Picture on the left showing Closeup of the Korean Demilitarized Zone that surrounds the Military Demarcation Line. Text on the right saying: On September 8, 1945 Korea was partitioned into north and south by the US and the USSR (now Russia). On September 8, 1945 Korea was partitioned into north and south by the US and the USSR (now Russia). After Japan was defeated in WWII, allied leaders agreed that Korea would be liberated from Japan but would be placed under an international trusteeship until the Koreans would be deemed ready for self-rule. The country was partitioned with the north occupied by USSR and south occupied by USA until the trusteeship could be implemented. However, negotiations between USA and USSR regarding the trusteeship failed. UN-backed elections were held In the US-occupied southern half in 1948 and Syngman Rhee won the election, while Kim Il Sung consolidated his position as the leader of Soviet-occupied northern Korea. This led to the establishment of the Republic of Korea in southern Korea on 15 August 1948, followed by the establishment of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in northern Korea on 9 September 1948. On 25 June 1950, North Korea invaded South Korea in an attempt to re-unify the peninsula under its communist rule. The subsequent Korean War, which lasted from 1950 to 1953, ended with a stalemate and has left Korea divided by the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) up to the present day.

Black and white image of Maria Mitchell with text saying: Maria Mitchell, was born on August 1, 1818, in Nantucket, Massachusetts, U.S. She was the first professional woman astronomer in the United States. In addition to other accomplishments, Mitchell pioneered ithe daily photography of sunspots & was the first to find that they were whirling vertical cavities rather than clouds, as had been earlier believed. In October 1847 Mitchell succeeded in establishing the orbit of a new comet, which became known as “Miss Mitchell’s Comet.” She died on June 28 , 1889.

A card showing Marie Curie's opened research notebook. Text on right says "Marie Curie, celebrated as the 'mother of modern physics,' passed away from aplastic anemia, an uncommon condition associated with significant exposure to her renowned discoveries, the radioactive elements polonium and radium. Even after more than a century, a significant portion of her personal belongings, such as her clothing, furniture, cookbooks, and laboratory notes, retain their radioactive properties. Her laboratory research notebooks are contaminated with radium 226 and therefore are stored in lead-lined boxes at Bibliotheque National in Paris, France, where they are considered as national and scientific treasure.

Image of Johannes Kepler with text to the left saying: On July 19, 1595, German astronomer, mathematician, astrologer, natural philosopher and writer on music, Johannes Kepler has an epiphany and develops his theory of the geometrical basis of the universe while teaching in Graz. A key figure in the 17th century scientific revolution, Johannes Kepler discovered how planets rotated around sun with elliptical orbits. In 1600 he moved to Prague to assist astronomer Tycho Brahe in Prague, where he was able to use Brahe's observational records to document and develop his theories. Kepler formulated three laws known as Kepler's Laws and his work went on to provide one of the foundations of Isaac Newton's theory of universal gravitation.

Image of our galaxy the Milky Way using ghost particles called neutrinos on top. Below is text saying: Behold the first ever image of the Milky Way composed of "ghostly particles" called Neutrinos. Scientists revealed this unique image of our galaxy by determining the galactic origin of thousands of neutrinos, which exist in great quantities but normally pass straight through Earth undetected - they even pass through us. The neutrino-based image of the Milky Way is the first of its kind because it is made with particles of matter rather than electromagnetic energy. Researchers used the U.S. National Science Foundation-supported IceCube Neutrino Observatory at NSF's Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica that detects the subtle signs of high-energy neutrinos from space.
