NEW The lake is believed to be 60 miles (100km) long by 6 miles (10km). Evidence its location can be seen in a series of grooves, which cut across more than 600 miles (1000km) of Princess Elizabeth Land, which is shown by the white box pictured top left. Its more precise location on the island is shown in the yellow box bottom left. Researchers have also found a canyon that is believed to have been carved by water. It is not known whether the canyon was formed before the ice sheet grew or if it was created by water flowing and eroding beneath the ice. The bottom right-hand image shows the readings obtained using radio-echo sounding that can reveal structures hidden under the ice sheet.
Using data from Cassini, the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics now has multiple possible orbits for the mystery world.
The video was compiled by stitching together several hundred hours of Herschel telescope observations and spans almost 40% of the plane of the Milky Way.
Is 60-year hunt for the missing $400million Amber Room FINALLY over? New images show Nazi looted treasure may be hidden behind sealed wall in a secret room of an underground bunker in Poland
The Amber Room (pictured right), built for Russian tsar Peter the Great in the 1700s and packed with amber, gold and precious jewels, was stolen by the Nazis and mysteriously disappeared at the end of the Second World War. Now, bosses at the Mamerki (left) museum near Wegorzewo, north east Poland, say it may have been hidden behind a false wall that was sealed shut inside an old wartime bunker - after finding an unknown room measuring 6.5ft wide and 10ft long using geo-radar (inset). The suspicion that it could contain parts of the Amber Room is partly based on a testimony of a former Nazi guard.
Do YOU see a pair of nuns or the face of Voltaire? The secret behind Salvador Dali's illusion is helping to decode our brains
Researchers at the University of Glasgow have studied the brains of observers as they looked at Salvador Dali's famous ambiguous painting Slave Market with Disappearing Bust of Voltaire (pictured main). They found specific features in the painting cause people to see either two nuns or the face of Voltaire in the image (illustrated top right). Visual information from each side of the painting is initially decoded by opposite hemispheres of the brain before it then converges into a 'central hub' in the occipito-temporal region (illustrated bottom right).

Could YOU be sitting on a fortune? Take the quiz that tests your gaming knowledge and see how much retro titles could earn you
The quiz was created by slot machines site Mr Gamez, which is based in Germany and allows users to guess the top value of classic titles such as Ice Climber (pictured left), Pokemon (top right) and Super Mario (bottom right). The rise in demand for old pixelated titles flies in the face of hi-tech advances in gaming, with PlayStation launching a VR headset for more realistic experiences soon.

The stunning ultra high-definition videos show just how small and beautiful our planet really is. The space-based camera captures Earth between ±52º north and south - an area of the planet in which ~95% of the human population lives.
Japan's X-2 stealth fighter jet takes to the skies: $332 million prototype completed its maiden flight with 'no particular problems'
The X-2 jet (pictured main) took off from Nagoya airport in central Japan on its maiden test flight (pictured inset) as dozens of aviation enthusiasts watching the event erupted in applause as it lifted off. The single-pilot prototype safely landed at Gifu air base, north of Nagoya airport, after a 25-minute flight with 'no particular problems.'
Is there anything OUTSIDE the universe? Expert believes we could be living in one of many 'bubbles' that is bumping into others in a multiverse
US-based Fraser Cain from Universe Today explained the theory in a video saying our universe (pictured inset) could be one in a vast 'multiverse'. Each universe is like a soap bubble (illustrated), expanding from its own Big Bang. Looking at the CMB, scientists have found temperature fluctuations, or anisotropies. Most of these different temperatures can be explained by our current model for how the universe evolved, but one can't, and scientists have named it the 'axis of evil' - it could show our universe bumping into a neighbour.
Controversial $400bn F-35 fighter jet now has computer 'brain' problem which could see entire fleet grounded
The Government Accountability Office report says a lack of testing done of the software will mean it's not ready for its deployment by the Air Force in August and the Navy in 2018. The problem is with the Autonomic Logistics Information System (ALIS). One major problem, the report said, is that the F-35 data produced by ALIS goes through a single main operating unit which has no back up. This isn't the only problem to plague the program. Last month, it has emerged the jets complex radar system has a problem, which keeps crashing. Pictured is the F-35A.
