Haudenosaunee: People of the Longhouse

American Museum of Natural History 2024-10-14 | “This is a profile of the Haudenosaunee, by the Haudenosaunee, speaking from the present,” says filmmaker Caleb G. Abrams (Seneca, Wolf Clan) about this film, which he produced in collaboration with the Museum in 2024.

Abrams and his team spoke with citizens of the Haudenosaunee (ho-dee-no-SHOW-nee) Confederacy’s six nations—the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca, and Tuscarora—whose homelands include much of present-day New York State.

This film explores vital parts of Haudenosaunee life today: the continuation of traditional government structures, the revitalization of languages after decades of repressive policies by the United States and Canada, the role of lacrosse as an expression of sovereignty on the world stage, and the sowing of seeds of knowledge and hope for future generations.

Haudenosaunee: People of the Longhouse is supported by the Anna-Maria and Stephen Kellen Foundation.

T. rex, Triceratops, Titanosaur–Whats the Difference?

American Museum of Natural History 2024-10-04 | What are the different types of dinosaurs found in the dinosaur family tree? What makes these ancient reptiles different from the lizards and snakes we see today? And what features do they share with the living dinosaurs—birds?

#paleontology #dinosaur #evolution

Sure, a Stegosaurus looks different from a T.rex, but how does a paleontologist figure out how to classify them? In this video, Macauley Curator Roger Benson from the Division of Paleontology at the American Museum of Natural History introduces the three major groups of dinosaurs—the ornithischians, the sauropodomorphs, and the theropods—and the differences between a dinosaur and a modern lizard. He also names a few ancient animals that aren’t dinosaurs at all–some of them may surprise you!

Repatriating Simon’s Outfit to the Tohono O’odham Nation

American Museum of Natural History 2024-09-21 | Tohono O’odham Cultural Affairs Specialist Samuel Fayuant describes the process of repatriating more than 120 cultural items to the Tohono O’odham Nation in southern Arizona from the American Museum of Natural History’s ethnographic collection.

In 1911, explorer Carl Lumholtz sold hundreds of items he collected from the Tohono O’odham people to the American Museum of Natural History. In 2021, the Museum welcomed five Tohono O’odham Nation representatives to complete the repatriation of more than 120 of those items—including one particularly storied ceremonial outfit belonging to a man called Simon—from the Division of Anthropology’s ethnographic collection. Cultural Affairs Specialist Samuel Fayuant describes the process, which began with consultations in 2019, and shares information about the sacred Vikita ceremony where Simon’s outfit would have been worn and what it means to his community for these items to return home.

Plan Your Visit To Invisible Worlds Today!

American Museum of Natural History 2024-09-19 | Be transported into nature’s hidden realms—from the depths of the ocean to the DNA strands in all living organisms. Invisible Worlds is a new 360-degree immersive experience, debuting as part of the Richard Gilder Center for Science, Education, and Innovation at the American Museum of Natural history.

Housed in a custom venue, Invisible Worlds is the latest presentation innovation, part of the Museum’s long tradition of transporting visitors across the world via its iconic habitat dioramas and throughout the universe in its science-visualization-driven Hayden Planetarium Space Shows. Just as the 180-degree planetarium dome creates the experience of looking up at the night sky, Invisible Worlds is designed to evoke the relationship humans have within nature—vast and ever-changing—in a wide, oval space with 23-foot-high walls and a mirrored ceiling that surrounds visitors with projections at all scales. At key moments, visitors are drawn into the story as their own movements affect the images around them.

For more about the Gilder Center, visit http://amnh.org/gildercenter.

How Do New Kinds of Telescopes Find New Things in Space? with Astrophysicist Michael Shara

American Museum of Natural History 2024-08-23 | How do we discover new types of objects in space? One way is to invent new kinds of telescopes. Join Museum Curator Michael Shara on an exploration of evolving telescope technologies, the most powerful telescopes ever built, and how the future of stargazing might already be in your pocket–as well as in the brand-new Condor Array Telescope.

Along the way, learn about the “wild and crazy” things stars do through Shara’s research into novas (stellar explosions that often repeat over time) and supernovas (the explosive deaths of stars).

What is a fossil?

American Museum of Natural History 2024-08-13 | Maybe you’ve seen a fossil T. rex, or a fossil wooly mammoth. But what exactly IS a fossil? Can a fossil be a plant, or a footprint? Does a fossil have to be a dinosaur?

#paleontology #fossils #dinosaur #prehistoric

From golden amber to ancient DNA, the fossil record of Earth stretches back hundreds of millions of years (even billions, for the earliest organisms). In this video, Macauley curator Roger Benson explains how a fossil is different from a skeleton, and shows many of the types of fossils that have helped paleontologists to understand the history of life on our planet.

