PIX4662043: Dilophosaurus - Dilophosaurus amidst Ginkgos - A dilophosaurus (Dilophosaurus) in a ginkgos forest. Dilophosaur is the first known predatory dinosaur, it appeared at the beginning of the Jurassic almost 200 million years ago. Ginkgo appeared 270 million years ago and still exists today. A hungry, carnivorous Dilophosaurus hunts for her next meal in a valley forest of Ginkgos. The Ginkgo first emerged 270 million years ago and it is the oldest species of tree still living today - a “” living””” fossil. It has no close living relative. The Ginkgo is very tolerant of extreme conditions including manmade pollutants, which ironically makes this primeval plant well-suited for today's urban environments / Bridgeman Images

KWE1000818: Oliver Falls in with The Artful Dodger. " Hullo, my covey, what's the row?" said this strange young gentleman to Oliver. " I am very hungry and tired," replied Oliver; the tears standing in his eyes as he spoke. " I have walked a long way. I have been walking these seven days."

PIX4617504: Star cluster IC 1590 in NGC 281 (Cassiopee) - Open cluster and Bok globules in NGC 281 - View of a detail in the center of the nebula NGC 281 in Cassiopee. The brightest stars of the open cluster IC 1590 are visible, accompanied by Bok's blood cells, dark interstellar clouds consisting of gas and dust that absorb light. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). Astronomers have used the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope to study the young open star cluster IC 1590, which is found within the star formation region NGC 281 - - nicknamed the Pacman Nebula due to its resemblance to the famous arcade game character. This image only shows the central part of the nebula, where the brightest stars at the core of the cluster are found, with part of the Pacman's hungry mouth visible as the dark region below. But Pacman isn't gobbling up these stars. Instead, the nebula's gas and dust are being used as raw ingredients to make new stars. However, the stars in IC 1590 are still plotting their escape from the Pacman Nebula, as open clusters are only loosely bound together and the grouping will eventually disperse within a few tens of millions of years. IC 1590 lies about ten thousand light - years from Earth in the constellation of Cassiopeia (The Queen). Through small telescopes the core of the cluster that appears at the top of this picture shows up as a triple star, but the nebula that surrounds it is much fainter and very hard to see / Bridgeman Images
