Researchers led by the Max Planck Institute of Astronomy in Germany have observed a 'pencil beam' of the universe's cosmic web (main). The resultant 3D map shows the distribution of matter in one region of space. This 'cosmic web' shows where matter is most densely concentrated.

This is the first time the cosmic web has been mapped at such a vast distance - in this case 10.8 billion light-years from Earth. The researchers made the map using the Keck I telescope in Hawaii (inset). It could be used to help understand how the universe took shape.

A video shows a mother combing millions of squirming insects out of her daughter's hair, which experts have identified as head lice. Head lice, also known as pediculosis capitis, are tiny insects that live in human hair, which grow to the size of a sesame seed. They feed by biting the scalp and feeding on blood and multiply rapidly. Ms Dee Wright, founder of the Hairforce salons which offer a specialised ‘Lice Assasins’ service said this is one of the more extreme cases she has faced before in her salons. However, in extreme cases lice can form 'nests' in which they clump together, fighting for survival. The lice could be harming the child's health, she said, as lice carry bacteria.

Dr Andrey Letyagin (bottom left) who worked on the study said: 'I am quite sure in the diagnosis - she had cancer. She was extremely emaciated. Given her rather high rank in society and the information scientists obtained studying mummies of elite Pazyryks, I do not have any other explanation of her state. Only cancer could have such impact.' Her actual cause of death may have been from a secondary factor - possibly an injury from her fall from which she initially survived, but was probably bedridden.
The Basket star (Gorgonocephalus caputmedusae) was caught off the coast of Singapore and continues to wave its arms out of water in the video shot by businessman and fisherman Jr Saim. The creature can live around 6,564 ft (2 km) below the waves, but typically favours life between 50 ft (15 metres) and 500 feet (152 metres) below sea level. It has five arms radiating from a central disk, like other members of the echinoderm phylum, which includes starfish, sea urchins and brittle stars. But they differ from starfish, for example, because each arm branches out into countless flexible others, which can be used by the creature to create a tangled mesh designed to ensnare plankton and even small crustaceans.
