I have a Galileo thermometer in my office. It’s not very accurate, and I worry that it will fall over and break every time I get a file off of the shelf unit it’s sitting on. (It always makes a clangy noise, like it’s threatening to plunge to its death.)

Cool pics, Danielle.

I’ve always wanted a Galileo thermometer. My science teacher had one that was rainbow-y. It was neat.

I really like those pics. Curvy is cool. We have a Galileo thermometer. I really like them.

thanks. (nifty is one of my favorite words)

In the top pic, there is a cut out in a gray metal cover that is U shaped and you can see the columns through it. I went ahead and took the pic with the focus on the depth of the cover, hence the columns are a bit out of focus. There is a small column and a large column behind it. The spring only goes around the large one in the back, so the spring is distorted, because you are looking at it through the water and glass of the small one.

Hope that clears it up.

I like the curvy-ness of the glass too. I’ve thought about getting one of those Gallileo thermometers

because of the excess of cool curvy glass. And of course, the science behind it.

Those really are quite nifty.

I’m a little confused by the first picture. Is that a reflection in something?

I like how you captured the bubbles in the two pics. They are so curvey.
