Spanish researchers say climate change impacted the climate in southeast Spain warned to 13°C (55°F) and enabled hominins (stock image shown), our distant ancestors, to migrate.
University of Manchester researchers have revealed an HD dark matter map (shown). It shows clumps of mystery particles across 0.4 per cent of the sky. The goal is to eventually map 12.5 per cent.
Swiss researchers measured the temperature of 'Hot Jupiter' HD 189733b (artist's illustration shown). They found the temperature reaches up to 3,000°C in the atmosphere.
The claim was made by the commander of Russian Space Command. Oleg Maidanovich said someone was hiding satellites as space junk (artist's illustration of a satellite shown).
The study was conducted by scientists at Purdue University in Indiana. They were investigating how to reduce bird to aircraft collisions by keeping birds away from planes (stock image shown).
The organisation will present their report at the UN in Geneva next week. They say that we must consider banning 'fully autonomous weapons' (image from the movie Terminator shown).
