Cosmic Collisions

The Cosmic Collisions exhibit at the Museum of Natural History is a bit steep in price, but the cost is worth the experience. Surrounded by flaming comets, exploding stars, and emerging galaxies it is easy to forget that you are sitting in little more than a 3 dimensional movie theater with suspiciously comfortable chairs. Observe the truth in what feels like a science fiction screening by journeying through the history of the known Universe. Explore this unique look into the proposed beginning of planets and stars via a circular room with a mesmerizing display projected across the entire dome ceiling. Strap in. As soon as the lights turn off and the ceiling turns on you are no longer a New Yorker navigating your way through the nearest subway: you become an astronaut navigating your way through both space and time.
