McMath–Pierce solar telescope is a 1.6 m f/54 reflecting solar telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona, United States. Built in 1962, the building was designed by American architect Myron Goldsmith and Bangladeshi-American structural engineer Fazlur Rahman Khan. It was the largest solar telescope and the largest unobstructed aperture optical telescope in the world. It is named after the astronomers Robert Raynolds McMath and Keith Pierce.

Antelope Range and Livestock Research Station

By jbottero

(2025-11-05)

The Antelope Range and Livestock Research Station is operated by South Dakota State University and its extension programs to improve ranching in the U.S. State of South Dakota. The site is 8,300 acres, the largest of SDSU's research stations. This land was owned by the state and operated as a pronghorn antelope preserve until 1947, when it was transferred to the agricultural university for research into "the balance between cattle and sheep production and protection and renewal of range resources". It lies in the middle of Harding County, South Dakota, in the far northwest corner of the state.

The sign is high off the ground because it snows *A LOT* during the winters in South Dakota.

Warner & Swasey Observatory

By jbottero

(2025-10-29)

The Warner & Swasey Observatory was built in 1919 by industrialists Worcester Warner and Ambrose Swasey and donated to the Case School of Applied Science in East Cleveland, Ohio. It served as a major astronomy research center for decades, housing several telescopes and contributing to studies of stars and galaxies. As the city grew, increasing light pollution made it harder to conduct observations. By the 1980s, Case Western moved its operations elsewhere, and the observatory was shut down in 1983. Sadly, the observatory never found another use, and remains abandoned to this day. The interior is covered in graffiti, and Case Western should be ashamed.

In September 2025, drone footage revealed that the research station has now been taken over by a group of polar bears.

CERN - A Large Ion Collider Experiment (ALICE)

By Mike1989

(2013-09-26)

A Large Ion Collider Experiment (ALICE) is one of seven detector experiments at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. The other six are: ATLAS, CMS, TOTEM, LHCb, LHCf and MoEDAL. ALICE is optimized to study heavy ion collisions. Pb-Pb nuclei collisions will be studied at a centre of mass energy of 2.76 TeV per nucleus. The resulting temperature and energy density are expected to be large enough to generate a quark-gluon plasma, a state of matter wherein quarks and gluons are deconfined.

CERN - Large Hadron Collider tunnel

By Mike1989

(2013-09-26)

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the highest-energy particle collider ever made and is considered as "one of the great engineering milestones of mankind." It was built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) from 1998 to 2008, with the aim of allowing physicists to test the predictions of different theories of particle physics and high-energy physics, and particularly prove or disprove the existence of the theorized Higgs particle and of the large family of new particles predicted by supersymmetric theories. The LHC is expected to address some of the still unsolved questions of physics, advancing human understanding of physical laws. It contains seven detectors each designed for specific kinds of exploration.
The LHC was built in collaboration with over 10,000 scientists and engineers from over 100 countries, as well as hundreds of universities and laboratories. It lies in a tunnel 27 kilometres (17 mi) in circumference, as deep as 175 metres (574 ft) beneath the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva, Switzerland.

In Puerto Ayora, Santa Cruz Island, Ecuadorian and foreign scientists work constantly on research and projects for conservation of the Galapagos terrestrial and marine ecosystems. The Charles Darwin Research Station, established in 1964, has a Natural History Interpretation Centre and also carries out educational projects in support of conservation of the Galápagos Islands.

National Institute for Agronomy in Belgian Congo

By jbottero

(2013-08-24)

Though the research station, with its unique and enormous library collection, was officially closed December 31st, 1962, not everyone left. The station’s librarian, and his small group of volunteer clerks, work every day at the now powerless library, fighting to keep the collection in a state of usability. Unfortunately, without financial or government support, things look grim. Without money, electricity, or water, (and resultantly, a crucial dehumidifier) the mold and the march of time are taking their toll on the many thousands of volumes and pamphlets of unique material covering the span of botanical and agricultural research during the period of the first half of the Twentieth Century.

Yet, even in a country of endless conflict and unending strife, with little outside media attention, these tireless library-workers come to the research station every day, waiting for the day they get funding, or electricity, some kind of helping hand. This is the epitome of pride in ones cultural and intellectual heritage, despite the obvious baggage.

What then, can be done? Grants go unanswered, national stability is a ways off, electricity has been off for years. Librarians Without Borders? Partnering with Google or some other organization with the will and the way? Building a water-powered generator (the station is next to the Congo River)?
