The California Science Center offers fun and informative permanent exhibits presented in interactive worlds. Through hands-on experiences in our galleries, you'll learn about human inventions and innovations, the life processes of living things and more. The Science Center also features fantastic special exhibits that change all the time, so visit often to find out what's new!
Pacific Science Center includes six acres of hands-on science fun, two IMAX theaters, Tropical Butterfly House, Live Science Stage shows, Discovery Carts, Laser Dome and much more.
I manually stitched together two pictures taken opening day, 6/18/2004; other obvious post-processing, but it really seemed other-worldly. How appropriate that it should be next to the Space Needle.

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.

It's a science building in a great location near to downtown Vancouver. With IMAX cinema and interesting machines and puzzle this place is a heaven for the kids they can enjoy their times and learn at the same time.
Nice diagram showing the difference between the scientific method and the faith method.

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.
