The Museum’s Apatosaurus, collected in the late 1890s, was the first sauropod dinosaur ever mounted anywhere. Museum preparators labored over the specimen for years before it finally went on view in 1905. These towering dinosaurs (the Museum’s specimen is 86 feet in length) are among the biggest terrestrial animals in the history of the Earth, and could weigh up to 20 tons. Apatosaurus was a herbivore, and likely ate up to 880 pounds of food per day.

Physicists have finally figured out why these massive ice discs start spinning on their own

New physics from a 100-year-old mystery.

New physics doesn’t always come from the recesses of space or the bowels of the Large Hadron Collider. Sometimes, you just need some cameras, a nickel bead, a magnet, and Petri dish popsicles.

Every once in a while, someone notices a big disc of ice eerily spinning in a river. These discs can be anywhere from 1 to 200 metres across, and almost everything about them has mystified physicists and environmental scientists for over a century. While it’s thought that this rare natural phenomenon is likely was caused by cold, dense air coming in contact with an eddy in a river, no one’s been able to definitively explain why these giant discs continue to rotate as they melt. Until now.

The most common explanation for the spinning ice discs says that as the discs float along in a river, they’re spun around by eddies - little spinning currents that form when water flows over rocks or into an enclosed space. And while this is this is probably part of what’s happening, it can’t be the whole story.
