"Today we are learning
to cope with extreme weather, from Category
Five hurricanes to devastating tsunamis,"
said Dr. Carolyn Sumners, director of
the Houston Museum of Natural Science's
Burke Baker Planetarium. "The Dinosaur
Prophecy examines the deaths of these
dominant and ferocious creatures, which
tell of the Earth's enormous power and
potential for dramatic and devastating
change. Each disaster that affected the
dinosaurs is a warning for human survival."
Never before have so many types of dinosaurs
come to life in full-dome immersive reality.
