An enthusiastic spearfisherman has snapped a photo of a killer sea snake and equally deadly stonefish locked in a battle to the death. Australian spearfishing champion and Darwin real estate agent Rick Trippe discovered nature at play and tried to intervene, releasing the fish and snake from their stalemate. However, his efforts were fruitless as the fierce enemies re-engaged in their death lock the moment they were released back into Darwin's harbour.
Dreadnought 2050 has space-age control room, 'see-through' hull and a crew of just 50.
Futuristic images have emerged of the Dreadnought 2050, designed by a group of leading British naval experts to push current technologies to the limit.
Quasar powered by TWO monster black holes spotted: Whirling binary system reveals clues about how galaxies merge
Astronomers led by the University of Oklahoma, used Nasa's Hubble Space Telescope to discover that Markarian 231 (Mrk 231), the nearest galaxy to Earth that hosts a quasar, is powered by two central black holes (illustrated) 'furiously whirling' around each other. Like a pair of whirling skaters, the black-hole duo generates tremendous amounts of energy that makes the core of the host galaxy outshine the glow of the galaxy's population of billions of stars, which scientists identify as quasars.
The mystery of the 'alien plughole' on Mars: Scientists discover strange terraced crater caused by gigantic slab of water ice 130ft thick and bigger than Texas and California combined
The terraced crater formed because shock waves from the impact that created it moved at different speeds through rock and ice, according to scientists at the University of Arizona. While the presence of ice came as little surprise to researchers, its age, amount and location did. Knowing where the ice is and how thick it is can tell you about Mars' past climates. 'The fact that the ice is so thick and widespread leads us to think it came into place during one of Mars' past climates when it snowed a bunch, ice accumulated, was buried, and then preserved,' said research Shane Byrne.

Look familiar? Russia reveals its next generation Soyuz replacement spacecraft that set to launch in 2021 - and it looks a lot like Nasa's Orion
The Russian craft was revealed at Maks-2015, the 12th International Aviation and Space Salon in Moscow and is being made by RSC Energia. It is designed to replace Soyuz-TMA that carries astronauts and cosmonauts to the International Space Station. But the craft looks remarkably similar to Orion (inset) - Nasa's new spaceship designed to carry humans to an asteroid, and eventually to Mars. RSC Energia, who is building the spacecraft, says it will test it over the next few months, which the first unmanned orbital test flight of the new spacecraft scheduled in 2021.
Holiday hotspots could be devastated by a Mediterranean tsunami: Maps reveal 130 million lives at risk from once-a-century phenomenon
Researchers at the University of Bologna in Italy modelled the impact of earthquakes off the coasts of Sicily and Crete (pictured). They found waves would spread across the Mediterranean within minutes, inundating many coastal areas. They warned that up to 1.5 square miles of Crete could be left under water, while Libya could also be badly hit.
The algorithm that can learn to copy ANY artist: Neural network can recreate your snaps in the style of Van Gogh or Picasso
Researchers fed their system a series of old masters - and used it to turn a modern day snap (bottom left) into a perfect pictures in the style vincent van Gogh's The Starry Night (top left) of some of the world's best known paintings. The German system uses technology similar to Google's 'DeepDream' art algorithm to work out what makes each artists style unique.

EXCLUSIVE: Sue Ann Pien (pictured left) from Los Angeles, told MailOnline that being a candidate has is already affecting her relationships and she's working her way through a bucket list. She is one of five Mars One (illustrated bottom right) candidates who will feature in a collection of documentaries called Citizen Mars, which will air on Engadget. It will include personal stories from the people who want to call Mars their home, from a professional basketball player, to a trainee psychiatrist. Mars is pictured top right.
Inside an 'ALIEN': Incredible 3D scans reveal a new species of millipede in stunning detail
Scientists took X-rays of the specimen (right) from different angles, and then compiled them to create a 3D model (left) of the millipede, named Ommatoiulus avatar. The resulting images has revealed the new species of millipede in incredible detail, while also keeping the 1.5-inch-long (3.8cm) specimens intact. Importantly, the technique allowed the scientists to get a detailed look at the millipede's genital, known as the gonopods. The different shapes of gonopod can help scientists identify new species.
The GREATER Barrier Reef: Underwater robot discovers massive new reef even bigger than Australia's famous landmark
Researchers recently explored the 'Wilsons Promontory Marine National Park' reef off the southern Australian coast using an underwater robot. There, they discovered stunning corals and colourful sponges. They also found abundant fish species including some that are said to be endangered, such as the Australian barracuda and Longsnout Boarfish (top inset). Pictured on the the bottom left is a nudibranch slug with a pink sponge.
Has the lost palace of Sparta been found? Magical objects and clay tablets suggest ruins belong to Ancient Greece's most famous civilisation
The palace (ruins shown top right and close-up, bottom right) had around 10 rooms and was discovered near the village Xirokambi Lakonia, which is located close to Sparta in southern Greece .Archaeologists found cultic objects at the site, named Ayios Vassileios, including objects of worship, clay figures and a bull's head cup (pictured left). Having been one of the most powerful civilisations in Ancient Greece, Sparta's Mycenaean civilisation mysteriously collapsed in 1200BC. A statue of a Spartan warrior is shown inset.
The superyacht with masts taller than BIG BEN's tower and sails the size of a football field: Russian billionaire designs luxury vessel set to begin sea trials later this year
The £292 million ($451 million) Sailing Yacht A (pictured left), which is being constructed in Nobiskrug, Germany, is 468ft (143 metres) long and has three masts that are taller than Big Ben's tower. It features a massive 1.8 ton curved glass observation pod in the hull just behind the keel and a helicopter landing pad. It is the second vessel to be built by Mr Melnichenko (pictured right) and is expected to be packed with technology and will have a crew of around 54. It will begin sea trials later this year.
See through the eyes of someone who's colour blind: Remarkable images show how everyday tasks such as cooking meat can be a struggle
People with a type of colour blindness called deuteranopia confuse red and green, and may struggle with everyday tasks like picking out a certain coloured crayon or telling if meat is cooked, according to Professor Jay Neitz, of the University of Washington. The tops images show what a person with colour blindness may see every day, (from left to right, meat and numbers in circles) while the bottom images show how a person with normal vision sees the world. According to the charity Colour Blindness Awareness, 60 per cent of sufferers experience many problems in everyday life
Chinese hacker hides Wi-Fi testing tools inside her HEELS: 'SexyCyborg' reveals how the platforms help her bypass security
The hacker, who goes under the name 'SexyCyborg', designed the shoes with hidden compartments which can be taken out without the shoes being taken off. Each compartment contains hacking equipment, such as malicious flash drives and a router to log into networks via Wi-Fi. Dubbed the 'Wu Ying Shoes', the platforms are designed to be worn with sexy clothing, the hacker said. She claims her aim is to 'distract the target with my upper body [so] they don't see the real danger on my feet.'
