The Lawrence Hall of Science (LHS) is a public science center, run by the University of California, Berkeley. It is located in the hills above the university's central campus.
Founded in 1968, LHS is primarily oriented towards hands-on science and mathematics education for children. It has a variety of exhibits, including a planetarium, biology lab and earthquake center. LHS also develops educational materials for teachers and parents, and holds classes for teacher development in science.
LHS is named after Ernest Orlando Lawrence,who won the Nobel Prize in Physics.
The webcam and the associated website are
the project of ScienceView,
a media developer, who sets out to help children
understand the weather by correlating the view from the Lawrence
Hall of Science with weather data and satellite imagery. This
project is part of the Lawrence Hall of Science Weather Exhibit
and the FOSS Weather CD-ROM.

The San Francisco Bay Area, also known as the Bay Area, is a geographically diverse metropolitan area that surrounds the San Francisco Bay in Northern California. Home to more than eight million people, it is composed of cities, towns, military bases, airports, and associated regional, state, and national parks sprawled over nine counties (ten, according to some agencies) and connected by a massive network of roads, highways, railroads, and commuter rail.
The Bay Area, unlike the typical metropolitan area, contains several distinct urban and suburban centers. While San Jose is the largest city in the Bay Area (having surpassed San Francisco in the 1990 census), for most of its history San Francisco was the largest city in the region, and remains the traditional, financial, and cultural center. The area containing the city of San Francisco together with Oakland and San Jose is the sixth-largest consolidated metropolitan area in the United States.
