Fridaygram: Galapagos on Street View, insect gears, Foucault’s doodle

Regular Fridaygram readers know that Street View goes places even if there aren’t any streets, like
the Galapagos Islands
. This week we launched the panoramic images collected
earlier this year
with the
Street View Trekker
, and they’re pretty cool.

As we mentioned back in May, we also used an underwater camera to collect images of marine life in the waters off the Galapagos. Between the land and the sea, we collected pictures of
blue-footed boobies
,
Magnificent Frigatebirds
, and other island creatures. These images will help with Galapagos environmental research. If you’re interested, you can
read more
about it.
Speaking of the wonders of nature, researchers have used high-speed video cameras to record
insects with natural gears
that mesh to enable movement. Scientists Malcolm Burrows and Gregory Sutton of the University of Cambridge found that young
planthoppers
have microscopic gear teeth that synchronize their legs when they jump. Their legs move within 30 millionths of a second of each other, ensuring that their jumping is effective. As the insects mature, they lose these baby teeth and learn to jump without them.
Finally, last Wednesday’s Google Doodle honored the birthday of legendary physicist
Léon Foucault
, namesake of the Foucault pendulum, which shows the effect of the Earth’s rotation. The
doodle itself
is a working Foucault pendulum, complete with controls to change its time and location. We hope it inspires you to do some weekend inventing and adventuring of your own.
The world keeps turning, and
Fridaygram
keeps publishing. Look us up for nerdy cool news right before you start your weekend. And for still more amazing Galapagos stuff, see
Darwin for a Day
, built by the
Charles Darwin Foundation
and

Fridaygram: Street View in the sky, robot carp, restored shuttlecraft

This week we launched
Street View
images showing what it’s like inside (and outside) the
Burj Khalifa
in Dubai. We love taking Street View places it’s never been, and now we’ve added two firsts: the first collection in the Arab World, and the first one to
feature a skyscraper
.
As if it’s not enough to visit the 163rd floor of the world’s tallest building, or ride an elevator traveling at 22 mph, we thought it would be fun to send our Street View camera
outside the 73rd floor
in a maintenance unit for a breathtaking view of the surrounding cityscape. So don’t miss that view, as long as you’re OK with heights.
We go from high above the Earth to under the sea for news of the world’s first robot carp. A team of scientists in Singapore studied these freshwater fish and designed an
autonomous underwater exploration vehicle
. They plan to use this robofish to study tight spaces in underwater places, such as pipelines or the lost city of Atlantis. The researchers used cameras to record carp doing their thing, then created a mathematical model of carp movements to trigger actuators in their robot.
Finally, let’s journey beyond even the Burj Khalifa, out into (pretend) space, where the
Galileo Shuttlecraft
served Captain Kirk and the crew of the U. S. S. Enterprise in the original Star Trek universe. This prop was originally considered too expensive for the production company to build, so Federation personnel had to make their way to and from planets by transporter instead. But the craft was eventually built and appeared midway through the first season, in 1967 (or
stardate 2821.5
, if you prefer). In the years since then, the ship has deteriorated. But now
Star Trek fans and a shipwright
are restoring the Galileo to its original glory, to be enjoyed by fans everywhere. Magnifico!
Whether on the surface of the Earth,
way down below the ocean
, or in space,
Fridaygram
is always your ticket to fun nerdy stuff. Speaking of space (and Star Trek), it looks like
Voyager 1
has
still not left the solar system
, although it has entered a previously unknown area, far out there. This weekend, go and explore something new on your own!
