Doedicurus and Eremotherium - Doedicurus clavicaudatus is a glyptodon, a giant tattoo, that lived during pleistocene until 11,000 years ago. It was three metres long and weighed two tons. Behind it is an eremotherium. Prehistoric glyptodonts of the genus Doedicurus graze on grassy plains 25,000 years ago in what is today South America. In the background is a giant ground sloth of the genus Eremotherium. With a turtle-like shell five feet tall and weighing over two tons, Doedicurus was the largest known glyptodontid, an extinct family of heavy-armored herbivores related to modern armadillos. Doedicurus carried a large spiked tail that could have helped protect it from large predators and other Doedicurus. Eremotherium was a Megatheriid that grew to 20 feet long and weighed up to three tons

Brontotheres and birds - Brontotherium with birds - Artist's view of Brontotheres (Brontotherium) in a landscape of South Dakota 35 million years ago. Brontotherium wander the lush Late Eocene landscape of South Dakota 35 million years ago. Modern rhinoceroses have a symbiotic relationship with birds (variously known as oxpeckers or tick birds) that eat parasites they find on the rhino's skin and noisily warn of danger. No doubt similar symbiotic relationships existed between birds and the megafauna of the Eocene

Paraceratherium and child - Paraceratherium and child - A female Paraceratherium and her little seen 30 million years ago in northwestern China. The Paraceratherium was a gigantic terrestrial mammal nearly six metres high and weighing 20 tons. Apparently to modern Rhinoceros, it disappeared 23 million years ago. A Paraceratherium mother grazes on leaves and twigs of a poplar tree 30 million years ago during the Rupelian Stage of the Oligocene Epoch in northwest China. Paraceratherium is believed to be the largest mammal ever to have walked the Earth. Adult Paraceratherium are estimated to have been 18 ft tall at the shoulder with a maximum raised head height of 26 ft. They may have weighed as much as 20 tons. Related to modern rhinoceroses, Paraceratherium became extinct about 23 million years ago

Plaque de la rue Cassini in Paris - Street Plaque in Paris - Rue du 14eme arrondissement de Paris, in tribute to the Italian astronomer Jean - Dominique Cassini (1625 - 1712), naturalise French in 1673. Attrained to France by Colbert in 1669, he became the first director of the Paris Observatory in 1671, at the request of Louis XIV. In 1665, he discovered Jupiter's Grande Tache Rouge and determined the rotation speeds of Venus, Mars and Jupiter. From 1671 he discovered 4 satellites around Saturn, as well as a separation in the rings, which today bears his name (division of Cassini). In 1673, he made the first precise measurement of the distance from Earth to Sun, thanks to a transit of Venus. Rue Cassini, street sign.

Tyndall Glacier, Chile - Tyndall Glacier, Chile - The Tyndall Glacier in Torres del Paine National Park in Chile, observed from the International Space Station in November 2007. Tyndall Glacier is located in the Torres del Paine National Park in Chile. This glacier, which has a total area of 331 square kilometers and a length of 32 kilometers (based on 1996 measurements), begins in the Patagonian Andes Mountains to the west and terminates in Lago Geikie. The digital astronaut photograph taken in november 2007 records visible light in red, green, and blue wavelengths (true color). The Tyndall Glacier terminus has retreated significantly during the past 17 years. Significant ice loss was also observed earlier this year at Grey Glacier, about 30 kilometers to the north - northeast, suggesting both glaciers are responding similarly to regional changes in temperature and precipitation. A medial moraine is visible in the center of the glacier, extending along its length (top image, center left). Moraines - - accumulations of soil and rock debris - - form along the edges of a glacier as it flows downhill across the landscape (much like a snowplow builds ridges of snow along the roadside). Glaciers flowing downslope through adjacent valleys merge when they encounter each other, and debris entrained along their sides becomes concentrated in the central portion of the new combined ice mass, much as small streams join to form a river.Crevasse fields are also visible in the image. The crevasse - - small, but potentially quite deep fissures - - form as a result of stress between slower - and faster - moving ice within the glacier. Crevasse fields on Tyndall Glacier are most evident near rock promontories extending into the glacier; these rock outcrops cause the ice to slow as it flows around the obstruction

Great Barrier Reef in Australia from satellite - The Great Barrier Reef in Australia from satellite - The Great Barrier Reef is the largest coral reef in the world, extending over 2000 km off Queensland, Australia. Satellite image obtained by Terra satellite on 8 August 2004. The Great Barrier Reef arches over 2000 kilometers along the northeast coast of Australia. The white calcium carbonate that coats the coral reflects light, making the water above the reef appear bright blue from space. This phenomenon allows the reef to be visible in satellite images, such as this one, acquired by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on Nasa's Terra satellite on August 8, 2004
