No! It's some woman who sounds like the Amtrak automated phone system! I noticed this maybe a year or two ago; it upsets me every time I think about it. There was nothing quite like Leonard Nimoy reciting "Who Put the Bomp?" in tectonic surroundsound. Besides, as the pre-show used to tell visitors, "He grew up just a few blocks from here." I have no idea where the new voice came from, but unless she turns out to be a famous astrophysicist at MIT who just sounds unfortunately like a speech synthesizer, I doubt she could be as appropriate to the Museum of Science as Nimoy.

See response to cucumberseed. What do you prefer about Shatner?

Agreed. He's a cultural institution.
