360° panorama by Ken Stahley. Click the image to open the interactive version.
This panorama shows a couple of buttes of a Chugwater formation exposure on the south end of the Pryor Mountain range in southern Montana and norther Wyoming at the northern edge of the Big Horn Basin. These landmarks are known locally simply as The Red Buttes. There are several buttes similar to these in the area of this arid part of the basin. The panorama opens looking towards the east butte with the Pryor Mountain uplift in the distance. As you rotate the view clockwise you will see the Big Horn Mountains if the far distance before seeing the west butte with a bit more rotation.

No Name Lake is a proglacial lake on the east side of Broken Top in the Three Sisters Wilderness, Oregon. It was created during the Little Ice Age, to which most of the glacier is gone today. This view is from the high point of one of the neoglacial moraines w/ rock flour still giving the lake a distinct turquoise color. Broken Top's barren eroded red contrast adds a nice backdrop, making this hike is popular w/ the trail's end at the top of the ridge leading to an overlook of the Three Sisters & the Bend Glacier. There was elk alongside the lake, though not too visible in this photo, plus a dead doe here at the lake's exit, giving off an awful odor. Haze from forest fires crept in during the night limiting the views.

Looking at this unnamed small tarn on the east side of Broken Top in the Three Sisters Wilderness, Oregon. This is above No Name Lake & is still half buried in snow. Rock flour gives the water a distinct turquoise color. Broken Top's barren eroded red contrast adds a nice backdrop. Haze from forest fires crept in during the night limiting the views.

It is the world's most advanced optical instrument, consisting of four Unit Telescopes with main mirrors of 8.2m diameter and four movable 1.8m diameter Auxiliary Telescopes. The telescopes can work together, to form a giant ‘interferometer’. The VLT intervalometer allowing astronomers to see details up to 25 times finer than with the individual telescopes. The light beams are combined in the VLTI using a complex system of mirrors in underground tunnels where the light paths must be kept equal to distances less than 1/1000 mm over a hundred metres. With this kind of precision the VLTI can reconstruct images with an angular resolution of milliarcseconds, equivalent to distinguishing the two headlights of a car at the distance of the Moon. The 8.2m diameter Unit Telescopes can also be used individually. With one such telescope, images of celestial objects as faint as magnitude 30 can be obtained in a one-hour exposure. This corresponds to seeing objects that are four billion (four thousand million) times fainter than what can be seen with the unaided eye.

The Garden of the Residencia in ESO Hotel ESO Hotel at Cerro Paranal (or Residencia) is the accommodation for Paranal Observatory in Chile since 2002. It is mainly used for the ESO (European Southern Observatory) scientists and engineers who work there on a roster system. It has been called a "boarding house on Mars", because the desert surroundings are Mars-like, and an "Oasis for astronomers". It is not a commercial hotel, and the public cannot book rooms. The total area is 10 000 m^2, with an L-shape of 176 m x 53 m. It has 4 levels, 1,000 m^2 of gardens, 108 rooms, and 18 offices. It includes a restaurant, music room, library, swimming pool, and sauna. Its inauguration was in February 2002. The hotel is located at 2,400 meters (7,900 ft) above sea level on Cerro Paranal. The people there work in extreme climatic conditions including intense sunlight, dryness, high wind speeds and great fluctuations in temperature. To protect against these an artificial oasis was built to allow respite between shifts. The hotel complex, comprising four levels, fits into an existing depression in the ground. There are views across the desert to the Pacific Ocean from each of the 120 rooms and also from the dining room veranda. Also visible is a slightly raised dome comprising a steel skeleton that measures 35 meters (115 ft) in diameter. The hotel's exterior was featured in the 2008 Bond film Quantum of Solace.A miniature of the hotel was built by the visual effects team for the shots where the hotel is destroyed.

Poul la Cour was a pioneer in the field of aerodynamics and is known for his development of windmills for electricity generation. With his wind tunnel experiments, he developed the theory for the ideal windmill blade profile and discovered that the airflow behind the blade was just as important as the wind’s forward pressure. Poul la Cour also studied the potential of storing wind energy in hydrogen and oxygen by electrolysis. His Askov research centre from 1897 functions today as a museum of Danish wind turbine history as well as a classroom for natural sciences. Visitors can do experiments with wind energy, energy storage by electrolysis of water to hydrogen and oxygen, fuel cells, solar cells and other forms of renewable energy. Poul la Cour’s Test Turbine is owned and run by the Poul la Cour Foundation. http://www.poullacour.dk/index-uk.htm
