A pair of mechanical hands peels a banana at the annual meeting of General Electric Company stockholders in 1951. The hands were normally used to handle radioactive materials in atomic research.

In our new exhibit, you will be able to make your own illusions. Optical illusions trick your eyes into seeing something that isn't really there or appear differently than what it really is. Thankfully, what we see and what we believe are different things! We use our senses to gather information and send it to the brain. This information being received is how we then perceive the world around us. Evolution is what allows us to do this- our brains work quickly to try to piece information together and fill any gaps. This is how we have survived for so long!

Come see some illusions for yourself at the museum this weekend!

Happy Harvest Moon! 🌾🌕

This one is particularly special, with three celestial events occurring at the same time: a partial lunar eclipse, blood moon and super moon! The eclipse will officially begin at 8:41 pm, peak at 10:44 pm and officially end the following day, at 12:47 am. NASA states that this is a rare circumstance; make sure to get a good look!

The Harvest Moon is the full moon that falls closest to the Autumn Equinox. The name derives from farmers' dependence on the moon's natural light for harvesting crops late into the night. This partial lunar eclipse, 8.4% shadowed by Earth, will create a red appearance: the blood moon. The supermoon is the moon's closest point to us in it's orbit, so it will look especially large and magnificent!
