A NEW DINOSAUR DOOMSDAY EXHIBITION SHOWCASES SURVIVAL AFTER DESTRUCTION.

The article discusses the exhibition "Impact: The End of the Age of Dinosaurs" at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, which explores the catastrophic effects of an asteroid impact that occurred approximately 66 million years ago. The exhibition features life-size models of prehistoric creatures, interactive displays, and a short film detailing the destruction caused by the asteroid, which led to the extinction of about 75 percent of species. It emphasizes the scientific consensus that the asteroid impact, rather than volcanic activity, was the primary cause of this mass extinction event. The exhibit also highlights how life eventually rebounded, leading to the age of mammals, and reassures visitors about current technologies that could potentially prevent a similar disaster in the future.
