University of Maryland scientists found 18 pits on comet 67P (one shown). They are thought to form when ice evaporates and the surface collapses. Some of them are several hundred metres deep.
Russian Gennady Padalka (shown) set the record last weekend. He beat the previous record of 803 days, nine hours and 41 minutes. On his return he will have spent 2.4 years in space.
Dutch researchers say they have an answer for how lightning begins. Cosmic rays from supernovae are thought to strike ice particles in clouds, causing the flashes (shown).

Dutch company Mars One has revealed its plan for Mars colonisation. An independent study was carried out on its proposal for human missions (illustrated), which were found to be 'attainable'.
Stargazers around the world were treated to an usual sight of Venus and Jupiter appearing close together in the sky, and could see them 'merge' tonight between 10.30 to 11pm in the UK.
Australian research has found a bird that can make up new 'words'. The chestnut-crowned babbler (pictured) combines sounds to convey different types of messages.
Washington-based Nasa cut away from a live ISS stream the other day, and some conspiracy theorists claimed to have seen UFOs (zoomed in view shown) in the video before Nasa ended the stream.
People in the UK and US can spot Venus and Jupiter together tomorrow (illustrated). From the UK they will be visible above the western horizon after 10.30pm BST, and in the US after sunset.
French researchers examined why we have good lateral vision (stock image shown). Our eyes are much less forward facing than other apes. And our eyes are also wider than they are high.
Swiss pilot André Borschberg has started the 5-day crossing of the Pacific (take-off shown). The flight from Nagoya, Japan to Hawaii is the longest solo plane flight ever attempted.
The robot (pictured), called Hadrian, was developed by an Australian inventor. It can lay 1,000 bricks an hour and work around the clock, 24 hours a day. It 3D scans its surroundings to place the bricks.
Virginia-based Darpa revealed the development this week. They are creating a 'technological toolkit' to transform hostile places such as Mars (artist's impression of it terraformed shown).
A Japanese start-up called Ale revealed it will launch a satellite into a polar orbit containing dozens of balls, which will burn up in the atmosphere with a bright colour (stock image shown).
The four-hour course, which includes group hypnosis, is intended to cure people of arachnophobia, ending with participants holding a tarantula (pictured) - but did it work?
The star was studied by the University of California, Berkeley. It is surrounded by a huge disk of gas. Another star is thought to be 'eating' the other and creating the disk (artist's impression shown)
A BBC graphic (pictured) shows you how the world has changed. For example, the city Navi Mumbai in India is younger than a 40-year-old, and sea levels have risen 10cm in their life.
The European Space Agency has revealed images of ice on comet 67P (shown). The Rosetta spacecraft spotted the bright regions in September 2014.
Rapid growth due to cooler weather will cause the effect this weekend (stock image shown). Farmer David Simmons in Cornwall told MailOnline that the phenomenon was 'real' and 'eerie'
Research by Duke University in North Carolina studied parrot speech. The study found that they have controlled vocal learning centres called ‘shells' (shown).
A study led by the University of Geneva has found a comet-like exoplanet (artist's impression shown). Called GJ 436b, it is Neptune-sized and located 33 light-years away.
The Tokyo branch of Lexus claims to have made a working hoverboard (shown). Called Slide, it apparently uses electromagnets and liquid nitrogen to float.
The research was carried out by scientists from Utrecht University in the Netherlands. They studied a crater on Mars that has gullies in its walls, and found the planet had water recently (illustrated).
The Pentagon in Virginia will open the centre in just six months. It will coordinate all data from US government satellites (one shown) and will also help them survive attacks.
Human footprints were found preserved on Calvert Island in Canada (enhanced image of one shown). They were radiocarbon dated to 13,200 years old, the oldest in North America.
Researchers in Texas have studied the famous VJ Day Kiss photo (shown). It was taken on 14 August 1944 in New York's Times Square, but until now the time had been a mystery.
A video of jumping sundogs was filmed above Greenwood, Indiana. It shows a beam of light flickering (pictured), possibly due to electric fields changing in a 'jumping sundog'.

Scientists in Colorado have revealed new images of Pluto and Charon (shown). They are the first colour images of the two by the New Horizons probe.
The study was carried out by Leiden Observatory in the Netherlands. It examined Sedna, a dwarf planet with a hugely eccentric orbit, possibly as it was stolen (artist's impression shown).
Study led by the European Space Agency examined Saturn's moon Titan. They found 'depressions' on the surface were caused by rain, but the process is very slow. Shown is its largest sea, Kraken Mare.
Scientists say the leap second is crucial to compensate for slowing of the Earth's rotation. But according computer experts, it could wreak havoc to systems powering the internet.
Google took its 360-degree Trekker camera to Mount Etna and the surrounding region in Sicily, Italy. The locations reveal the snowy peaks of Mount Etna (shown) and two craters.
Scientists at University College London found that gases were being pulled out of Titan's atmosphere (shown). This 'polar wind' effect also occurs on Earth, and maybe Mars and Venus as well.
