The VIIRS instrument collects visible and infrared imagery and global observations of land, atmosphere, cryosphere and oceans. The VIIRS instrument is currently flying on-board Suomi NPP and has arrived at Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. for integration on the JPSS-1 spacecraft.

My "good" violin -- well, it's better than the other one, anyway. :) A pleasant sort of student instrument, a Roth by Scherl & Roth Strad copy, built in 1982 in Germany and adjusted in Cleveland.
My love for it is irrational and unshakeable.
to touch, to play an instrument

Imagine a Spanish speaking artist (like Manu Chao, Paco de Lucía, Joaquín Sabina, Carlos Santana…) playing their instrument with their «toes».
“He played the guitar and she played the piano.”
“Él tocaba la guitarra y ella tocaba el piano.”

This fiddle bears the label of the Helland Brothers of Cameron, Barron County, Wisconsin. Knut Helland (ca. 1880-1920) and Gunnar Helland (1889-1976) were part of the third generation of the noted Helland/Steintjønndalen family of Hardanger fiddlemakers in Bø, Telemark, Norway. The brothers came to the Chippewa Falls area in the early twentieth century and established a violin workshop.

This morning, we were up early to fly out to Mukwando. Mukwando (or Sierra de Neve) is an old volcano, and there is a tribe of people that live within its caldera.
I sat in the seat behind the co-pilot on today's flight. This meant I got to listen in to the goings on up front, and snap a photo of the plane's instruments.
If you would like to learn a little more about MAF and Mukwando, check out this video. It was filmed when I visited Angola in 2009: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIn8qinSP1g

Lubango, Huila, Angola, Africa
Displayed at the Mining Machinery Exhibition 1913.
The telescope was by Carl Zeiss of Jena together with an adjustable centering base of the 'Cooke' Patent.
The horizontal circle was enclosed to exclude dust & moisture thus making this instrument suitable for mining surveying although the design rendered it vulnerable to damage in a mining environment.
A point to bear in mind - the vernier readings had to be made by the light of an oil lamp whilst underground at this time.
This would make a fine collector's item in today's market.
A look at both ends of Mothra Instrument Platform, which awaits connection to the NEPTUNE Observatory network. Remotely operated vehicle ROPOS visited this platform at a depth of 2276 m in the southern Endeavour segment of the Juan de Fuca Ridge, 21 May 2014. Resting on this platform is an autonomous bottom pressure recorder (rusted instrument in the lower image), from which accumulated data were downloaded for inclusion in Ocean Networks Canada's data archives.

A Switec X27-168 stepper motor wired up to the Arduino. The pointer was moving when I took the photo, hence the blur. These little geared stepper motors are designed to be used in car instrument panels, as the speedo, rev-counter, fuel gauge and so on. Not a great deal of torque, but quick to respond and high resolution (due to the internal gearing).
There's a software library to drive this type of motor, called Gaugette: github.com/clearwater/gaugette

This is one of the torture instruments used during the Khmer Rouge. If you see the two horse-shoe like steel at the bottom of this bucket, it is used to cuff the hands of the prisoners. The prisoners are then hung upside down. The bucket is then filled with water.
Dashboard of a 1937 Cord Model 812. According to Wikipedia, "the Model 810/812 are probably the best-known of the company's products. Styled by Gordon M. Buehrig, it featured front-wheel drive and independent front suspension;[4] the front drive enabled the 810 to be so low, runningboards were unnecessary.[4] Powered by a 4,739 cc (289 cu in)[6] Lycoming V8 of the same 125 hp (93 kW) as the L-29,[4] The 810 had a four-speed electrically-selected semi-automatic transmission,[7] among other innovative features.
The car caused a sensation at the New York Auto Show in November 1935. Many orders were taken at the show, but the cars were not ready to deliver until February. Despite production delays, Cord promised Christmas delivery, expecting production of 1,000 per month. This proved extremely optimistic; the first production vehicles were not delivered until April 1936.[8] In all, Cord managed to sell only 1,174 of the new 810 in its first model year.[6] The car is well-known for the flat front nose with a louvered grille design. In fact, the front was so similar in look, the car was often called "Coffin Nose".
