This image portrays the late Cretaceous Pachycephalosaurus wyomingensis under a starry sky that includes a very bright new star: the impending KT asteroid, from which small particles are already entering the atmosphere and burning up as meteors. Above, a small marsupial mammal scurries along a Metasequoia branch, poised for world domination.
