Beyond Planet Earth


For computer savvy students … are you up to the challenge?

Beyond Planet Earth: The Future of Space Exploration, a new exhibition opening at the American Museum of Natural History on November 19, envisions a future when humans explore the next frontier—our solar system and, one day, the Milky Way galaxy. Can you imagine an elevator to the Moon, a lunar habitat, or colonies on Mars? Many scientists believe that one day these are possible.

This is your chance to share your original, out-of-this-world take on the future of space exploration—in three minutes or less. Where will we go? What will we discover? Submit your video by November 3, 2011 and we'll choose ONE winner.

Join the Beyond Planet Earth Video Contest group to submit your video and access a collection of space visualizations and video clips from the Museum's archives, available for use in your video:
