At the AMNH on dads b-day

So, Today it was my dads b-day. We went to the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH). We saw two movies: Born To Be Wild & Journey To The Stars.

Born To Be Wild is about 2 adults. One of them lives in Borneo and the other in Kenya. The one that lives in Kenya takes care of orphan elephants, raises them and when they are adults, she returns them to the wild. Wild animals are not good to stay with humans for ever. The woman in Borneo takes care of orphaned Uracotangs. They both give their animals a second chance in life.

The Journey To The Stars is about how the universe began. We saw how the sun was born many billion years ago and how the solar wind that escapes and reaches the earth. We watched this show in the Hayden Planetarium. If you want to learn more about astronomy, visit the AMNH kids site.
