Tonight's forecast? Shooting stars. 💫

The Perseid meteor shower peaks tonight, meaning you could see up to 100 meteors per hour under dark skies.

This annual meteor shower happens as Earth passes through debris left behind by Comet Swift-Tuttle. While the comet won't return until 2125, its trail crosses Earth's orbit every year, giving us this spectacular show.

For the best view, head somewhere away from city lights and look up from 2-6 am.

Miss it? No worries, you can still explore the wonders of space in our Expanding Universe Hall! 🔭

Curious what our paleontologists and preparators have been working on lately? 💭

These are a Columbian mammoth's atlas and axis — the first two bones in its neck. Collected in the 1980s, these bones are much wider, thicker, and robust than those of modern elephants.

Columbian mammoths had much larger heads and enormous twisting tusks that could reach up to 16 feet long, so they needed an incredibly strong neck to support all that weight.

Did you know: you can watch our team process, clean, and prepare fossils like this one in real time during your visit? 👀 See it all in the Paleo Lab on the fourth floor!
