Touching the world . . . Among
the best examples of bringing the beauty of our world down to earth are
the tactile hyper globes created in Hamburg, Germany, by Globocess AG,
which today stand in hotels, museums, and meteorological institutes.
Projectors and prisms project up-to-date satellite images
of the earth’s surface and clouds.
The earth’s movement is simulated in real time
and software provides constantly updated pictures from outer space.
The World of Aviation
. . . Pan American World Airways utilized this beautiful globe
of the world as the centerpiece for its legendary flying boat base at
Dinner Key (Miami-Coconut Grove), Florida, during 1933-45.
Ten feet in diameter, the globe is 31.5 ft. around and
weighs 6,500 Lbs.
In 1960, the globe was moved down the road near Dinner
Key to the Miami Science Museum (MSM) where it is the centerpiece of the
grand lobby.
In 2012 the globe was restored to its former glory to
show its original (1933) colors & geography.
The Aurora Borealis, also known as
the Northern Lights, flare up green, yellow, and pink near the Vedauwoo
Recreation Area on a recent Monday night between Cheyenne and Laramie,
Wyoming.
The Northern Lights are the result of collisions between
gaseous particles in the Earth's atmosphere and charged particles released
by the Sun.
Variations in color are due to the type of gas particles
that are colliding. |
