The giant SPONGE floating in space: Stunning close-up reveals Saturn's crumpet moon in incredible detail
It looks, and sometimes acts, like a huge sponge floating in space. But this crumpet-like rock is in fact one of Saturn's outer moons, measuring 255 by 161 miles (410 by 260km). Named Hyperion, the moon's porous surface can be seen in incredible detail in this image taken by Cassini (inset) as it performed a flyby of the satellite. Cassini was around 38,500 miles (62,000 km) from Hyperion when the image was taken. During the flyby, the probe got more than it bargained for as Hyperion unleashed a burst of charged particles towards the spacecraft, effectively delivering a giant 200-volt electric shock.
From a zebrafish's 'inner ear' to crystals forming in caffeine: Nikon reveals the winners of its 'World in Motion' contest
First place went to a video created by the Center for Genomic Regulation in Barcelona which shows microscopic footage of how fish sense water movement using their 'inner ear' (top left). Dr Douglas Clark of Paedia Corporation took second place with a time-lapse look at crystals forming in a single drop of a saturated solution of caffeine in water (bottom left). Dr John Hart, professor emeritus of the University of Colorado, Boulder, earned third place for his video of volatile oil film on a water surface (right).
Russian space agency races to fix out of control spacecraft - as dizzying footage emerges of its terrifying tumble through space
Progress M-27M appears to have suffered a series of telemetry problem moments after launch (inset) at 3:09 a.m. EDT (07:09 GMT) from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. The spacecraft was scheduled to dock with the International Space Station six hours after take off, but that plan has now been 'indefinitely abandoned'. Nasa's Mission Control reported that a video camera on Progress showed it to be spinning at a 'rather significant rate'.

Peculiar caterpillar with erupting 'tentacles' caught on camera: Horned spanworm reacts when it hears loud noises
An entomologist has captured the bizarre behaviour of a caterpillar with four strange tentacle-like appendages protruding from its abdomen that lives in the Peruvian Amazon. He found that the caterpillar (pictured), thought to be a Horned spanworm, thrusts its filaments outwards in response to loud noises. Aaron Pomerantz came across the camouflaged creature in the rainforest, where it at first resembled a twig. It is not known why it reacts in this way.
Watch a twisting solar flux on the sun: Stunning video reveals winding 'rope' of magnetic field causing a flare
The first high-resolution footage of solar flux ropes (shown left) on the sun has been revealed by a scientists at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. In the fascinating high-resolution footage, these twisting groups of magnetic fields can be seen writhing around. And with the new images, it may be possible to further understand their evolution and how they cause space weather (coronal mass ejection shown top right, coronal loop shown bottom right).
Are we living in a HOLOGRAM? For the first time, scientists prove strange theory could be true in 'realistic models' of our universe
The holographic principle suggests that, like the security chip on your credit card, there is a two-dimensional surface that we can't see. This surface contains all the information needed to describe a three-dimensional object - which in this case is our universe. Scientists at the Technology University of Vienna have created equations that combine how the universe is accelerating with theories on how we could be living in a hologram.
Will it blend? Video reveals the Apple Watch being pulverized in an industrial blender
Can you blend the Apple Watch into a fine dust? That question has been answered by Utah-based company Blendtec's popular YouTube series 'Will it Blend?' In a video the expensive device is seen being lowered into a state of the art blender (left) before the blades are switched on (top right and bottom right).
You are here: 3D 'master map' of the universe reveals most complete picture of our cosmic neighbourhood (with the cross showing where we are)
University of Waterloo astrophysicists have created a 3D master map of the universe spanning nearly two billion light years that is the most complete picture of our cosmic neighbourhood to date. The image shows a slice through the 3D Map of the nearby Universe. Our Milky Way galaxy is in the centre, marked by a cross.
Lasers reveal what taste LOOKS like: Live imaging of the tongue shows buds reacting to flavours for the first time
A Harvard-led study has mapped taste buds (main image) on a tongue (pictured inset) for the first time. Scientists examined the different cells that are used to identify taste and watched these cells capture and process molecules live. The researchers now want to study how the brain responds to taste. In the main image receptor cells are shown in green, blood cells are red and collagen surrounding the bud is shown in blue. In the inset image, taste buds are shown in blue among the yellow papillae, small bumps in the tongue's tissue.

Mercury as you've never seen it: Messenger reveals close-ups of planet's sun-scorched surface as it prepares to meet its fiery end
After four years orbiting the closest planet to our sun, the Messenger spacecraft will this make a death-dive into Mercury. But the probe hasn't finished its mission yet, with new images emerging of Mercury in unrivaled detail as Messenger spirals closer to its surface. Nasa has combined images taken by the probe's Visual and Infrared Spectrometer (Virs) to reveal distinct features such as volcanic vents and fresh craters.
