- Beale Air Force Base, California, is home to the U-2, an aircraft that was originally designed to fly high-altitude intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions during the Cold War. Today, the U-2 flies in support of a variety of missions from ground combat to disaster relief. During high-altitude missions, U-2 pilots often see a natural occurrence called the "terminator line," which separates day and night. This "ah ha" moment is an awesome reminder of mankind's diminutive size when skimming the edge of space. (U.S. Air Force Video by Andrew Arthur Breese)

- Description
- Nestled along St. Andrew Bay, the Fanselau Coil Facility is a prominent,
two-story, dome-shaped structure lined with towering wooden beams supporting
coils that create a magnetic field -- a setting appearing at once dated and
modern, and somewhat resembling a mad scientist's dream realized. One of
only two such complexes of its type in the world, the facility was developed
in the mid-1980s to simulate Earth's inconsistent magnetic fields, which
enables scientists to measure magnetic effects on unmanned underwater
vehicles and characterize foreign sensors over a vast area.
