum at high resolution. The solar output shows numerous absorption lines, which result from the presence of a multitude of chemical elements, such as iron, in the Sun's atmosphere. Atomic transitions in a given element originate absorption features at specific wavelengths in the spectrum, thus allowing to identify the solar composition from the analysis of the Sun's light.

In Spring, 1995 I finally had the chance to see the Carnegie Science Center's model railroad.
According to the museum's website, " This beloved exhibit's story began in 1920 with a man named Charles Bowdish of Brookville, Pa. Originally a holiday display on the second floor of his house, it moved to the Buhl Planetarium in 1954, and ultimately found its final home at Carnegie Science Center in 1992."

I think this may actually be called Science City, but I'm not sure. It's a cluster of research buildings belonging to the university of Hawaii, at the summit of Haleakala, a dormant volcano on Maui.
Above the clouds and with the bright sunlight, I think it looks like a James Bond villain's hideout in the desert, or the setting of a Sci-Fi movie.
Wilson Hall, Fermilab's administrative building towers over it's prairie-like surroundings near sunset on a cloudy December day. The building is named after the lab's first director, Robert Rathbun Wilson - also the building's designer. Wilson Hall was based off of St. Pierre's Cathedral in Beauvais, France,
Set Description: For fun, myself and a group of friends took a grade-school like field trip of Fermilab, the nation's biggest particle physics laboratory and home of the Tevatron particle accelerator. Here are some photos.

Date 1509
Description: The modern history of the golden ratio starts with Luca Pacioli's Divina Proportione of 1509, which captured the imagination of artists, architects, scientists, and mystics with the properties, mathematical and otherwise, of the golden ratio.

The new science building on the Baylor campus. This building is amazing. Outside there is a little man-made creek running along side the building. Inside, the building looks like an office building mixed with a university.
EMI brain scanner, installed at Atkinson Morley's Hospital, Wimbledon in1971, by EMI, Hayes, Middlesex. This brain scanner, designed by Godfrey Hounsfield at EMI, was the first production model with which the first trials on patients were undertaken in 1971. These established CT (computerised tomography) scanning as a key imaging technology, particularly for the brain. The CT scanner was a runaway success: by 1977 there were 1130 machines installed across the world. The technique continues to be popular, but the more recent technology of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is now being used for many of the diagnostic tasks previously assigned to CT.

students took part in the Advanced Fire Science Camp and through hands-on experience learned how to work with fire equipment, put out fires, clear rooms, and the importance of staying hydrated at the scene of a fire.

April 30, 2022 - NEMO Science Museum designed by Italian architect Renzo Piano and completed in 1997. "Piano’s striking, copper-green design helped the NEMO Science Museum to become one of the most recognizable buildings in Amsterdam. Situated on top of a tunnel on the city’s eastern docks, the building appears to rise dramatically out of the water. Piano felt Amsterdam was lacking a piazza overlooking the city, and designed the rooftop of the building to afford visitors such a view. Since 2013, the NEMO rooftop has featured a fully-functioning garden and has become a tourist attraction of its own accord."
