and baird was establishing the smithsonian as a world-class scientific institution. so both men took a little bit time off during the civil war hayden didn't really want to go to war but sort of with forced into it in 1862 and served as a physician because he had a medical degree because that's how you actually did the coursework that would enable you to become a geologist during this period of time so he went off to the war came back in 1865 and then started as i noted to lead to surveys on his own. at this point yellowstone really was one of the only unmapped places in the nation. as i noted before when we had the poll yellowstone is hard to get to now it was even harder to get to thanally before 1869 with a completion of the transcontinental railroad. there were some amateur explorers who were getting in there though. there had been some scouts and some trappers who had gone into yellowstone and came out with stories of you know exploding geysers and bubbling upon bubbling streams and mud volcanoes and cliffs made of glass and nobody believed them right because sc

four years after the smithsonian's establishment. he brought with him to entire railroad cars of specimens, including 4000 bird skins that he had collected himself during his early life. this served as the basis of the smithsonian's collections in this early period. he was a tremendous logistical manager and networker his. greatest talent was identifying and collecting scientists. hayden had written to baird in 1853, very early on in his career, asking for advice and for funding for a fossil collecting trip to the upper missouri river badlands, which geologist were already calling the bone yard floor it's amazing collection of fossils and distribution across the fossil record. these of course were lakota lands. we will talk about that a little bit later. k fossils andspencer baird wrotk immediately, sent him some money and some advice about how to collect and pack fossils. of course, in return as for several of the specimens for the smithsonian's collections. this began a multi decade friendship and partnership, hayden was establishi

i heard from two amazing curators at the smithsonian. will they michael and nancy burkah and after about a year work? reckoning with remembrance opened in flag hall the grand mall side entrance of the national museum of american history one of the first questions a lot of people ask me about this exhibit is why is it here? because if you know your smithsonian landscape, you know that right next door to the national museum of american history. is the national museum of african-american history and culture, so so why isn't this there? a couple reasons first they have a till exhibit and it's amazing right so they don't need another one. but more than that. the smithsonian knows the demographics of their visitors they know. that people go to the african-american museum to see a certain side of american history and those who don't want that side of american history come to the sort of they come to the american history museum which tends towards the patriotic and the sort of the rah-rah go america, right as you can see in the background of thi

on bowed by this violence, the smithsonian and the minneapolis museum are transforming the signs once again by contextualizing designs, they're using them to tell a new story about racism that stretches from 1955 to the present day in these exhibits. the sign making citizens of mississippi join as the heroes of till's story. when we remember that he opened her son's casket, letting the world see what racism had done to her bike riding boy, it is not difficult to understand the sign building and the sign replacing of tallahatchie county as a fulfillment of her dream. so what's the lesson here? as i tell my students at the university of kansas, memorials are the new lunch counters. in the 1960s, lunch counters were iconic sites of racial agitation, for a moment they were prized number one in the fight for civil rights. it was at a lunch counter that bernard and others had detergent poured down their backs. it was at a lunch counter that john lewis, james devil were nearly suffocated. it was at a lunch counter where john was attacked with brass knuckles. were others were attacked with co

bend. 26000 light years from earth to sarah isaacson is the nasa einstein fellow at the harvard in smithsonian center for astor, physics. she was part of the team that captured the image of the black hole. and i asked her to explain more about exactly what we're seeing here. right. so the black hole itself, we don't see, but what we see if the shadow cast on it on all the swirling gas that goes around it. and the bottle itself had all the gas swirling around it that it eats up or decked out. and this gas, because it's rotating very rapidly around the black hole, it very, very hot and it radiates and it radiates radio waves that we observe. but the e, it's t, and so these radio waves create this glow about we see around the black hole. and the black hole is actually inside this dark patch, which we call the shadow that a calf on to this swirling high gas is fascinating is especially just to think that radio waves, we're taking those to make an an image. do we know what is inside the black hole? what will ever be able to actually look inside with, you know, the technology that we have? right? no

sarah is own, is the nasa einstein fellow at the harvard and smithsonian center for astrophysics . and part of the team that captured the image of this black hole. and she began by explaining how it's possible to see a black hole. so the black hole itself, we don't see, but what we see is the shadow, it casts on it on all the swirling gas that goes around it to the black will itself have all these gas swirling around it that it eats up or it decks out and discuss because it's rotating very rapidly around the black hole. it's very, very hot and it radiates and it radiates radio waves that we observe with the e t. and so these radio waves create this glow that we see around the black hole. and this black hole is actually inside this dark patch, which we call the shadow that it casts on to this swirling height, gas. so the black hole at the center of our galaxy has had indirect evidence that it was there for a while. and in 2020 the nobel prize in physics was partly awarded to studies of orbits of stars in our galactic center. that had very peculiar orbits around this very dark and hi