How Genetic Changes Help and Hurt Us: The Human Variety Show

American Museum of Natural History 2024-08-09 | Ever wonder why some people are lactose intolerant and others aren’t? Or why some people have naturally thicker hair than others?

Some traits, like walking upright and using tools, define us as humans and have become fixed in our DNA over millions of years. Other traits that aren’t shared by everyone are more recent results of genetic adaptations to the very different environments humans lived in. But it turns out that genetic variations that once helped us are now causing trouble for human health.

Did you know leeches can jump? #biology

American Museum of Natural History 2024-06-21 | One small step for leeches, one giant leap for leechkind! For the first time,
we have concrete evidence that at least one species of terrestrial leech in
Madagascar can jump. Mai’s work is important to conservation efforts
because leeches are increasingly being collected to survey vertebrate
biodiversity. By analyzing their blood meals, researchers are able to identify
other animals living alongside the leeches, ranging from wildcats to frogs to
ground-dwelling birds.

Have you ever seen a leech jump? Let us know in the comments!

What the Heck Is a Nudibranch? with Marine Biologist Jessica Goodheart

American Museum of Natural History 2024-06-15 | Nudibranchs just might be the most charismatic of sea slugs, with their astonishing variety of colors, shapes, and sizes. And because they live almost everywhere in the world’s oceans, you may have encountered one without even knowing it.

Marine biologist and Museum Curator Jessica Goodheart takes you on a deep dive into the wild world of nudibranchs, including her research on the fascinating ways they defend themselves. (Spoiler alert: if you’re a jellyfish, you won’t like their predatory tactics!)

Did the James Webb Space Telescope Change Astrophysics? | 2024 Isaac Asimov Memorial Debate

American Museum of Natural History 2024-03-23 | How did the earliest galaxies form, and what implications does that have for fundamental laws of physics? Join Neil deGrasse Tyson, the Frederick P. Rose Director of the Hayden Planetarium, and a panel of leading scientists and experts for a spirited conversation around the profound impact NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is having on our understanding of the universe since it began transmitting images and astronomical data in 2022.

#JWST #EarlyUniverse #BigBang #Astrophysics

This year’s panelists include Mike Boylan-Kolchin of University of Texas at Austin, Wendy Freedman of the University of Chicago, Priya Natarajan of Yale University, Rachel Somerville of the Flatiron Institute, and John Wise of Georgia Institute of Technology. Delving into the cosmic mysteries unraveled by the JWST, the discussion will explore the telescope’s recent revelations, including bright and enigmatic galaxies that emerge in the extremely early universe–challenging conventional cosmological understandings of how galaxies formed.

The late Dr. Isaac Asimov, one of the most prolific and influential authors of our time, was a dear friend and supporter of the American Museum of Natural History. In his memory, the Hayden Planetarium is honored to host the annual Isaac Asimov Memorial Debate—generously endowed by relatives, friends, and admirers of Isaac Asimov and his work—bringing the finest minds in the world to the Museum each year to debate pressing questions on the frontier of scientific discovery. Proceeds from ticket sales of the Isaac Asimov Memorial Debates benefit the scientific and educational programs of the Hayden Planetarium.

Where are All the Tiny Dinosaurs?

American Museum of Natural History 2024-02-10 | A dinosaur as small as a mouse–pretty hard to imagine, right? That might be because most of the dinosaurs we know and love–T.rex, Apatosaurus, Triceratops–are all huge. Or it could be because tiny dinosaurs simply didn’t exist.

#dinosaur #paleontology #museum

Join paleontologist Roger Benson at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City to find out about the biggest and smallest known dinosaurs, how paleontologists look for traces of tiny ancient animals, and why the fact that scientists have not yet found a tiny dinosaur fossil remains a big puzzle.

Paleontologists dig for Jurassic dinosaur fossils

American Museum of Natural History 2023-11-18 | The Morrison Formation is one of the most famous dinosaur fossil sites in North America. Since the 1890s, it has been the site of discoveries such as Stegosaurus, Apatosaurus, and Allosaurus. But there’s more to be uncovered.

In 19th century, expeditions to the Morrison Foundation focused on the fossil remains of large animals, but today scientists are searching for fossils of species that were previously overlooked, especially in the relatively understudied northern portion. A team led by Museum paleontologist Mark Norell has returned year after year to uncover layers of the Jurassic. The results, both in the scale and quality of fossil discoveries, are exciting.

Digging the Dinosaurs of South Africa

American Museum of Natural History 2023-11-11 | Dinosaur fossils are mostly known from the United States and Europe, but the under-studied dinosaurs of South Africa are ready to steal the spotlight. Join Museum paleontologists on an expedition to dig up sauropod, theropod and mammal fossils–even the fossils of extinct relatives of crocodiles, known as pseudosuchians.

