One of the 44 radio telescopes.
This station was established in 1953 by the Royal Observatory of Belgium to place the very first radio telescopes observing the sun there. In the 1960s, a solar interferometer was built with 44 radio telescopes, which were operated until 2001. Today, the station is still home to radio and optical instruments that study the sky, the sun, Earth's environment and its atmosphere.
Dit station werd opgericht in 1953 door de Koninklijke Sterrenwacht van België om er de allereerste radiotelescopen te plaatsen die de zon observeren. In de jaren ‘60 werd een zonne-interferometer gebouwd met 44 radiotelescopen, die werden uitgebaat tot in 2001. Vandaag is het station nog steeds de thuisbasis van radio- en optische instrumenten die de hemel, de zon, de omgeving van de aarde en haar atmosfeer bestuderen.
I don't think there's much science going on there. An interesting Wikipedia profile of this far-out organization:

I couldn't live here.
who's asking you to?
oh, I was just trying to anticipate your next question.
yeah? so what's my next one after that?
am I hungry?
right! and what's your answer?
I'm starved.
good. let's eat.
well that was easy.
hey, it's not rocket science, you know.
Along the opposite direction from the Big Wheel is the Science Museum “Museum of Tomorrow”. It was closed when I arrived, although open later in the day. It was designed by Spanish neofuturistic architect Santiago Calatrava, who also designed the “City of Science” in Valencia. His architecture has been used as backdrops to quite a few science fiction films.
Just a couple of shots to show the magnitude of the crowd yesterday for Earth Day Science March. Trump wants to defund the Environmental Protection Agency and has already loosened US Department of Agriculture (USDA) restrictions. In addition, there's been a growing laxation of what it means to have food qualified as organic. So, this effects the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat. Trump doesn't believe in alternative energy and would rather bring back increased oil drilling, coal and other pollutants. He doesn't believe climate change exists and this will not only effect those living in America but those living throughout the world. He wants to ignore sound scientific data in favor of his billionaire buddies at Exxon, for example.
The idea that climate change is a partisan issue at this point is alarming. This is the Earth we all live in. It's not just the children of liberals that will be affected by these policies. Trump's own children will have to struggle to survive because of the damage he is doing. And yet, he continues to show wrath towards this planet and everyone on it. Impeach Trump!

This dramatic image of a 6 km diameter crater in the northern plains of Mars was captured by the CaSSIS camera on the ESA-Roscosmos ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter during local evening when half the crater was in shadow.
Intriguing features can be seen both inside and outside the crater. During an impact event vast volumes of material are flung out of the central cavity, which may create radiating patterns like the grooves seen here extending away from the crater.
Inside the crater, material slumps towards the centre, while more recently formed gullies are evident on walls and rim.
The crater is located at 134°12'13.0"W/43°14'59.7"N.
TGO arrived at Mars in 2016 and began its full science mission in 2018. The spacecraft is not only returning spectacular images, but also providing the best ever inventory of the planet’s atmospheric gases, and mapping the planet’s surface for water-rich locations. It will also provide data relay services for the second ExoMars mission comprising the Rosalind Franklin rover and Kazachok platform, when it arrives on Mars in 2023.

Lotus plants (Nelumbo nucifera) grow in muddy water, but its leaves are surprisingly clean. When rain falls on lotus leaves, water beads up with a high contact angle. The water drops promptly roll off the leaves, collecting dirt along the way. The self-cleaning property exhibited by the leaves is known as the lotus effect. Though the lotus effect was known from ancient times, it was only after the introduction of the scanning electron microscope that its mechanism could be explained.
Now nanotechnologists are putting in efforts to develop applications based on the lotus effect, ranging from self-cleaning window glasses, paints, and fabrics, dew harvesting for use in irrigation and many more.

Covid-19 still has this Marine Science Center Closed. This is the craziest thing I have ever lived through. When will this end..??
Smash the "L" key to enlarge, then you can read the closed sign on the building.
