National Geographic's giant-screen film Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure brings to life the extraordinary marine reptiles of the dinosaur age in both 3-D and 2-D. Eighty million years ago, the American Midwest lay under a great inland sea where colossal creatures ruled the waves. From giraffe-necked Styxosaurus and sea birds with teeth to the T-Rex of the ocean -- the 40-foot super-predator Tylosaurus -- these wondrous beasts defy imagination. In a remarkable journey, National Geographic immerses audiences in this unexplored world of the "other dinosaurs," delivering the creatures brought to life on the world's biggest screen.
In October 2006, NASA launched two spacecraft that would, for the first time in the history of space exploration, capture space-born, high-definition 3D images of the Sun.

Stand above the arctic circle and witness the most brilliant auroras on Earth; take a ride on a solar blast from the Sun's surface to Earth's Magnetosphere, and come to a deeper understanding of what this vast sea of fire means to life here on Earth.
