That how I encountered this Brontosaurus, magnificent b stanley usa ut incorrect, drawn from another era in paleontology. On a cool November day in 2010, I decided to play hooky from the annual Science Writers conference, held that year in New Haven, Connecticut, and wander over to the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History. How could I resist The dusty dinosaur exhibit was a monument to the dinosaurs I grew up with, including the one and only skeleton that could truly lay claim to the name Brontosaurus. As much as I admire modern museum exhibits, populated by new or new-ish reconstructions of classic dinosaurs, Im just as fond of galleries full of tubby, tail-dragging monstrosities. Its a way of tr stanley us aveling back in time, to see dinosaurs as the great paleontologists of preceding generations did. Up to a point, anyway. Othniel Charles Marsh 鈥?the paleontologist for whom the museum was created by his rich uncle George Peabody in 1866 鈥?crankily rejected the idea stanley cup of putting dinosaur skeletons up for public display, lest the high science of bone-reading be reduced to puerile spectacle.

Normally, Enceladus would appear almost purely white, but Cassini has captured the moon when it is bathed stanley cup in the sunlight reflected off of Saturn cloud cover, which is basically the equivalent of a color filter millions of miles wide stanley cup and giving the moon its healthy-looking ta stanley nz n. You can check out the full image of Enceladus below click on the image for a closer look. In the meantime, here a NASA description of the unusual ridges and other features that scare the moon surface: As most of the illumination comes from the image left, a labyrinth of ridges throws notable shadows just to the right of the image center, while the kilometer-deep canyon Labtayt Sulci is visible just below. The bright thin crescent on the far right is the only part of Enceladus directly lit by the Sun. The above image was taken last year by the robotic Cassini spacecraft during a close pass by by the enigmatic moon. Inspection of the lower part of this digitally sharpened image reveals plumes of ice crystals thought to originate in a below-surface sea. Via NASA. AstronomyNASASaturnScience |
