Created by German photographer, Michael Najjar, each miniature sphere in the image represents an existing object orbiting in space. There are currently around 22,000 objects in orbit that are big enough for officials on the ground to track and countless more smaller ones that could do damage to human-carrying spaceships and valuable satellites. Overall, it is estimated that there are as many as 370,000 pieces of space junk floating in Earth's orbit, travelling at speeds of up to 22,000 mph.

Engineer Jeff Keacher from Colorado used an early Mac web browser called MacWeb 2.0 to run basic versions of Wikipedia and Hacker News on his 1986 Mac Plus. To connect to the network, Keacher had to connect the computer to a Raspberry Pi, and then connect the Pi to the router because the Mac Plus is so old it doesn’t have an Ethernet port. Pages took ‘minutes’ to load, but Keacher was able to access the sites through a proxy server.

EXCLUSIVE: In an interview with MailOnline, Chris Hadfield talks about how living in space gave him a unique perspective of life on Earth. The former commander of the International Space Station describes being an astronaut as 'one of the very rare experiences in life that is better than you dreamed it would be'. Despite this he says the isolation and duration of space flight can lead to tensions boiling over, which has resulted in arguments and even physical fights, although none involving him. He explains that to avoid incidents like this he uses humour to keep up morale and conflicts at bay.

However, while they may well be agricultural tools, experts believe the tridents could have been used for fishing or hunting.
