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."
One space lab, five spacecraft, 10 years of success. Nearly a decade ago, the Columbus laboratory set sail for humanity’s new world in space.
Shortly afterwards, the first Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) arrived at the International Space Station as the most reliable and complex spacecraft ever built in Europe.
The event was a unique opportunity to re-live some exciting milestones, connect live to the Station and look into space exploration plans.
The larger Columbus family of planners, builders, scientists, support teams and astronauts gathered in ESTEC, the Netherlands on February 7 2018 to celebrate the past, present and future of Europe’s major contributions to the Station.

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.

"Große Themen brauchen viele Köpfe", dies beschreibt Citizen Science wohl am besten und ist eine Wissenschaftsmethode, welche die Zusammenarbeit von Forscherinnen und Forschern mit der interessierten Bevölkerung beschreibt.
Wie kann gemeinsame Forschung von Bürgerinnen und Bürgern sowie Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern funktionieren?
Dieser Frage und noch vielem mehr in diesem Zusammenhang wurde im Rahmen der ersten Salzburger Citizen Science Konferenz am 16. Februar 2016 auf der Edmundsburg nachgegangen.

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.
The Jungle Book (1894) is a collection of stories by the English author Rudyard Kipling. Most of the characters are animals such as Shere Khan the tiger and Baloo the bear, though a principal character is the boy or "man-cub" Mowgli, who is raised in the jungle by wolves. The stories are set in a forest in India; one place mentioned repeatedly is "Seonee" (Seoni), in the central state of Madhya Pradesh.
A major theme in the book is abandonment followed by fostering, as in the life of Mowgli, echoing Kipling's own childhood. The theme is echoed in the triumph of protagonists including Rikki-Tikki-Tavi and The White Seal over their enemies, as well as Mowgli's. Another important theme is of law and freedom; the stories are not about animal behaviour, still less about the Darwinian struggle for survival, but about human archetypes in animal form. They teach respect for authority, obedience, and knowing one's place in society with "the law of the jungle", but the stories also illustrate the freedom to move between different worlds, such as when Mowgli moves between the jungle and the village. Critics have also noted the essential wildness and lawless energies in the stories, reflecting the irresponsible side of human nature.
The Jungle Book has remained popular, partly through its many adaptations for film and other media. Critics such as Swati Singh have noted that even critics wary of Kipling for his supposed imperialism[1] have admired the power of his storytelling.[1] The book has been influential in the scout movement, whose founder, Robert Baden-Powell, was a friend of Kipling's.[2] Percy Grainger composed his Jungle Book Cycle around quotations from the book.
