Pont Neuf, Paris. The oldest bridge in Paris. Henry III laid the first stone in 1578. Interrupted between 1588 and 1599 by civil wars, it was not inaugurated until 1607 by Henri IV. (Architect Jacques Androuet du Cerceau, realisation 1578-1604). In 1854 candelabres were installed by Victor Balard.

SLS rocket decollage - Artist concept of SLS launching - Artist view of SLS rocket (Space Launch System), Nasa launcher project to take astronauts into space. September 2011. The Space Launch System, or SLS, will be designed to carry the Orion Multi - Purpose Crew Vehicle, as well as important cargo, equipment and science experiments to Earth's orbit and destinations beyond. In addition, the SLS will serve as a back up for commercial and international partner transportation services to the International Space Station

Astronaut training in parabolic flight - Astronaut training in zero - G - Astronaut Andre Kuipers is training in weightlessness aboard a Russian plane in the Star City, in preparation for his stay aboard the International Space Station (ISS) in April 2004. ESA astronaut Andre Kuipers, from The Netherlands, enjoys weightlessness inside a Russian aircraft performing a parabolic flight at the Gagarin Training Center, also known as Zviezdny Gorodok (“Star City”), near Moscow, as part of his preparation for the DELTA mission to the International Space Station (ISS) in April 2004. Andre Kuipers was launched into space onboard Soyuz TMA - 4 on April 19 with Russian mission commander Gennady Padalka and NASA astronaut Michael Fincke. The spacecraft successfully docked with the ISS two days later. Andre Kuipers then spent eight and a half days onboard the orbital outpost and carried out an extensive experiment programme in the fields of life sciences including physiology, biology and microbiology. His programme also included some physical science, Earth observation and technology experiments as well as education activities. He returned to Earth on April 30 onboard Soyuz TMA - 3 with the former ISS permanent crew, Russian cosmonaut Aleksandr Kaleri and British - born NASA astronaut Michael Foale, who were replaced by Padalka and Fincke

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.

La Colonne Vendome, Place Vendome, the night in Paris. Today's square dates back to 1699 and was designed by Jules Hardouin Mansart (1646-1708). And it was only with the piercing of the Rue de la Paix that the Vendome Column was erected in 1806 by Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) to the glory of the victors of Austerlitz (1805). An admirer of Roman Antiquity, the Emperor took as model the Trajane column raised in Rome and had his statue erected as an imperator by Antoine Chaudet (1763-1810). After the regime changes, Napoleon III (1808-1873) installed a copy of the statue of the Emperor by Augustine Dumont (1801-1884).
