American Museum of Natural History.
[ send me this paper ]
(6pp). The Rose Center's permanent exhibits,
detailing the size, scope and growth of the
universe as well as the earth's place within it,
were unveiled in February (2000) inside the new
structure of steel and glass. The seven-story orb
appears to hover next to the museum, and at night
glows with a soft blue light. The center replaces
the old Hayden Planetarium, a New York City
landmark that introduced millions of city kids to
the night sky between 1935 and 1997. Kids of all
ages are still thrilled with the spectrum of
choices: design and exhibits are spectacular.

Animals and Earthquakes
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages. An interesting paper reporting
on the connection between animals and earthquakes. Can animals
actually predict earthquakes days before the fact? And if so,
how? There are many reports of animals behaving strangely just
days before a major earthquake which causes many scientists to
believe that the animals can actually predict what is going to
happen. If this is the case, an interesting question is raised:
is there a way we could use animals’ abilities to give us early
warning of earthquakes? Bibliography lists 5 sources.
