As The Standard writes, “In space, no one can hear you scream,” but at the Natural History Museum, visitors might do just that when they encounter the eerie egg now on display near the entrance to the blockbuster exhibition “Space: Could Life Exist Beyond Earth?” This isn’t just any egg—it’s the iconic prop from the Alien franchise, most recently featured in the gripping new TV series Alien: Earth, which brings the franchise’s terrifying action down to our home planet. Typically, these eggs house the infamous face-hugger: a parasitic creature that latches onto a human host, implants an embryo, and sets the stage for the birth of a Xenomorph—a creature as deadly as it is iconic.
