If England has Stonehenge, then NYC has Manhattanhenge! It's when the sun sets aligned with the grid of east-west streets in the borough of Manhattan in New York City, a highly photographed phenomenon that occurs twice a year during summer solstice. It happened on May 29 this year. Did you take any lomographs? :-)

If you have 5 minutes to be slack-jawed with awe, watch these truly bedazzling short films by Louie Schwartzberg, noted nature cinematographer and filmmaker. He has been shooting high-definition time-lapse videos of flowers blooming, animals moving, and seasons changing for 30 years and the footage he gets teaches us so much about our planet and ecosystems.

The Northern Lights (aka aurora borealis), one of the most spectacular scientific phenomena, is on my personal bucket list of things to see in real life. I'd get technical about this eye-widening event but I'll let these photos do the talking. Look and be amazed.

Passé? That's for sure. But to what to we owe the diminishing of at-home laboratories and the purchasing of chemistry sets? Have modern day kits become too 'wimpy' for the young appetite or have the surplus of games and activities for children overtaken the allure the chemistry set once had? Read on to discover what crazy chemicals and features sets of the past had!

A collection of anatomical illustrations may sound droll. What about if they were 'imagined' anatomical illustrations that look like the historic science illustrations of flora and fauna we are used to but aren't quite anatomically correct! Illustrator Katie Scott even uses yellowing paper to complete the overall 'olden' look.

“To document and observe the world around you. As if you’ve never seen it before. Take notes. Collect things you find on your travels. Document findings. Notice patterns. Copy. Trace. Focus on one thing at a time. Record what you are drawn to.” This is the mission given to us by by Keri Smith in her book!

"Griffith Observatory is an icon of Los Angeles, a national leader in public astronomy, a beloved civic gathering place, and one of southern California's most popular attractions. The Observatory is located on the southern slope of Mount Hollywood in Griffith Park, just above the Los Feliz neighborhood. It is 1,134 feet above sea level and is visible from many parts of the Los Angeles basin." - quote taken from the Griffith Observatory website

With all this baking soda and dishwashing, I thought I would have some fun with my film myself. So I powdered up my film with some baking soda and gave it a drink in red wine vinegar. Some rinsing with water, drying, shooting, and developing and every picture has a blue hue. Here's how I did it.

Fifth grade science fair will never be the same. See what happened when ipdegirl's daughter decided to forgo the usual experiments and instead made a pinhole camera.

It’s with a certain emotion that I post this location. It was indeed my last cruise on board the ice-breaker Amundsen…
-
One of the first stops of my summer road trip through South-eastern Mexico. This place is quite big, cool, and impressive (and they have crazy coloured jellyfish)

This month marks the 50th anniversary of the dedication of this 'modern' science facility that has already been closed for more than two decades..but the quaint building in its forgotten state intrigues me.

The Biosphere2, a technological wonder and one of the world's wildest tourist attractions, happens to also be in one of the strangest places for a 3.15 acre science facility: 40 minutes outside of Tucson, AZ.

Only eight photos came back from my trip onboard the icebreaker Amundsen during winter 2008, eight memories from a great trip!

Come on board an Icebreaker and follow scientists during their studies about global warming.
