The global map, created by New York designer Michelle Chandra, places a marker for Instagram users' #sunrise and #sunset tags from the past 24 hours. The larger the bright dot on the zoomable map, the closer to the moment of the actual event. A search bar in the upper right corner can look up a certain location and users can also zoom in on photographs taken of a city or landmark. Users can then hover over the dots to see the photograph captured.

Grisly images show polar bears eating DOLPHINS for the first time - and scientists say global warming may be to blame
Polar bears feed mainly on seals, so Jon Aars at the Norwegian Polar Institute was shocked to see dolphins being devoured by a bear. The strange behaviour, seen in the Norwegian Arctic, may be due warmer waters causing the dolphins to find their way north earlier in the year. In the photos a visibly skinny old male bear devours one of the dolphins and appeared to have stored a second one under snow for later (inset) - something which scientist had never seen before.

Full speed ahead: Video shows Bloodhound SSC pilot testing the supersonic car's parachute on a speeding Jaguar
World land speed record holder Andy Green tested Bloodhound SSC's parachute system on a Jaguar F-TYPE R Coupé driven on a track at a former RAF base in Bentwaters, Suffolk. The vital high-speed parachute tests are part of the preparation for a unique engineering adventure - creating a car that can cover a mile in just 3.6 seconds. To test this system ahead of the car's first run, Jaguar, a technical partner to the project, fitted it to an F-TYPE R Coupé and ran it on a former military runway to over 180mph (289km/h) before firing the parachute (pictured).
Have we found Philae? New images reveal bright object glinting on surface of Rosetta's comet 67P after probe landed
The European Space Agency revealed their best candidate for Philae. Images in December show a bright object that wasn't there weeks earlier (shown) which could be the probe. Philae landed on comet 67P on 12 November but bounced twice. The probe is now in hibernation and scientists have been trying to locate it.
Columbus' map reveals more secrets: Scans uncover new locations and written passages on Martellus Atlas
Researchers at Yale University used a technique called multispectral imaging to uncover the hidden information that Columbus (pictured inset) had at his fingertips. So far they have revealed hundreds of place names and more than 60 written passages. One example is information about Japan, which is marked in the wrong place on the 15th century map (main image).
Staring into Hell: Intrepid adventurer captures incredible images of the world's most active lava lakes using drones and a suit that can withstand 3,000F heat
This incredible photos were taken by filmmaker Sam Cossmann and his team and shows his harrowing journey into the Marum crater, which is one of only seven lava lakes on the planet, located on the remote island of Ambrym, in the Republic of Vanuatu. Cossmann and his team used high tech drones, virtual reality cameras, and biometric wearable sensors to learn more about the geology of such an extreme environment.
Check out my nice rack! Women scientists mock 'sexist' Nobel Prize winner with hilarious pictures showing just how #distractinglysexy they can be
With unflattering lab coats and enormous goggles (top left and bottom left picture) to catch their tears (main picture), Twitter was awash with women scientists telling leading biochemist Sir Tim Hunt they were #distractinglysexy. Sir Tim, a Royal Society fellow, was roundly criticised over his claim women are a distraction in the laboratory. At a conference of science journalists, he provoked outrage by saying: 'Let me tell you about my trouble with girls. Three things happen when they are in the lab: you fall in love with them, they fall in love with you, and when you criticise them, they cry.'
Is this the most hi-tech car EVER? BMW's 7 series boasts a cinema, massage seats and James Bond-style remote driving - and it lets you control the dash using gestures
The German automaker's new 7 Series is designed to balance luxury with technology, including a gesture control interface (pictured left) and remote control parking (bottom right). The car has a sleek carbon fibre body that makes it 190 lbs lighter than its predecessor, hiding a more efficient V-8 engine generating 445 horsepower as well as a luxurious interior with TVs and other creature comforts (top right).
Usain Bolt could outrun a T-Rex and yes, those velociraptors in Jurassic World should have feathers: 10 facts you didn't know about dinosaurs
Dinosaurs inhabited Earth between 230 and 66 million years ago. During that time many different strange and wonderful creatures lived. The first ever recorded dinosaur bone discovery was in Oxford in 1677. Some dinosaurs lived to 300, while others laid eggs 18 inches long. The velociraptors in Jurassic World are also thought to have feathers (top right), while there may have been two extinction events (bottom right). It also appears that Usain Bolt would have been able to outrun a T-rex (illustrated left).
Gym selfies, talking about babies and checking phones at dinner... How many of the top tech pet peeves are YOU guilty of?
eBay surveyed 1,000 people across five continents, including Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, and South America about tech habits. The research revealed that Europeans are the most put out by posts about pets or children - with 38 per cent of participants finding it annoying. North Americans hate people take selfies in the mirror more than any other region, on 69%. Meanwhile, people in Asia will tolerate a lot of behaviour but were the most annoyed by people checking their phones during dinner. Almost half of participants across America and Europe get frustrated by gym selfies (pictured).
