    A large red industrial steel structure, likely a wind turbine hub or heavy machinery component, is secured on a barge or vessel deck at night. The structure is wrapped with white foam or protective padding material and appears to be in transit or staged for transport. The setting appears to be a waterway or port facility based on visible lights and water in the background.

    The 50-foot electromagnetic particle ring, Muon g-2 (pronounced g minus two) enters Kentucky Lock, Grand Rivers, Ky., July 16, 2013 on its circuitous journey from Long Island, N.Y. to Chicago. It is a very powerful electromagnetic ring capable of carrying 5,200 amps of current and it creates a very strong magnetic field that allows storing a special particle called a muon. For additional information on the Muon g-2, and how the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nashville District contributed to its journey, go to http://www.npr.org/2013/07/02/197719271/15-ton-particle-ring-travels-to-chicago-by-land-and-by-sea>
