A little genetic engineering, and we could have some truly amazing chicken wings and drummies.



Quote: The perfectly preserved leg, which even includes remnants of the animal’s skin, can be accurately dated to the time the asteroid that brought about the dinosaurs’ extinction struck Earth 66m years ago, experts say, because of the presence of debris from the impact, which rained down only in its immediate aftermath.
 
Visited The Mammoth Site in Hot Springs, South Dakota several years ago while at the bike rally in Sturgis. It's a ongoing dig/ museum, or it was at that time.

I think asteroids, meteors, etc. have a radioactive signature that is quite specific...

Birds are supposed to be evolved dinosaurs. I wonder how they survived?

I think the assumption is that some of the smaller creatures were able to survive. We tend to focus on the very large dinosaurs. But there were small ones as well, including very small ones.
 
I don't think why know why some animals at around the time of the mass extinction were so enormous. The Argentinosaurus weighed 200,000 lbs. (I think that's 90 metric tons if my conversion is right)
BTW, they have to come up with better names for dinosaurs. Argentinosaurus??????

I think they liked pizza and chocolate...A LOT!
 

NASA & Indigenous Astronomy

Live streamed events listed here are old, but videos of them to watch…

Two Eyed Seeing – NASA & Indigenous Astronomy – For the Benefit of All​

​

The Milky Way has many names around the world--Silver River, the Route of Scattered Straw, the Birds’ Path. For the Southern Paiute people the Milky Way is Moohowam Poh’am, the Spirit Road.
As Ranger Autumn Gillard, dark sky ranger at Pipe Spring National Monument and descendant of the Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah Cedar Band shared at a recent astronomy program, “the Milky Way is the path that our spirits follow to what mainstream culture refers to as heaven. When we as Southern Paiute people pass away, we begin our journey across the Milky Way.

“The brightest stars that are resting on the Milky Way are the campfires of our families that have passed away. We believe that the Creator allows them to come and rest on the Milky Way and look down on us in our daily lives.”

People around the world have observing the night sky for thousands of years, inspired the patterns above. Last year, Native Skywatchers partnered with NASA to produce a series of videos called “Two-Eyed Seeing” exploring Indigenous astronomy stories and science from North America, Hawai’i, South America, Africa, and the Middle East.
