TEC4623973: The Palais de Tokyo from New York Avenue in Paris. Architects: Andre Aubert, Paul Viard, Jean Claude Dondel and Marcel Dastugue, 1937. Built for the 1937 World Exhibition, the International Exhibition of Arts and Techniques in the Modern City. The Palais de Tokyo is a small part of the Luxembourg Museum and the Peure Palais too narrow to accommodate municipal collections. It owes its name to the Tokyo wharf, now New York Avenue. / Bridgeman Images

TEC4623978: The Musee Galliera, 14 avenue du President Wilson, Paris 16th. Construction 1878-1894. Architect Leon Ginain (1825-1898). In order to give the City of Paris her art collections, the Duchess of Galliera built a museum in 1894, a pastiche of the Italian Renaissance. But for political reasons, it is the city of Genes (Italy) that houses the guilt and paintings while Paris remains the owner of this museum. / Bridgeman Images

PIX4624313: Pluto - Hubble's Full Photomap of Pluto - The dwarf planet Pluto seen by the Hubble space telescope. These images, recomposed by computer from cliches obtained in 2002 and 2003, are not sufficiently precise to show Pluto's surface in detail but reveal color differences. This is the most detailed view to date of the entire surface of the dwarf planet Pluto, as constructed from multiple NASA Hubble Space Telescope photographs taken from 2002 to 2003. Hubble's view isn't sharp enough to see craters or mountains, if they exist on the surface, but Hubble reveals a complex - looking and variegated world with white, dark - orange, and charcoal - black terrain. The overall color is believed to be a result of ultraviolet radiation from the distant Sun breaking up methane that is present on Pluto's surface, leaving behind a dark, molasse - colored, carbon - rich residue. The center disk (180 degrees) has a mysterious bright spot that is unusually rich in carbon monoxide frost. This region will be photographed in the highest possible detail when Nasa's New Horizons probe flies by Pluto in 2015. The Hubble images are a few pixels wide. But through a technique called dithering, multiple, slightly offset pictures can be combined through computer - image processing to synthesize a higher - resolution view than could be seen in a single exposure. This series of pictures took four years and 20 computers operating continuously and simultaneously to accomplish / Bridgeman Images

Since August 2006, Pluto is now called 134340 Pluto and is no longer considered a planet but designed as a dwarf planet. / Bridgeman Images

PIX4632742: The First Life Forms on Earth - Eoarchean Earth - 3.8 billion years ago, 770 million years after the formation of the Earth, the first life forms appeared as a unicellular organism. Bacteries and archeobacteries (archaea) began to populate the Earth's surface while the atmosphere was still filled with volcanic gases and probably without oxygen. In this illustration, these micro-organisms came out of the ocean to attach themselves to the rock remains of a caldera, bringing colour to this monochrome landscape. 770 million years after the formation of the Earth - - 3.8 billion years ago - - the first life may have appeared in the form of simple, single - celled organisms. Bacteria and archaea may have even found a way to populate the otherwise sterile and inhospitable surface. The atmosphere would likely have consisted solely of gases vented by volcanoes: carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen, methane, hydrogen, methane, ammonia, and water vapor. In this image, a variety of single - celled organisms have ventured out of the ocean and onto the rocky remains of two volcanic calderas, adding color to an otherwise bleak and monochromatic landscape. While the lack of breathable oxygen would be anathema to complex life forms like ourselves, this primitive atmosphere was a rich source of sustenance for these terrestrial vanguards / Bridgeman Images

On the left is a four - foot - tall Rhacophyton ceratangium, an ancient shrub that is thought to be one of the earliest ferns. On the horizon are more Rhacophyton, along with towering Archaeopteris and Lycopsids in various stages of growth / Bridgeman Images

PIX4632872: Carboniferous fauna and flora - Calamites & Meganeura - Meganeura, giant dragonflies whose wingspan could exceed 80 cm, fly among calamites and asterophyllites. Giant Meganeura, resembling and related to present - day dragonflies, flutter between Calamites and Asterophyllites in a Carboniferous scene from over 300 million years ago. Now extinct, Calamites and Asterophyllites are related to today's horsetails, though they grew much larger. The Calamites resembled modern “” Christmas tree”” conifers, while the Asterophyllites looked somewhat like modern Thuja (arborvitae) / Bridgeman Images
