Berlin Archeopteryx

archeopteryx

The Archeopteryx in Berlin is a beautiful object – aesthetically and scientifically. They have it in a darkened alcove lit from alternating positions so that you can see how much the light influences what you are able to see. I tried to mimic the effect here, though I’ve sped it up quite a bit… suspecting the internet crowds won’t be patient enough to stick around waiting for the lights to change.

edit: forgot to mention how cool it would be to have a UV light station

Where can that Archeoptereyx specimen be seen in Berlin: is it in the “Museum für Naturkunde” or in some place at the “Humboldt University” ????

The museum fuer Natuerkunde… in a shrine-like room right past the sauropod giants.
