  8. Birds may be dinosaurs that never grew up

    Modern day birds may simply be dinosaurs that never grew up, researchers say. A comparison of fossilized skulls of juvenile dinosaurs with those of birds shows remarkable similarities, adding further evidence to the growing consensus that birds are evolutionary descendants of dinosaurs. A team from Harvard University <a href=&quot;http://www.nature.com/nature">reported </a>online in the journal Nature that for some as-yet-unknown reason, some dinosaur infants began to mature much more rapidly than normal. That rapid maturation altered the expression of genes, changing the physical characteristics of the animals and keeping them much smaller in size. Those changes allowed the development of a relatively bigger brain and the development of flight.

  12. 'Time's Up' ticks into future at Griffith Observatory planetarium

    A scene depicting the total destruction of Santa Monica &mdash; complete with fiery meteorites, land masses shearing off into the sea and swarms of flying monkeys &mdash; might seem better suited to a Hollywood disaster movie than a planetarium show. But &quot;Time's Up," opening at the Griffith Observatory on Thursday, is not the kind of planetarium show you might remember from grade school.
