Dinosaurs

Do you need a break from all your stargazing? Do you need something else to think about? Well what about dinosaurs? Here are some basic things you might want to know about dinosaurs.

  1. What is a dinosaur and how did they evolve?
  2. When were dinosaurs first discovered and who discovered them. (What were the “bone wars”?)
  3. How are dinosaurs classified. (Hint: it’s all in the hips.)
  4. What are the different types of dinosaurs?
  5. When and how long were dinosaurs around?
  6. When and why did the dinosaurs die off?

However, don’t fear, the FAS Astronomers Blog has a multi-part series on all aspects of the dinosaurs. So, if you want to dig a little deeper and learn something about them, take a look.

We’ll start with a some history of Earth itself.

Then, we’ll dive more deeply into the realm of the dinosaurs.

We even have the story of the Velociraptor and the Brontosaurus.
