We are preparing a stand promoting modeling as role play in SL19Birth Community Celebration. There will be gifts and a lot of information, in case someone wants to follow that path.
Climate scientists swear there's nowhere drier than Chile's little-known Atacama Desert and in particular the Cordillera de la Sal (Salt Mountains). It was formed million of years ago. It was an old lake, which bottom went raising by the same movements of the terrestrial coast which gave origin to the Andes Mountains.
Camera obscura (plural camera obscura or camerae obscurae from Latin, meaning "dark room": camera "(vaulted) chamber or room," and obscura "darkened, dark"), also referred to as pinhole image, is the natural optical phenomenon that occurs when an image of a scene at the other side of a screen (or for instance a wall) is projected through a small hole in that screen, as a reversed and inverted image (left to right and upside down) on a surface opposite to the opening. The surroundings of the projected image have to be relatively dark for the image to be clear, so many historical camera obscura experiments were performed in dark rooms.
The term "camera obscura" also refers to constructions or devices that make use of the principle within a box, tent or room. Camerae obscurae with a lens in the opening have been used since the second half of the 16th century and became popular as an aid for drawing and painting. The camera obscura box was developed further into the photographic camera in the first half of the 19th century when camera obscura boxes were used to expose light-sensitive materials to the projected image.
The camera obscura was used as a means to study eclipses, without the risk of damaging the eyes by looking into the sun directly. As a drawing aid, the camera obscura allowed tracing the projected image to produce a highly accurate representation, especially appreciated as an easy way to achieve a proper graphical perspective.
A camera obscura device without a lens but with a very small hole is sometimes referred to as a "pinhole camera", although this more often refers to simple (home-made) lens-less cameras in which photographic film or photographic paper is used.
The earliest known written record of the camera obscura is to be found in Chinese writings called Mozi and dated to the 4th century BCE, traditionally ascribed to and named for Mozi (circa 470 BCE-circa 391 BCE), a Han Chinese philosopher and the founder of Mohist School of Logic. In these writings it is explained how the inverted image in a "collecting-point" or "treasure house" is inverted by an intersecting point (a pinhole) that collected the (rays of) light.
The Greek philosopher Aristotle (384-322 BCE), or possibly a follower of his ideas, touched upon the subject in the work Problems - Book XV, asking:
"Why is it that when the sun passes through quadri-laterals, as for instance in wickerwork, it does not produce a figure rectangular in shape but circular?”
and further on:
“Why is it that an eclipse of the sun, if one looks at it through a sieve or through leaves, such as a plane-tree or other broadleaved tree, or if one joins the fingers of one hand over the fingers of the other, the rays are crescent-shaped where they reach the earth? Is it for the same reason as that when light shines through a rectangular peep-hole, it appears circular in the form of a cone?"
Many philosophers and scientists of the Western world would ponder this question before it became accepted that the circular and crescent-shapes described in this "problem" were actually pinhole image projections of the sun. Although a projected image will have the shape of the aperture when the light source, aperture and projection plane are close together, the projected image will have the shape of the light source when they are further apart.
in front of Science World in Vancouver....Science World is a science centre run by a not-for-profit organization called ASTC Science World Society in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It is located at the end of False Creek and features many permanent interactive exhibits and displays, as well as areas with varying topics throughout the years...( the name of the scientist are in the tags)
Se promener à Vancouver... j'habite à Vancouver depuis plusieurs années et c'est etrange je n'avais pas encore porté attention à ces sculptures de scientifiques canadiens. Après une courte recherche , je constate que ces sculptures sont assez nouvelles ( 2016) Science World est un centre scientifique géré par une organisation à but non lucratif appelée ASTC Science World Society à Vancouver, Colombie-Britannique, Canada. Il est situé à la fin de False Creek et propose de nombreuses expositions et expositions interactives permanentes, ainsi que des zones avec des sujets variés au fil des ans.

The dodgy kind. Works in the kind of place where you enter with a broken arm and leave without legs.
Thanks to model Richard de Grataine Suoh aka richardgratainesuoh, for his invaluable collaboration and great styling.
We were missing the mad scientist with the typical laboratory full of instruments. Thanks to people with this great creativity, much progress was made in the use of steam in the steampunk world.

I was just guessin' at numbers and figures
Pullin' your puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart
And tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Oh, and I rush to the start
Runnin' in circles, chasin' our tails
Comin' back as we are
The scientist
The scientist counted brain cells
and connections,
then he measured the distance
between boulders
in the stream, as related to
the strength and speed
of the current passing,
until an aching toe
drew his attention to
a shoe too narrow
for his foot.

De Wetenschapper
De wetenschapper telde
de hersencellen en synapsen,
daarna mat hij de afstand
tussen keien
in de stroom, als verbonden
met de sterkte en snelheid
van het vlietend water,
tot een pijnlijke teen
zijn aandacht naar een schoen
trok, te nauw voor zijn voet.