The birth of a monster: Nasa captures 17 MILE long iceberg as it breaks away from West Antarctica's Getz ice shelf
The monster iceberg, larger than Manhattan, was spotted breaking away from West Antarctica's Getz Ice Shelf by the U.S. National Ice Center. Glaciers in the Amundsen Sea of west Antarctica are losing ice faster than anywhere else on the continent and are the largest contributors to the rise of sea levels. The first image (left) shows the iceberg on February 16, when it was still attached to the ice shelf. By February 28 (middle), it appears to have separated somewhat. By March 5 (right), it is floating freely.
'Crab' micro-car drives sideways, turns on the spot and can SHRINK to make parking in tight spaces easier
Engineers in Germany describe the EOssc2 (pictured) as an 'ultra flexible micro-car for mega cities' and plan on enabling it to drive itself. The concept car can turn on the spot, shrink in size and even move sideways, like a crab, so it can park itself. It does this because its wheels are individually powered by separate motors so they can turn in different directions.The EOssc2 is currently being tested in the cities of Bremen and Dalian, China.
How Lenin's corpse looks better with age: Scientists reveal experimental embalming methods used on the Soviet leader
Vladmir Lenin may have been dead for 90 years, but his corpse looks better than the day he passed. This is the claim made by his embalmers, who have developed bizarre techniques to maintain the look and feel of the communist revolutionary's body. They brag that their 'quasibiological' science has been the result of almost a century of fine-tuning, creating a science that has benefited real-world medical applications. The gruesome job is the responsibility of a team known as the 'Mausoleum group' which, at its peak, involved 200 scientists working in a lab dedicated to the former leader's corpse. Lenin is pictured inset in 1918, six years before his death.
The Apple Watch laid bare: Tech experts take the timepiece apart to reveal what's inside - including its tiny battery
Tech experts at California-based iFixit have completed a so-called 'teardown' of the 38mm Sport model (pictured inset) of Apple's watch. This teardown reveals a 205mAh battery (pictured main) and Apple's S1 chip. The Watch also features an accelerometer, gyroscope and heart rate sensor. The hotly-anticipated device began shipping to customers globally who had pre-ordered earlier today, but it is not available to buy in Apple Stores.
The belly of the Yellowstone beast: Scientists find huge reservoir of hot magma under the surface that could fill the Grand Canyon ELEVEN TIMES
Researchers from the University of Utah tracked seismic waves from around 5,000 earthquakes to create a map of the earth beneath the Yellowstone National Park (pictured top left). Previous research discovered a smaller magma chamber (illustrated right and in red bottom left) indirectly beneath the surface, but this latest chamber (shown in yellow bottom left) sits 12 to 28 miles (19 to 45km) beneath the supervolcano and measures 11,035 cubic miles (46,000 cubic km). Around 98 per cent of the chamber consists of hot solid rock, while the rest is molten. This chamber is four times bigger than the magma chamber above it, but the study said the supervolcano is not posing any additional threat than it was before.
Meet J-awwww-s, the world's cutest shark! Rare beast identified after being discovered off the Gulf of Mexico
An extremely rare species of shark has been discovered off the Gulf of Mexico. However, this little critter is more likely to get you cooing rather than crying out in fear. The tiny nipper - measuring just 5.5 inches long - was caught during a 2010 government research trip and its body remained frozen while biologists went about identifying it. This week scientists revealed the dinky creature is a pocket shark - a miniature variation of the more popular kinds. The young male is the second of its species ever seen.
Did a METEOR change the course of Christianity? Chelyabinsk-like fireball may have made Paul the Apostle convert
An astronomer at the Planetary Science Institute in Tucson, Arizona, claims that Paul the Apostle may have experienced a vision on the road to Damascus in 30AD (illustrated in the painting by Michelangelo on the left) that was caused by a meteor similar to the one over Chelyabinsk in Russia (top right). He argues that the sound of the explosion could have been interpreted as a divine voice and the UV radiation from the blast (bottom right) could have caused temporary blindness called photokeratitis. Many argue that without Paul's influence, Christianity would be a very different religion.
Bicycle powered by HANDS set to beat speed record - and the aluminium frame is controlled using the cyclist's HEAD
Mechanical and composites engineers and students from Plymouth University have developed a Human Powered Vehicle (HPV) (pictured inset) which they hope will set a new arm-powered speed record in the Nevada desert in September. Piloted and powered by paracyclist Liz McTernan (pictured main), it needs exceed 21.39mph (34.42 km/h) over 656ft (200-metres) to beat the current women's benchmark.
