Now through the end of May 2021, the Houston Museum of Natural Science has partnered up with the Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center to become a pop-up blood donation destination. Although not all of us may feel comfortable with donating our bodies to science, as seen in our latest special exhibit, a pint of blood […]
Mercury makes a rare appearance in the southwest at dusk. Pick a site with a clear southwestern horizon, and look right above the point of sunset. You can watch Mercury pass Saturn (on the 9th) and Jupiter (on the 10th and 11th) as it enters the evening sky. It returns to the Sun’s glare by […]
The Houston Museum of Natural Science is always a magical place during the holiday season, and we’re not just saying that because, you know, we work here. There’s pretty lights all over, fragrant Christmas trees in the Grand Hall, and Trains Over Texas buzzing nearby. If we’re lucky it’s usually hoodie weather and the museum […]
On December 21, 2020, the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn appear only one tenth of one degree apart in our sky. They have not appeared that close since July 10, 1623. Of course, Jupiter is not really next to Saturn. Saturn is in fact about 4.3 astronomical units (AU)–about 400 million miles–behind Jupiter. (One AU […]
Jupiter and Saturn are in the southwest at dusk this month. Look south-southwest in the early evening for the two planets which will be just over 2 degrees apart. You’ll see Jupiter noticeably closer to Saturn each week. By December 21, the two planets will be only six arcminutes (one tenth of one degree) apart in the sky. […]

Do you know of any paleontologist or paleoanthropologist that would be willing to look at a fossil of a human footprint that I have found?

First of all I want to say awesome blog! I had a quick question in which I'd like to ask if you do not mind. I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your thoughts before writing. I have had a difficult time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out. I do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or hints? Kudos!

I don't recommend working for Anita Schiller. Her son made racist comments about black people in a group text that she was a part of. She didn't address his comments until hours later, after I and another group member denounced them. A person who condones racism, especially in their own family, shouldn't be working for the country or be featured on the HMNS blog.

Great to find your blog! Now I know what those little critters are. I just swept up heaps of them. What you said makes sense. I live next to a forest and we have had a lot of rain and yes, they were all dead. Much appreciated. I hope your blog is still going.
