  • USA_SCI_RT_03_xs .Photo illustration:.Radio Telescope: The Mars Antenna in the Mojave Desert, California the Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex with 6 exposures of the eclipse of the moon. Standing 24 stories tall, the Mars antenna is the largest dish at Goldstone. It was originally built as a 64-meter-diameter (210-foot) antenna and received its first signal from the Mariner 4 mission to Mars. By 1988, the Mars dish, along with the 64-meter antennas in Spain and Australia, was upgraded to 70 meters (230 feet). These 70-meter antennas increase the receiving power of the Deep Space Network. (1983)

The Biosphere 2 Project’s twenty-seven foot test module seen with star trails at night in a long exposure. The building to the right is an atmospheric chamber used to equalize the air pressure in the module. The Biosphere was a privately funded experiment, designed to investigate the way in which humans interact with a small self-sufficient ecological environment, and to look at the possibility of future planetary colonization. The $30 million Biosphere covers 2.5 acres near Tucson Arizona, and is entirely self-contained. The eight ‘Biospherian’s’ shared their air- and water- tight world with 3,800 species of plant and animal life over their two-year stay in the building, producing all of their own food and supporting the whole environment in five 'biomes'; agricultural, rain forest, savannah, ocean and marsh.  1986

  • Long-exposure view of Dinosaur Cove by moonlight. The streaks in the sky are star trails created by the long time exposure. Dinosaur Cove, near Cape Otway, southern Australia is the world's first mine developed specifically for paleontology, normally the scientists rely on commercial mining to make the excavations. The site is of particular interest as the fossils found date from about 100 million years ago, when Australia was much closer to the South Pole than today. [1989].

  • New Age meditation technology. John-David, founder of the John-David Learning Center, inside his Brain/Mind Intensive Dome. The client sits inside the geodesic dome, and is slowly rotated. A 'self- improvement' tape is played through the speakers in the dome, along with other sounds that are said to 'tune-up' the brain. Claimed benefits of long-term use of the equipment include improvements to memory and decision-making abilities and an increase in creativity. The equipment is also claimed to be effective in treating alcohol or drug dependency. The John- David Learning Center is in Carlsbad, California. MODEL RELEASED [1988] Triple exposure.

The lower torso and extremity robot, called M2, took its first tentative steps last year here in the basement of MIT's Leg Laboratory. Established in 1980 by Marc Raibert, the Leg Lab was home to the first robots that mimicked human walking; swinging like an inverted pendulum from step to step.

  • A dinamation robotic model of an Apatosaurus (with the skin removed showing the metal skeleton) at the Dallas Science museum. A time exposure shows how the neck and head respond to joystick commands. Dinamation International, a California-based company, makes a collection of robotic dinosaurs. The dinosaurs are sent out in traveling displays to museums around the world. The dinosaur's robotic metal skeleton is covered by rigid fiberglass plates, over which is laid a flexible skin of urethane foam. The creature's joints are operated by compressed air and the movements controlled by computer.

  • Arizona. Lightning. Time exposure image of lightning strikes over Tucson, Arizona, USA..The silhouette of a giant saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) is in the foreground at right and left. Car tail light trails are also seen in the foreground. Lightning occurs when a large electrical charge builds up in a cloud, probably due to the friction of water and ice particles. The charge induces an opposite charge on the ground, and a few leader electrons travel to the ground. When one makes contact, there is a huge backflow of energy up the path of the electron. This produces a bright flash of light, and temperatures of up to 30,000 degrees Celsius. Photographed in Tucson, Arizona, USA. .

  • Lick Observatory. Time exposure image showing star trails over a telescope dome at the Lick Observatory on Mount Hamilton in California, USA. In the foreground are trails from red taillights of a car. Astronomers often carry red flashlights so that their night vision is not affected. Completed in 1888 at an altitude of 1280 meters, Lick was the world's first permanent mountaintop observatory. Its location provided excellent viewing conditions for years until light pollution from the nearby city of San Jose began to interfere with results. In 1997 the observatory is operated by California University. Star trails are caused by what seems to be the motion of the stars due to the rotation of the Earth about its axis.

  • TV of tomorrow. Long-exposure photograph of a TV monitor being wheeled through a corridor in the MIT Media Lab. The monitor on the left shows researcher Andrew Lippmann. Set up in 1985 at the USA's Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Media Lab aims to invent the multimedia technologies of the future. According to Lippmann and colleagues, tomorrow's TVs will combine computer technology with digital transmission to create an interactive system that could make conventional print and broadcast media redundant. Wall-sized 3-D screens that respond to the human voice could offer millions of TV channels, personalized news and interactive dramas.  (1995)

  • Roswell "aliens". Time-exposure image of two alien figures watching the Hale-Bopp comet in the night sky above the town of Napa, California, USA. It was near Roswell on the evening of 2 July 1947 that many UFO sightings were reported during a thunderstorm. Next morning a rancher, Mac Brazel, discovered strange wreckage in a field. When the impact site was located, a UFO craft and alien bodies were allegedly found. On 8 July 1947, the Roswell Daily Record announced the capture of a flying saucer. The official explanation was that it was a crashed weather balloon. Many Roswell inhabitants, however, believe this a cover up, and Roswell has become a symbol for UFO enthusiasts. (1997)
