Just opened is a brand new exhibit, \u201cBloodsuckers: Legends to Leeches<\/a>.\u201d While this exhibit may sound a little gruesome, it\u2019s a fascinating glimpse into the reality and myths behind some of the world\u2019s most mysterious organisms.<\/p>\n

And, as always, there is some pretty cool research going on behind the scenes at the Field. For instance, it turns out\u00a0the moon is 40 million years older than we thought.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Philipp Heck, the Field\u2019s Robert A. Pritzker Curator for Meteoritics and Polar Studies, made news just a few days ago with this revelation.<\/p>\n

The weather may be getting colder, but that\u2019s the perfect time for a museum visit! Stop by the Field Museum this month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
