Hayden Planetarium Space Show
Cosmic Collisions
Narrated by Robert Redford
• Immersed in a dazzling virtual reality simulator, you’ll journey into deep space – well beyond the calm face of the night sky - to explore cosmic collisions, hypersonic impacts that drive the dynamic and continuing formation of the universe in the Hayden Planetarium.
IMAX Film
Dinosaurs Alive!
• Computer-generated images bring to life imposing creatures of the Cretaceous and titans of the Triassic that have captivated and mystified us since their fossils were first unearthed in the 19th century. The film follows AMNH paleontologists past and present, and includes rare 1920s footage of Ray Chapman Andrews, the “real” Indiana Jones.
Special Exhibitions
The Butterfly Conservatory
11 October 2008 through 25 May 2009
Mingle with more than 500 live, free-flying tropical butterflies in an enclosed habitat that approximates their natural environment with lush vegetation and live flowering plants. Simulated sunlight and the sound of howler monkeys, parakeets, quetzals, and other species complete the environment.
Lizards & Snakes: Alive!
24 May 2008 through 05 January 2009
Small and shy—or big and fierce? Bright as a jewel—or hardly visible? Four legs? Two legs? No legs at all? When you're talking about lizards and snakes-the squamates-the answer is usually . . . Yes!
This ancient group, whose scientific name is Latin for "scaled," is more diverse than mammals, as old as dinosaurs. And they're almost everywhere: harsh desert to lush rainforest, high in the treetops, beneath the ground. Whatever the environment, one of the 8,000 squamate species on Earth calls it home.
We share the planet, but we often overlook these quiet neighbors. So welcome to the world of squamates, and get ready to be surprised!
