  • At the Science Museum in Dallas, Texas, school children watch the animated robot dinosaurs Apatosauruses (half size, made by Dinamation International) swing their heads close to them. Dinamation International, a California-based company, makes a collection of robotic dinosaurs. The dinosaurs are sent out in traveling displays to museums around the world. The dinosaur's robotic metal skeleton is covered by rigid fiberglass plates, over which is laid a flexible skin of urethane foam. The plates and skin are sculpted and painted to make the dinosaurs appear as realistic as possible. The creature's joints are operated by compressed air and the movements controlled by computer.

  • Covarelli, with his prize-winning Koi and previously won trophies at his home in California. Koi are a variety of the common carp, Cyprinus carpio. Today Koi are bred in nearly every country and considered to be the most popular fresh-water ornamental pond fish. They are often referred to as being "living jewels" or "swimming flowers". If kept properly, koi can live about 30-40 years. Some have been reportedly known to live up to 200 years. The Koi hobbyists have bred over 100 color varieties. Every Koi is unique, and the patterns that are seen on a specific Koi can never be exactly repeated. The judging of Koi at exhibitions has become a refined art, which requires many years of understanding the relationship between color, pattern, size and shape, presentation, and a number of other key traits. Prize Koi can cost several thousand dollars  USA. MODEL RELEASED.  USA. MODEL RELEASED.

This specimen is 4 meters in height. Mammuthus columbi (Columbian mammoth) was a giant elephant-like mammal, which roamed temperate parts of North America more than 10,000 years ago, when it became extinct. This species was an important later relative of the woolly mammoth of Europe and Siberia. These well-preserved bones of Mammuthus columbi were discovered in Lincoln County, Nebraska, in 1922, a site famous for its fossils. The skeleton was assembled in 1933. 1992.

  • Antipodean dinosaur hunting. Paleontologist Tom Rich holds the skull (in his right hand) and part of the tail of a fossil hypsolophodontid. This was a small dinosaur, about the size of a large chicken, living in the Cretaceous Period about 100 million years BP (before present). The specimen was found at Dinosaur Cove, southern Australia. Examination of the skull indicates that the creature had a large cerebral optic lobe, which suggests that it had some capacity for adapting to darkness. This becomes relevant when considering that it would have lived between 65 and 80 degrees south latitude, and would therefore have had to endure some length of permanent night in winter. Dinosaur Cove is the world's first mine developed specifically for paleontology ?normally the scientists rely on commercial mining to make the excavations. The site is of particular interest as the fossils found date from about 100 million years ago, when Australia was much closer to the South Pole than today. MODEL RELEASED [1989]

  • Application of virtual reality computer systems in the experimental design of novel drugs (molecular modeling). Russ Taylor docking drug and protein with force feedback robot arm. This system allows chemists to not only see whether two molecules might fit together but allows them to feel how well they do. The force-feedback robot grip lets the chemist rotate a simulated drug and fit it into a protein molecule. The computer calculates electrostatic forces & other parameters concerned with the probability of a reaction occurring & feeds this information back to the robot grip, so the designer may feel how smoothly or otherwise the reaction is proceeding.

The town has tourist attractions around the theme of UFO's. It was near Roswell on 2 July 1947 that UFO sightings were reported during a thunderstorm. Strange wreckage was found in a field and when the impact site was located, a UFO craft and alien bodies were allegedly found and an autopsy conducted. On 8 July 1947, the Roswell Daily Record announced the capture of a flying saucer. The official explanation was that it was a crashed weather balloon. Many Roswell inhabitants, however, believe that aliens had arrived. (1997)

  • Titan Missile Museum, Green Valley, Arizona. When the SALT Treaty called for the de-activation of the 18 Titan missile silos that ring Tucson, volunteers at the Pima Air Museum asked if one could be retained for public tours.
