Our earth+ whole planetary system are self-sustaining with each one of us—fauna and flora too—are made of stardust. All the signs and wonders demonstrate how only as a community working together with free will that humanity thrives. Imbalance destroys.
We need to use brain and heart together.

PLANETARY SYSTEM IN #AMNH UWS MANHATTAN NYC

If you just want to see the ants at the #AMNH just go around back by 80th st and they are right by the door on the left.

I go back there all the time.

This colony is voracious eating like six mulberry branches a day. They have a whole jungle gym to tire them out.

Walk through the asteroid strike that killed the dinosaurs with American Museum of Natural History’s new ‘Impact’ exhibit

NEW YORK — The American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) in New York City has opened a new exhibition that takes a multidisciplinary perspective on the asteroid strike that ended the Cretaceous period and killed all the non-avian dinosaurs. The exhibit — aptly called “Impact” — chronicles what was, in the words of AMNH curator of paleontology Roger Benson, Earth’s “worst day of the last half-billion years.”

One spring day 66 million years ago, a rock from outer space slammed into what is now the Yucatan Peninsula. The meteor was roughly the size of Mount Everest, and it struck with the force of 10 billion atomic bombs. Nearby forests instantly incinerated as atmospheric temperatures briefly soared to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Many animals, including large dinosaurs, were buried in ash — though some were able to escape by digging underground or diving underwater.

The tremendous impact also flung a mushroom cloud of ash and dust into the atmosphere, eventually shrouding the planet in a cold gloom. Tiny glass beads rained down as far away as Wyoming. At the same time, the impact triggered landslides, earthquakes and tsunamis around the world.

“Um die Ecke” / Around the corner

Digging out a favorite older photo. The Titanosaur fossil (Patagotitan mayorum) at the Museum of Natural History in NYC is 122 feet long and slightly too big for the room — its skull pokes out of the entrance and peers around the corner, looking into the hallway. A dramatic sight to welcome visitors to the museum’s dinosaur galleries. (Panorama shot — tap and zoom in for details.)

We also went to the Museum of Natural History, which is great.

This Teddy guy was onto something, I think.

Super awesome morning at #amnh seeing @paleoross.bsky.social present her thesis dissertation. Insane levels of attention to detail. Really wonderful work developing a new ocean temperature and salinity proxy. 👏🏽 Congratulations Dr. Ong!!! 🙌 #climate #corals

Dr. Emmart was there during my stint working in exhibitions at AMNH. I was building an interactive visualization for Mars, and he helped us by producing these awesome fly throughs at different landmarks on the planet's surface. He'll definitely be missed in NYC, but his retirement sounds awesome
