Conceptual art of a ghostly dinosaur over the Moon
Dinosaur. Conceptual artwork of a ghostly dinosaur rising above the surface of the Moon. Earth is seen at lower right. This image could represent the age of dinosaurs. Between around 250 and 65 million years ago, reptiles were the dominant form of life on Earth, with large predators such as this at the top of the food chain. However, after dominating the terrestrial fauna for millions of years, the dinosaurs died out relatively rapidly. This is thought to have been due to a large asteroid colliding with Earth. This would have rapidly cooled the Earth as dust thrown up into the atmosphere by the collision would have blocked out the Suns rays

EDITORS COMMENTS
This conceptual artwork showcases a ghostly dinosaur gracefully emerging from the surface of the Moon, with Earth shining brightly in the lower right corner. The image serves as a powerful representation of the age of dinosaurs, an era when reptiles reigned supreme on our planet. This magnificent creature, positioned at the top of the food chain, symbolizes their dominance and power. For millions of years, these colossal predators ruled over terrestrial life until their abrupt demise. Scientists believe that this catastrophic event was triggered by a colossal asteroid colliding with Earth. As depicted in this artwork, dust thrown into the atmosphere by the impact would have blocked out sunlight and rapidly cooled our planet. The juxtaposition of this ethereal dinosaur against the lunar backdrop evokes a sense of mystery and wonder. It invites us to reflect upon our own existence amidst vast cosmic forces. This mesmerizing print not only celebrates paleontology but also encourages contemplation about life's fragility and resilience. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured both scientific accuracy and artistic imagination in this thought-provoking piece. Whether you are fascinated by space exploration or intrigued by prehistoric creatures, this striking image is sure to captivate your imagination and spark curiosity about our planet's rich history.
