Tellus Science Museum in Georgia unveils the first fully accurate life-size mount of Deinosuchus schwimmeri, a 31-foot Late Cretaceous crocodile long suspected to prey on dinosaurs, built from fossil evidence and high-resolution 3D scans after decades of Dr. David Schwimmer’s research; the exhibit educates visitors and aids paleontologists in understanding the predator's anatomy and ecosystem.
The California Science Center in Los Angeles is preparing the retired space shuttle Endeavour for a unique vertical display, mimicking its launch pad arrangement. Endeavour will be shrink-wrapped to protect it from construction debris as it is moved out of its current pavilion for the "Go for Stack" campaign. The exhibit will also feature the external tank ET-94 and solid rocket boosters. The tank lift is scheduled for an overnight operation on January 11, with Endeavour's move and lift to follow. The shuttle will remain covered until the new Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center's construction is complete.
The space shuttle Endeavour and its external tank are set to begin their final journey to the California Science Center in Los Angeles, where they will be featured in a new museum wing, the Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center. The external tank will be moved and lifted into a vertical position to be attached to solid rocket boosters, and Endeavour will follow suit by the end of the month. This will mark the first time a shuttle is assembled vertically outside of a NASA or Air Force facility. The entire process will be streamed online, and the exhibit is part of a $400 million project that pays homage to Southern California's aerospace legacy.