UFO hunter says he saw 'time-traveling aliens' leaving Earth through wormhole on ISS live stream, in latest bizarre claim
A giant beam of green light shooting out from Earth could be a trail left behind during the departure of time-traveling aliens, UFO hunters claim. The light, purportedly captured by Nasa during a live stream from the International Space Station this past Sunday, is claimed to be hundreds of miles wide. In two bizarre explanations, the conspiracy theorist proposes that the 'energy beam' has come from a UFO leaving the ocean, or that it may be a wormhole used to transport aliens through time.
Hubble bubble! Space telescope captures the first complete view of the Bubble Nebula to celebrate 26 YEARS in orbit
In April 1990, the Nasa/Esa Hubble Space Telescope was launched into orbit from Florida's Kennedy Space Center. Every year, to commemorate this event, Hubble spends time capturing a specially chosen astronomical object. This year's anniversary object is the Bubble Nebula (pictured), also known as NGC 7635, which lies 8,000 light-years away in the constellation Cassiopeia.
Did El Chichon kickstart the Mayan 'Dark Age'? 6th century volcanic eruptions may have caused devastation and social upheaval that rippled around the world
Ice cores from Greenland and Antarctica have revealed two spikes in sulphur in the atmosphere that suggests two huge volcanic eruptions in 536AD and 540AD brought dramatic climate change (temperature changes shown on map bottom right). At around this time the Mayan civilisation underwent a 'hiatus' that brought great political instability and saw many settlements abandoned (ruins in Belize pictured left). Researchers believe one of these eruptions was caused by El Chichon in Mexico (pictured top right) and together they may have led to social upheaval around the world.
Pluto's mesmerising 'halos' revealed: Incredible image shows mysterious methane lurking in dwarf planet's crater rims and walls
Within Pluto's 'Vega Terra' region is a field of eye-catching craters that looks like a cluster of bright halos scattered across a dark landscape. A stunning new image from Nasa New Horizons spacecraft show the region in incredible detail. The region is far west of the hemisphere New Horizons spacecraft viewed during close approach last summer. The upper image - in black and white - sports several dozen 'haloed' craters. In the lower image, composition data indicate a connection between the bright halos and distribution of methane ice, shown in false color as purple. The floors and terrain between craters show signs of water ice, colored in blue.
Otzi the 'iceman' comes back to life: Incredibly accurate 3D printed models of 5,000-year-old mummy set to tour the US
Otzi's mummified remains (inset) were found high in the Otztal Alps of southern Austria by hikers in September 1991 after being preserved in the ice since the Stone Age. He is believed to have died a violent death, killed by an arrow, around the age of 45. Now, three models (one is pictured left) have been made from scans of the famous remains and starting October 2017, Otzi will tour North America for a travelling exhibit. The first model will go on display at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Science in Raleigh and the second and third replicas will be used as educational instruments at the Cold Spring Harbor DNA Learning Center in New York. Researchers used 3D images of the corpse and forensic technology to create the liquid resin replicas and a US artist spent months painting and sculpting each one. The right image shows a model of Otzi created several years ago, with the best guess of how he may have looked.
Move over Tesla: China's LeEco reveals autonomous electric car concept that could pave the way for driverless taxis
LeEco CEO Jia Yueting revealed its first electric car in Beijing today by commanding it to drive out of a container and onto the stage, but with voice commands via a mobile app. Dubbed LeSEE, the sleek pearly white sedan has memory foam seats, automatic driving mode and a steering wheel that folds toward the dash when the car is set to autopilot. The theoretical top speed of this car is 130 mph and the firm says that the front fascia is a smart screen that displays specific data about vehicle while it's running. This futuristic concept car was engineered to be a 'smart', 'connected' and 'automated self-driving car' and the firm hopes it will set the stage for a fleet of autonomous taxis.
Could solar electric propulsion take us to Mars? Nasa awards $67 million contract to develop technology for deep space missions
Nasa has today awarded Aerojet Rocketdyne of Redmond, Washington, a $67 million contract to help develop the technology. The Advanced Electric Propulsion System (AEPS) contract will design a rocket for the robotic portion of Nasa's Asteroid Redirect Mission (ARM) as well as missions to Mars. This will include the development of ion drives and Hall thrusters (pictured) that could increase spaceflight transportation fuel efficiency by 10 times over current chemical propulsion technology.
