Meet Apex: the largest Stegosaurus ever discovered

Thought to be the largest and one of the most complete Stegosaurus specimens ever uncovered, Apex is now on view in the Museum’s Kenneth C. Griffin Exploration Atrium. The 150-milion-year-old fossil will not only be on exhibit but will be studied by researchers in the Museum’s Division of Paleontology under the direction of Macaulay Curator Roger Benson.Show More

Haudenosaunee: People of the Longhouse

“This is a profile of the Haudenosaunee, by the Haudenosaunee, [...]

“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.

When is the Next Total Solar Eclipse? #datavisualization

When and where is the next total solar eclipse? Total solar eclipses don’t happen at the same time or the same place regularly, due to the 5-degree offset between the Moon’s orbit around the Earth and the Earth’s orbit around the Sun. But if you’re curious if a future total eclipse will be viewable from your backyard, you can see all the total solar eclipses forecasted for the next 20 years in this video. It’s all beautifully rendered with real data from OpenSpace data visualization software.

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?

The Future of Energy | 2023 Isaac Asimov Memorial Debate

What will fuel the future of civilization? Major advances in energy [...]

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.

#Energy #ClimateChange #NeildeGrasseTyson #AsimovDebate #ScienceDebate #Technology

How will science, engineering, and geopolitics shape how the future of energy unfolds?

Join Neil deGrasse Tyson, the Frederick P. Rose Director of the Hayden Planetarium, and our panel of experts from various sectors on this issue for a compelling discussion about today’s energy landscape and what we can expect in the future.

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.
