Educators’ Evening: Impact: The End of the Age of Dinosaurs

Now showing at the American Museum of Natural History, *Impact: The End of the Age of Dinosaurs* is a documentary-style presentation focused on the asteroid strike and the cascading changes that followed 66 million years ago. It tracks how evidence is built, from the crater record to the fossil layer that marks a sudden break in deep time. In New York City, its significance is institutional: the museum’s tradition of public science storytelling reframes mass extinction as a solvable historical question, not a mythic event. The plainspoken approach lets the data carry the drama.
