June 2009
The DOE Data Explorer added ten new citations during the month of June. Five of these citations guide users to image libraries on Flickr. Several DOE National Laboratories are now using Flickr as the vehicle for making their image libraries available to the public. The libraries are organized into sets, making it easier to separate scientific images from images of facilities and people. Tags are also a powerful way to find the scientific images. Once at the Flickr "home page" for a particular lab, click TAGS, and then click on terms such as "physics" to find all the images that have been "tagged" with that keyword.
The ten records added in June to the DDE database are:
- CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS) Physics Databases (DDE00316)

The ALEXIS satellite was launched in April of 1993 by Los Alamos National Laboratory as an experiment in operating and rescuing a satellite and as a way to test techniques and technologies that might be used in future space missions. One of the payloads on the ALEXIS was the Blackbeard Radio Experiment/Project. Blackbeard captured transient radio impluses that came to be known as Trans-Ionospheric Pulse Pairs (TIPP). The Blackbeard experiment has been superceded by the Los Alamos FORTE satellite, but the Blackbeard home page still provides access to some of the images and data plots from the mid-1990s. Citation DDE00246 has been added to the DOE Data Explorer to help you find this older information.