#Paleontology #SouthAfrica #Dinosaur #fossil

In 2023, Museum Macaulay Curator Roger Benson, Curator Meng Jin, and colleagues traveled to the village of Qhemegha, where the fossils of dinosaurs, mammals, and other extinct animals emerge from the hillsides. But more than just describing new species, these scientists are digging to find answers to why dinosaurs survived a mass extinction 200 million years ago–and why other reptiles did not survive to see the Jurassic. Watch to learn more.

Human Population Through Time (Updated in 2023) #datavisualization

American Museum of Natural History 2023-08-13 | It took most of human history for our population to reach 1 billion—and just over 200 years to reach 8 billion. But growth has begun slowing, as women have fewer babies on average. When will our global population peak? And how can we minimize our impact on Earth’s resources, even as we approach 10 billion?

What is a Tree of Life?

American Museum of Natural History 2023-08-11 | A phylogenetic tree, also known as a cladogram, is a diagram that proposes how different types of living things are related. If you follow the lines connecting any two groups on a tree, you'll get an idea of how closely related they are. Tree of Life diagrams are phylogenetic trees that propose what are the evolutionary relationships for all species of life. Different software programs allow scientists to build Trees of Life in different arrangements so they can better understand how species are related.

The Future of Energy | 2023 Isaac Asimov Memorial Debate

American Museum of Natural History 2023-04-01 | What will fuel the future of civilization? Major advances in energy production, and the urgency of the climate change crisis, are re-shaping the conversation about what we use to power our world: fossil fuels, wind turbines, hydroelectric, solar panels, nuclear fission and nuclear fusion.

With the recent breakthrough at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) National Ignition Facility, nuclear fusion has emerged as a leading candidate. Many see the ability to harness nuclear energy as a clear positive for reducing our impact on global climate, while some are skeptical of its practicality and safety for everyday use.

Searching for Bat Fossils in Colombia

American Museum of Natural History 2022-09-30 | Big animals like dinosaurs make big fossils–but how do scientists find fossils of small animals like bats and rodents? Join a Museum bat biologist on an expedition to Colombia as the team looks for fossils the size of a grain of rice.

#Fossils #Paleontology #Colombia #Desert

In June 2022, Museum Curator Nancy Simmons and colleagues traveled to the La Venta region of Colombia–a site world-famous for revealing a detailed paleontological history of New World primates and bats. Since these fossils are tiny, the researchers have to use different methods than paleontologists who look for big animals like mammoths or dinosaurs. The fossils may be small, but what they reveal could be key to understanding how bats evolved such incredible diversity in the present day. Watch to learn more!

Cave Bear Facts!

American Museum of Natural History 2022-09-20 | This fearsome fossil is Ursus spelaeus, a cave bear that lived 14,000 years ago.

Cave bears, although related to the largest living bears the Arctic, lived only in Europe. Cave finds in the Alps are evidence that the bears’ habitat extended up to altitudes of 6,300 feet. Most of the tens of thousands of remains found are of young and old animals that died during hibernation. Skull accumulations and depictions in cave paintings show that the bears were important to Ice Age humans.

一场大流行如何结束？

American Museum of Natural History 2022-07-13 | 当一种疾病传播到世界许多地区并同时感染许多人时，就会发生大流行，就像 2020 年的 COVID-19 那样。那么，我们如何才能阻止像 COVID-19 这样的大流行呢？我们可以实施戴口罩、保持身体距离以及最重要的疫苗等措施，所有这些都切断了病毒传播的途径。

#大流行 #地方病 #疫苗 #遏制 #COVID19

疫苗可减少感染、住院和死亡，并有助于实现社区免疫。随着时间的推移，像 COVID-19 这样的疾病可能会成为地方病——总是存在于人群中，但一旦获得高水平的社区免疫力，就会很少传播。大流行的结束也可能取决于特定疾病的表现方式。病毒 SARS-CoV-1 是一种与 SARS-CoV-2（导致 COVID-19）密切相关的冠状病毒，会迅速引起严重症状，并且个体在出现症状之前不会传染。它在 2003 年的传播在六个月内通过隔离和隔离措施被阻止。

该视频由多媒体记者吴玫颖讲述。

Manhattanhenge 2022 Tips From AMNH

American Museum of Natural History 2022-07-11 | Four evenings a year, the brick, steel, and asphalt of Manhattan's cityscape take part in a unique alignment of metropolis and cosmos. The rays of the setting sun align perfectly with Manhattan's street grid—framed by skyscrapers and creating a breathtaking wash of illumination along the cross streets. Frederick P. Rose Hayden Planetarium Director Neil deGrasse Tyson first noted the phenomenon more than a decade ago and coined the term "Manhattanhenge."
