Once the main filling station in the area, even the need for gasoline couldn't keep it alive, although the nice metal roof tells you it lasted longer than most businesses in town

A view from the Gravity Bar in the Guinness Storehouse, in Dublin.
Close inspection of the Gravity Wheel reveals the logo for the one-time Epcot attraction Horizons affixed to the hub of the wheel. Horizons, which was located on the site of Mission: SPACE, featured a look at plausible future habitats, including ... space!

Marcus McInnes of pix.ie and Lisa Fitzsimons from The Guinness Storehouse organised a photowalk around the Storehouse early on Saturday morning before it was open to the public. This is an amazing place, the most visited attraction in Ireland with over a million visitors per year. Great opportunity to take a few snaps, you can read all about it HERE.
Please take a moment and show a bit of local Irish support for both the Storehouse and pix.ie by visiting the link above.
Thanks,
Hugh
Honeymoon pic in Bora Bora, drinking beer, reading GR... did i mention its also just before the divorce as well ;)
The attraction queue contains several items and commemorative plaques from past, present and fictional future space missions. Among the items on display are props from the 2000 film Mission to Mars, including the rotating "gravity wheel" from the predecessor X-1 spacecraft, a model of which hangs from the ceiling

"Gravity":
(6*(1+2))*(1+6)*20 = 2520
I set out to construct this object by seeing what the largest number of 2-layer hexagons I could use for the faces of an icosahedron was with my current magnet count. That turns out to be 7, which can be arranged nicely with one in the middle and 6 around it. I then played around with various ways of folding those larger hexagons up, and arrived at this.
It holds together reasonably well, but gravity pulls it down so that it's a bit squat when sitting on the table.
In other news, the pictures I took a few days ago of the soft truncated dodecahedron I made a video of didn't turn out, since the camera was unexpectedly in fixed focus mode. I might remake it some time if people would like to see some better pictures of it.

Gravity, is working against me. And Gravity, wants to bring me down.
Oh, I've never known what makes this man. With all the love that this heart can stand.
Dream of ways to throw it all away.
Whoa, Gravity is working against me. And Gravity, it wants to bring me down.
Oh, twice as much ain't twice as good. And can't sustain like one half could.
It's wanting more that's gonna set me to my knees.

Whoa Gravity, stay the hell away from me. And Gravity, has taken better man than me.
Now how can that be. Just keep me where the light is.

25 year reunion of this fantastic RnB combo originally for Leeds & the north west.
Still crazy after all these years,guys!
Quite some time ago, three engineering students, at the then Leeds Poly, were desperately trying to find a way of avoiding any kind of work whatsoever, when they presently hit on the idea of making a great deal of noise by manipulating various musical instruments. 'Twas at this point that Simon, Tim & Iain formed what the history books will refer to as The Original Gravity Band. Originally the vocalisations were supplied by one Kevin Dobson, whose whereabouts today are not known. Stories of alien abduction are completely made up for the purposes of this bio and it's more likely that we just lost touch. (Kev, if you read this, give us a bell; We're sure you owe us all money!). Soon the services of Mr. Adrian Peever were enlisted, after Simon's glowing report that "he sings a bit ". Even though he was from Crewe we didn't hold this against him and asked if he would be interested in fronting the band. Pressure was relieved from his throat just enough to allow him to gargle "errgh, yeah" & the rest is, as they are said to say, history. The band immediately embarked on a relentless world tour over the next few years (mainly in the Leeds & Crewe areas) which saw them grace the stages of countless venues, such as the 'never-to-be-forgotten' Duchess of York (RIP), the Eagle Tavern (Hello Les!), The Express at Crewe (we didn't knack the window), The Duck and Drake (happy new yeeeaaaarrrghh!!) . . . It was always worth experiencing the band supporting landlord Les Moon's incredibly passionate version of 'High Heeled Sneakers'. And, then, of course, there is The indestructible Grove Inn. Who knows? perhaps one wet and curry-fragrant night, you'll be taking shelter in the longest shadow in Europe (what IS that damn thing? Is that King Kong swinging from the top?) when suddenly an ear-shattering racket will blast once more from behind a frosted pane . . .

Edited Hubble Space Telescope image of SDSS J1138+2754, a cluster of galaxies acting as a gravitational lens (the arc of light above the center of the image).
Original caption: Gravity is so much a part of our daily lives that it is all too easy to forget its awesome power — but on a galactic scale, its power becomes both strikingly clear and visually stunning. This image was taken with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope’s Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) and shows an object named SDSS J1138+2754. It acts as a gravitational lens illustrates the true strength of gravity: A large mass — a galaxy cluster in this case — is creating such a strong gravitational field that it is bending the very fabric of its surroundings. This causes the billion-year-old light from galaxies sitting behind it to travel along distorted, curved paths, transforming the familiar shapes of spirals and ellipticals (visible in other parts of the image) into long, smudged arcs and scattered dashes. Some distant galaxies even appear multiple times in this image. Since galaxies are wide objects, light from one side of the galaxy passes through the gravitational lens differently than light from the other side. When the galaxies’ light reaches Earth it can appear reflected, as seen with the galaxy on the lower left part of the lens, or distorted, as seen with the galaxy to the upper right. This data were taken as part of a research project on star formation in the distant Universe, building on Hubble’s extensive legacy of deep-field images. Hubble observed 73 gravitationally-lensed galaxies for this project.