It is raining PLASMA on the sun: Most detailed images captured of solar flares reveal bright spots and coronal downpours
New images captured by the New Solar Telescope (NST) at the Big Bear Observatory, New Jersey, have revealed previously unseen bright spots in solar flare followed by and 'coronal rain'. The flare occurred in June last year. The images show bright 'flare ribbons' crossing a sunspot followed by coronal rain (pictured). Coronal rain is plasma that condenses in the cooling phase shortly after the solar flare, showering the visible surface of the sun. Another study, published on Tuesday, described a solar flare captured by Nasa in December 2013 (pictured bottom right).
Out of this world! Futuristic UFO-shaped yacht has its own garden and a stunning underwater viewing deck (with a shower room)
Designed by a team from Italy, the UFO (Unidentified Floating Object) has two half-spherical shells as passenger compartments, which are divided by a floating disc that can even be used as a cycling path. Guests can relax in a lounge on the upper deck or retreat to the lower sphere to admire the view beneath the surface or have a shower. The designers said the vessel would be self-sufficient, with systems that use the sun, wind and water for energy.
US Air Force smashes maglev speed record: Incredible footage shows 2,000lb sled travelling at 633mph
The US Air Force has broken the world speed record for a vehicle travelling by magnetic levitation. The 846th Test Squadron smashed the record twice - first hitting 513mph before reaching 633mph just days later at its air base in New Mexico. The system used superconductor magnets to lift the 2,000 pound sled before rockets powered it down the track. The previous record record for magnetic levitation was 510 mph, set by the same team a few years ago.
Frustrated or triumphant? You are probably sending the wrong signals by using these 12 commonly misunderstood emojis
First introduced in Japan in the 1990s, emoji characters are designed to be universal and understood in every language, but the meaning of some emojis is being lost in translation. One common emoticon, intended to symbolise a look of triumph (top right), is being commonly used as a signal of frustration. Another, meant to represent the Bunny Girl, a symbol used in Japan associated with sex appeal (top left), is more commonly used to show excitement and happiness. And that symbol you probably think is to do with sweating (top left) is really not.
You will never forget to brush your teeth again! Horrifying close-up pictures reveal the bacteria living inside our mouths
Microscopy expert Steve Gschmeissner, from Bedford, UK, captured the images by taking mouth swabs and placing them under a scanning electron microscope. There are an estimated 300 different species of bacteria living inside our mouths, some of which are beneficial but others can cause gum disease and tooth decay. At first glance they look a little like sea anemone growing under water (pictured top left) but they are in fact just some of the species living inside our mouths. Some are able to adhere to the soft tissue of the cheek (pictured bottom left) and others stick to gums and teeth. The 3D images (pictured top right and bottom right) have been created using false colour.
Can YOU see the hidden silhouette? Optical illusion sends the internet into a frenzy as people try (and fail) to guess what it is
Savannah Root from Lamar, Missouri, shared the image on Facebook with stumped users staring at it for hours to try to figure out what it was. The puzzle has since been liked more than 25,000 times and shared by 4,500, as well as attracting 9,000 comments. While some spotted the image in the black and white drawing straight away, others saw everything from a bat hanging upside down to a penguin peeing. It's just the latest in a long line of optical illusions to take the internet by storm.
Watch the world's biggest jet engine fire up: Prototype that will power Boeing's 406 seat 777 'megaplane' tested for first time
General Electric Aviation has designed the worlds largest jet engine. Dubbed GE9X (pictured), its front fans span 11 feet in diameter, inlet duct measures 18 feet by 12 feet and can generate 100,000 pounds of thrust. The firm say it is so large that Shaquille O'Neil could fit comfortably inside of it with Kobe Bryant on his shoulders. This massive engine is the first working prototype that was developed to power Boeing's 777X aircraft (pictured inset bottom) and is currently being tested at the firm's boot camp for engines near Peebles, Ohio.
