Philadelphia, Pennyslvania
Philadelphia’s Mütter Museum holds a unique treasure: slices of Albert Einstein’s brain. After his death in 1955, Einstein’s brain was preserved for scientific study, and several slices found their way to the museum, where they are now displayed for public viewing.
Philadelphia has an
otherworldly claim to fame with its possession of trees grown from seeds that
journeyed to the moon. In 1975, as part of the Apollo 14 mission, astronaut
Stuart Roosa carried hundreds of tree seeds to lunar orbit, later germinating
them back on Earth. Today, these “moon trees” stand as a living a symbol of our
spectacular human and scientific achievements.
