Thanks to Sheril who provided us with tickets, a bunch of us Sciblings went to the American Museum of Natural History on Saturday afternoon (pictures under the fold) and saw "Galactic Collision" - a planetarium-style presentation with awesome special effects (no cameras allowed, unfortunately), as well as an exhibit about frogs (difficult to get good pics, but I will choose a few semi-decent ones and post them later).

But . . . but . . . how can they call themselves a real museum without a diorama showing Adam and Eve living with dinosaurs?

Aww... AMNH, I miss you.

I saw "Galactic Collisions" a few weeks ago during my last visit and it was quite impressive. The hypothetical collision of the Milky Way galaxy with another was especially interesting, although I wasn't so sure that such a collision would be so peaceful from the perspective of organisms on any of the planets within those galaxies. Still pretty impressive, though.
