PIX4583689: The disappearance of the dinosaurs - Artist view - Tertiary dawn - Artist view - Artist view of the impact of the asteroid responsible for the disappearance of dinosaurs, about 65 million years ago.

PIX4607592: Gravitational Waves - Gravitational Waves: Two colliding neutron stars create a gravitational wave that spreads over the space-time fabric. Artist's impression of two neutron stars - the compact remnants of what were once massive stars - spiralling towards each other just before merging. The collision of these dense, compact objects produced gravitational waves - fluctuations in the fabric of spacetime - that were detected by the LIGO/Virgo collaboration on 17 August 2017., Dixon, Don (b.1951) / Bridgeman Images

PIX4583688: Impact of an asteroid on the Yucatan - Yucatan impact - Artist view - Artist view of the impact of the asteroid that would have fallen on the Yucatan peninsula about 65 million years ago.

A fine layer of clay, rich in the element iridium - more concentrated in meteorites than in terrestrial rocks - marks the geological boundary between the Cretaceous and Tertiary eras. This clay layer is believed to have precipitated out of a plant-blanketing cloud of dust that was ejected into the atmosphere by the impact and subsequent fires. The dust darkened and cooled the earth so much that many species became extinct, Dixon, Don (b.1951) / Bridgeman Images
PIX4645730: Mission New Worlds: The New Worlds mission is a space mission proposal being studied by NASA. Its concept is based on the association of a space telescope with a large occulter (starshade) which places in space a long distance from it (several tens of thousands of kilometres) and designed to block the light of the central star in order to observe its exoplanets. Observations could be made with an existing space telescope, such as the James-Webb Space Telescope (JWST) once launched. A space telescope observes planets orbiting a distant star whose glare has been blocked by a flower-shaped screen the size of a football field. In reality, the starshade would be almost as far from the telescope as the moon is from earth, Dixon, Don (b.1951) / Bridgeman Images
PIX4633119: Collision between the Andromede Galaxy and the Lactee Way - Dead Earth far future - In several billions of years, the Sun will have aneantit all life on Earth. Yet if a life form persists, it will then witness the collision between the Andromede galaxy and our lactee path, creating a wave of star formation in the sky. Bilions of years hence, the sun will swell, warm, and boil away earth's oceans, transforming our once - verdant world into a desiccated wastleand. Whatever intelligent beings might exist then may gaze over the salt flats of extinct seas at a cosmic spectacle, the slow - motion collision between our Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy, which will trigger a wave of star formation, Dixon, Don (b.1951) / Bridgeman Images

PIX4629665: La planete Neuf - Illustration - Planet Nine - Artwork: Vue d'artiste de la planete Neuf. The Ninth Planet is a hypothetical planet of the Solar System indirectly recorded, the existence of which is suggested by observing the orbits of several transneptunian objects. This planet would be gaseous, similar to Uranus or Neptune. A hypothetical planet in the outer reaches of the solar system orbits more than 700 times farther from the sun than earth does. A Super-earth, with an estimated mass of 10 Earths (approximately 5,000 times the mass of Pluto), a diameter two to four times that of Earth, and a highly elliptical orbit with an orbital period of approximately 15,000 years, the planet is shown as a ringed ice giant whose night side is illuminated by lightning and aurorae powered by galactic cosmic rays., Dixon, Don (b.1951) / Bridgeman Images
