As we enter a new year, we have an opportunity to look at our museum and reflect upon our mission to the public. Because of this, it helps to look at who Mr. Vanderbilt was and what he wanted to do with his life.
#ourmission
Like many people born to America’s elite in the 1800s, William K. Vanderbilt Jr. enjoyed a life of unequaled privilege. Through the shipping and railroad industries, the Vanderbilt Family had amassed one of the largest fortunes in America. With that much money, Willie K. and his family were allowed the luxury to travel and see the world at their leisure. In 1887, Mr. Vanderbilt got an experience that many people could only dream of. Aboard the steamer ship Prince Abbas (first picture), a 9-year-old Willie K. along with his father, mother, and sister Consuelo took a voyage up the Nile River and through Egypt. Willie was even able to see the legendary Great Sphinx and the Pyramids of Giza (second picture).

With a foundation of traveling in his youth, it’s not hard to imagine where Mr. Vanderbilt’s love of the world and its diverse life and cultures could have come from. Follow us as we delve more into Mr. Vanderbilt’s story. #vanderbiltmuseum

In 2021, we will see 12 full moons -- one each month 🌑🌚🌝

This is typical, but not always true: for example, we saw two full moons last October, making 13 total full moons in 2020! 1️⃣3️⃣

Each full moon has a name! These names originate from Native American, North American colonial, and other North American sources. Different groups of people have varying names for each full moon, and the names within each group weren’t always consistent from year to year. The names typically describe a natural occurrence during that month. For example, May’s moon is the Flower Moon -- as the saying goes, “April showers bring May flowers!” 🌸💐🌺

Here’s the date and name of each full moon in 2021:

January 28 - Wolf moon 🐺
February 27 - Snow moon ❄️
March 28 - Worm moon 🪱
April 26 - Pink moon 🎀
May 26 - Flower moon 🌸
June 24 - Honey moon 🍯
July 23 - Thunder moon 🌩
August 22 -- Corn moon 🌽
September 20 -- Harvest moon 🌾
October 20 -- Hunter's moon 🦌
November 19 -- Beaver moon 🦫
December 18 -- Cold moon 🥶

Have you heard of other names for the full moons? Leave a comment to let us know!

Happy National Bird Day from the Vanderbilt Museum

Happy National Bird Day from the Vanderbilt Museum! 🦩🦩

National Bird Day was created to bring awareness to these wonderful creatures and the important role they play in their environments. Mr. Vanderbilt had a love and fascination with birds, and used his museum to educate the public about them and other animals. In fact, one of the first things visitors see when they visit the museum are the two large eagle statues! 🦅🦅

Be sure to check with your local conservation groups to see how you can help keep our bird populations healthy! 🕊🦜🦉🪶

On December 21st, we will be treated to a rare holiday surprise: Jupiter and Saturn will align in what astronomers call a “Great Conjunction,” and many others are calling a “Christmas Star.” #christmasstar ✨

A conjunction occurs when two planets appear close to each other in the sky. The two largest planets in our Solar System form a conjunction every 20 years or so, but they will appear closer together on Monday than any night in the past 800 years. In fact, if you hold out your pinky finger at arm’s length, you will easily block the light from both planets! Although they appear very close from our point of view, Jupiter and Saturn aren’t in danger of crashing into each other: they will still be separated by more than 450 million miles.

To spot this rare astronomical event, look to the southwest horizon on December 21st just after sunset. Jupiter and Saturn are very bright so they will become visible early in the evening, and they don’t “twinkle” like stars do. The two planets will be at their closest around 5:00pm. 🪐

Now, we have to ask for just one more Christmas miracle: a clear sky! 🌌
