My thoughts moved toward the sky.
A recent German supercomputer estimates there are 500 billion galaxies. That means there could be a galaxy out there for every star in the Milky Way. I wondered about the insignificance of-it-all…
And then, the significance...
The scene spoke to me and in some way and challenged me. It sounded like a breeze through the pines and felt like a pat on the back, or maybe, a gentle push.
I was shooting with the sky. It was a beautiful, soulful conversation.

NNSA’s Sequoia supercomputer, housed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, is ready to shake out and fully develop its capabilities required to fulfill its national security missions, starting early next year.
And I thought the cabling under my desk at home was a tangle...
Seen at the Science Museum in London. (Apologies that the photo isn't better quality - in retrospect I probably should have tried the flash, but at that distance I don't know if it would have helped (and the N95 doesn't have an optical zoom).)

The MessagePad was the first series of personal digital assistant devices developed by Apple Computer (now Apple Inc.) for the Newton platform in 1993. Some electronic engineering and the manufacture of Apple's MessagePad devices was done in Japan by the Sharp Corporation. The devices were based on the ARM 610 RISC processor and all featured handwriting recognition software and were developed and marketed by Apple. The devices ran the Newton OS.

Retrocomputing (a portmanteau of retro and computing) is the use of early computer hardware and software today. Retrocomputing is usually classed as a hobby and recreation rather than a practical application of technology; enthusiasts often collect rare and valuable hardware and software for sentimental reasons. However some do make use of it.[1] Retrocomputing often gets its start when a computer user realizes that expensive fantasy systems like IBM Mainframes, DEC Superminis, SGI workstations and Cray Supercomputers have become affordable on the used computer market, usually in a relatively short time after the computers' era of use.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retrocomputing
Con il termine retrocomputing si indica una attività di "archeologia informatica" che consiste nel reperire, specialmente a costi minimi, computer di vecchie generazioni, che hanno rappresentato fasi importanti dell'evoluzione tecnologica, ripararli se sono danneggiati, metterli nuovamente in funzione e preservarli.
Though the construction of the Theory and Computer Sciences Building was announced in 2007, to me the interior feels very much like '60s brutalist construction. Which is not a critique at all; I'm rather fond of that style.
I love the concrete and sharp geometries here, along with the sand garden filling the inner courtyard spaces. The repeated vertical and horizontal lines help make the inside feel very modern, in keeping with the buildings purpose.
It houses Argonne's Blue Gene/Q supercomputer, among other things.
34 million computing hours a year. That's the processing power of the powerful high-performing supercomputer that was inaugurated on September 24 in Trieste, as an anticipation of Trieste Next. The project was developed by SISSA within an agreement with ICTP, and the machine is housed at the “old” SISSA headquarters in via Beirut 2-4. The inauguration provides an occasion to illustrate some applications of supercomputing in industry and science, and to present the new Master's in High Performance Computing, MHPC.
NEC has long manufactured the SX-line of vector machines even after everyone else had abandoned the vector market. Following the SX-9 is the SX-ACE, which happened to be on display opposite SDSC’s booth. This is a single rack of SX-ACE.

Latest version of M42 - and the Best! This one actually looks like the picture in my junior encyclopdia of space (as used by Holly - the supercomputer from Red Dwarf).
Still to fix - need to get the space a bit darker and reduce some of the noise banding, CA is also an issue as it's shot with a refractor.
This was 48 x 20 second exposures stacked with 20 flats and 20 darks. Tweaked in lightroom.
Now for the science bit. M42 is just one part of the larger structure known as the Orion Molecular Cloud, which contains several other nebulae (including the horsehead nebula). This is the remanant of a past supernova and is now forming new stars as the cloud collapses under gravity (don't worry this process takes a long time, it'll still be there tonight). The nebula is visible to the naked eye, even in moderatly light polluted skys. If you look to the south around 8ish (in UK!) you should be able to locate Orion's belt - three stars in a line around 45 degrees above the horizon - the nebula will be faint fuzzy patch just below these.
The Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG) Centennial Gala, held Friday, October 20, in Aberdeen was the culminating event of a year-long celebration of APG’s 100th Anniversary. Approximately 780 people attended the Cabaret-themed event, which featured live music, a casino, dancing, comedy, fireworks, acrobats and other performers, and an After-Party at the Speakeasy. Merritt Property, which manages the Aberdeen Corporate Park on route 22 next to the Target store, donated the use of the 90,000-square foot building for the event. U.S. Congressman Dutch Ruppersberger, MG Randy Taylor, local and state elected officials, and senior Army officials were in attendance, as were hundreds of members of the Harford and Cecil County communities.
The Gala was hosted by the APG Centennial Celebration Association, which is working to establish the APG Discovery Center in Aberdeen. This facility will house an interactive STEM educational space for learners of all ages to experience science and technology through hands-on exhibits and demonstrations.
During 2017, the APG community hosted over 150 events during 2017 to commemorative APG’s 100-year history. The Live Fire, the APG Memorial dedication, the Rosie the Riveters movie, exhibits at the college and libraries, historical talks and presentations, and Science Cafes.
Bravura Information Technologies was the presenting sponsor of the event. Additional funding was provided by Harford County Office of Economic Development, APG Federal Credit Union, SURVICE Engineering, Harford Community College, AFCEA, IRA, Association of Old Crows, Tenax Technologies, Northeastern Maryland Technology Council, Veteran Corps of America, Profile Partners, Leidos, Cray Supercomputers, CACI, ManTech, Jacobs, Adams Communication, Booz Allen, Camber, Jones Junction Greater Harford Committee, Signatech, Cecil College and many more businesses.

Parts of a UNIVAC computer system used at the US Air Force's Satellite Control Facility from 1967 to 1990. A real-time system, the UNIVAC 1232 is the military version of the commercial UNIVAC 490. It had a 30 bit word length and came with an initial 123 kilobytes of memory.
In the background is the Goodyear Massively Parallel Processor (MPP) cabinet, a massively parallel processing supercomputer system developed and used between 1979 and 1991. It took the unique (at the time) approach of increasing processing power by using thousands of simple processors rather than fewer highly complex models.
Seen in the Air and Space Museum, Washington DC.
