PIX4632280: La Terre vue par satellite - Flying over 700 km above the Earth onboard the Terra satellite, MODIS provides an integrated tool for observing a variety of terrestrial, oceanic, and atmospheric features of the Earth. The land and coastal ocean portions of these images are based on surface observations collected from June through September 2001 and combined, or composited, every eight days to compensate for clouds that might block the sensor's view of the surface on any single day. Two different types of ocean data were used in these images: shallow water true color data, and global ocean color (or chlorophyll) data. Topographic shading is based on the GTOPO 30 elevation dataset compiled by the U.S. Geological Survey's EROS Data Center. MODIS observations of polar sea ice were combined with observations of Antarctica made by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's AVHRR sensor - - the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer / Bridgeman Images

PIX4635895: Most of the area of the southern Milky Way covered by this picture never sets for those of us who live at southern latitudes south on -30 degrees. The main constellations here are Centaurus, Crux and Carina, containing some of the most interesting, beautiful and bizzare astronomical objects, including the nearest stars. Alpha Centauri is at lower left and with its companion, beta points (more or less) to the Southern Cross, which in turn lies alongside the Coalsack, one of the nearest dust clouds. Further along the Milky Way is the astonishing Carina nebula, which is home to eta Carinae, probably the most massive star known, and a prime candidate for the next Galactic supernova. It is in Carina that the Sagittarius arm of our galaxy curves sharply away from us, so we see deep into a rich star-forming region.: The Lactee Way from Centaur to Carene - Souther Milky Way form Centaurus to Carina / Bridgeman Images

PIX4662477: Sarcosuchus & crocodiles compared - The Sarcosuchus or Sarcosuchus imperator was a reptile of the order of crocodilians that was between 11 and 14 metres long and weighed nearly 10 tonnes. He lived about 110 million years ago in the cretace. It was one of the biggest crocodiles that existed on Earth. It is here compared to a Crocodylus porosus, on the left, and a Gavialis gangeticus, on the right. An adult crocodyliform reptile of the genus Sarcosuchus from 110 million years ago is compared to a modern saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) on the left and a modern gharial (Gavialis gangeticus) on the right. The Sarcosuchus is about 40 feet long and weighs 10 tons* while the saltwater crocodile is 20 feet long and weighs 2 tons and the gharial is 20 feet long and weighs about 350 pounds The saltwater crocodile is currently the largest of all living reptiles, as well as the largest terrestrial and riparian predator in the world, while the gharial, aka fish-eating crocodile, is the long-living and most aquatic of all modern crocodiles. Both modern crocodiles have been extant in their current forms for about 50 million years, though sadly the gharial is critically endangered with less than 300 known living individuals today. / Bridgeman Images

PIX4662619: Caudipteryx and Peacock -Comparison - Caudipteryx and peacock compared - Caudipteryx compares a current peacock (Pavo cristatus). Caudipteryx is an extended genus of theropod dinosaur in the oviraptorosaur family. Maybe Caudipteryx was omnivorous. He lived 100 to 130 million years ago. It was two metres long, 60 centimetres high and a weight of 15 kilograms. An adult theropod dinosaur of the genus Caudipteryx from 125 million years ago is compared to a modern adult peacock (Pavo cristatus). Both the Caudipteryx and peacock are about 30 inches tall.* Values are estimates only based upon available paleontological data / Bridgeman Images
