Science Questions

Unfortunately, we can no longer answer general science questions. We encourage you to find an answer at one of these sites:

• Cornell's Ask an Astronomer
• McDonald Observatory's Ask an Astronomer
• NASA's Ask an Astrophysicist

You may also call the Hayden Planetarium Astronomy Question and Answer Hotline at 212-769-5901.

Astrophysics Career Questions

If you have a question about a career in astronomy and astrophysics, please email us with your question. It may take some time to reply, but we will try to reply to all career-related questions. Please do not inquire about internships or mentoring here at the museum. Museum internships are available through:

• The Museum's Teach & Learn site
• Our REU Program
• Or, more locally via the NYC Science Research Mentoring Consortium

Museum Questions

Please direct general museum questions (tickets, upcoming programs, hours, or visiting the museum), to the AMNH Contact page. We are a department of scientists and cannot answer these questions.
