If we travelled 70 million light years away would we see dinosaurs when looking at earth? If we hypothetically had the technology to travel 70 million light years away in an instant, along with some form of powerful telescope...when you looked at earth would you see earth as it was 70 million years ago, dinosaurs and all?

What (on Earth?) makes footprints like this?

These photos were taken in my parent's garden, Gloucestershire, during the snowy weather in January earlier this year.

The first photo shows the footprints starting near to the back door of their house, the second shows them making their way past the side of the house in a very straight line and the final photo shows them simply stopping.

We're still all very puzzled and wondered if anyone had any theories or ideas?