Scientists tell us the Greenland ice sheet is 1,500 miles long, stretching the vertical length of the United States. They tell us the ice is two miles deep at the center. They tell us this massive ice cube contains a dizzying three quadrillion tons of solid water. That is 3,000,000,000,000,000 tons; a 3 with 15 zeros. And they estimate that when all that ice melts it will raise global sea levels by twenty-four feet, unleashing a planetary cataclysm that will drown the coastlines and mega-cities of human civilization that took millennia to make—undoing and reshaping the world.
I've been busy the last few weeks (work) and I haven't had much time for photos. Apparently while I've been frantically working, my minifigs decided to build an active volcano on my kitchen table :-) Last night I found the new female Volcano Scientist photographing the lava. I hope they clean up the mess :-)
I'm trying to get back into the swing of taking pictures especially since the Olympics are starting today :-)
The Scientist Christ Plaza in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. Interesting reflections, contrasts and clouds on a warm night last July.
From the Lost Files of Buzz's Adventures:
Yes, Buzz is retired. But a dedicated exploration of the Buzz files has uncovered a few never before seen photos of his adventures, including this one. Buzz has great repute as a scientist, a bacterial geneticist, studying the intricacies of the bacterial world. He is, no doubt, considering whether his next time point will be the one that breaks open the mystery....
That's what this Great Egret chick reminds me of ... a mad scientist laughing away as he prepares to bring his latest creation to life, or Christopher Lloyd, or Albert Einstein, or Phyllis Diller. Rookery, Dallas, Texas, USA, May 2016

Using a model similar to what meteorologists use to forecast weather and a computer simulation of the physics of evaporating ices, scientists have found evidence of snow and ice features on Pluto that, until now, had only been seen on Earth.
Formed by erosion, the features, known as “penitentes,” are bowl-shaped depressions with blade-like spires around the edge that rise several hundreds of feet.
The research, led by John Moores of York University, Toronto, and done in collaboration with scientists at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory and NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, indicates that these icy features may also exist on other planets where environmental conditions are similar.
The identification of these ridges in Pluto’s informally named Tartarus Dorsa area suggests that the presence of an atmosphere is necessary for the formation of penitentes – which Moores says would explain why they have not previously been seen on other airless icy satellites or dwarf planets. “But exotic differences in the environment give rise to features with very different scales,” he adds. “This test of our terrestrial models for penitentes suggests that we may find these features elsewhere in the solar system, and in other solar systems, where the conditions are right."
The research team, which also includes York’s Christina Smith, Anthony Toigo of APL and Scott Guzewich of Goddard Space Flight Center, compared its model to ridges on Pluto imaged by NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft in 2015. Pluto’s ridges are much larger – more than 1,600 feet (about 500 meters) tall and separated by two to three miles (about three to five kilometers) – than their Earthly counterparts.
“This gargantuan size is predicted by the same theory that explains the formation of these features on Earth,” says Moores. “In fact, we were able to match the size and separation, the direction of the ridges, as well as their age: three pieces of evidence that support our identification of these ridges as penitentes.”
Moores says though Pluto's environment is very different from Earth’s -- it is much colder, the air much thinner, the sun much dimmer and the snow and ice on the surface are made from methane and nitrogen instead of water -- the same laws of nature apply. He adds that both NASA and APL were instrumental in the collaboration that led to this new finding; both provided background information on Pluto's atmosphere using a model similar to what meteorologists use to forecast weather on Earth. This was one of the key ingredients in Moores’ own models of the penitentes, without which this discovery would not have been made.
Still on series 11 today with the scentist. The regular kind, not the mad kind. This one is mostly based on my memories from the lab in school, as I went on to study IT after that and stopped fiddling with microscopes and other typical science lab equipment. Although a part of me still wants to have my own lab where I can conduct crazy science experiments ...
My favourite part of this one is the microscope. Really wanted to create one that resembled a real microscope as much as possible, which is really hard when you still want it to be small enough to work with minifigs!
I had intended to put a petri dish in the form of an upside down trans clear round tile under the microscope, but I forgot to when taking the picture. Ah well.

Today's world is full of things to be afraid of. We have 24-hour news cycles hellbent on telling us of all of the scary things going on in the world. I think in a lot of cases we are paralyzed from actually experiencing life on the off chance something 'bad' may happen. The thing is, by living in this fear we miss out on all the good things that absolutely will happen too.
There comes a time in everyone's life when you have to stop observing what is happing around you and decide to be an active participant in the life experiment. Reach out and touch it.

"How green is my valley?"
Corry taking in the rural beauty of the countryside and enjoying the wide angle view on Poynings during our walk along/ from the Devil's Dyke. The views continued to be stunning, with Fulking village in the distance.
A legendary beauty spot on the South Downs:
Devil’s Dyke, just five miles north of Brighton, offers stunning panoramas, a record breaking valley, a curious history and England’s most colourful habitat.
At nearly a mile long, the Dyke valley is the longest, deepest and widest 'dry valley' in the UK. Legend has it that the Devil dug this chasm to drown the parishioners of the Weald. On the other hand, scientists believe it was formed naturally just over 10,000 years ago in the last ice age.
When John Constable described the panorama from Devil’s Dyke as 'the grandest view in the world', he wasn’t wrong, but there is so much more to discover here than just a beautiful view.
This area is Natioanl Trust.
We did one of the walks and started from the Devil's Dyke Pub.

A bit of AI art for your morning pleasure. My AI seems to have captured my look of the girly mad scientist. I feel like this some days when I begin a new mesh project. I may sculpt this someday and have as a gift for followers. Have a great weekend everyone
Scientists have finally discovered how owls manage to rotate their heads up to 270 degrees without causing themselves serious physical damage.
"Sudden movements of the head and neck in humans have been known to stretch and tear blood vessel linings, producing clots that can break off and lead to death through embolism or stroke.
The first anatomical variation researchers discovered was in the owl neck, where one of the major arteries feeding the brain passes through bony holes in the vertebrae. The hollow cavities were approximately 10 times wider than the artery traveling through.
The extra space creates a set of air pockets that cushions the artery allowing it to move around when twisted, claim the experts. Owls’ forward-facing eyes, gives them better depth perception and vision, but they are unable to move their eyes within their sockets to a great extent — which means they must turn their entire head to see in a different direction. The adaptation gives the birds a huge range of vision without having to move their bodies and risk being spotted by potential prey."
