Huge explosion that created a mysterious giant crater in Siberia was heard 100km away

Three years ago, a mysterious crater suddenly opened up on the Taimyr peninsula in Siberia, tearing a hole in the Earth that was an estimated 330 feet deep. Since then, it's rapidly grown to more than 15 times its original size, increasing from 13 feet in width to roughly 230 at the last survey. Scientists have suggested numerous natural explanations, but the appearance of the bizarre hole has prompted theories of stray missiles and even aliens – and now, one expert reveals nearby residents reported hearing an explosion, and witnessed a 'clear glow' in the sky.

Holland's Emmen Zoo sells off its exhibits

A rare duck-billed dinosaur skeleton has been sold for an impressive $170,000 after the contents of a closed-down natural history museum were auctioned off in a once-in-a-180 million year lifetime sale. Dating back 75 million years, this harpocrasaurus was first discovered in Montana in the US during the 1990s and has been on display at Emmen Zoo in Holland – which named it 'Freya'. The internationally-acclaimed history museum is moving to another location where there is no need for dinosaur exhibits and as a result, all of the artifacts were sold at Summers Place Auction in Billinghurts, West Sussex. Included in the auction was a fossilized saber-tooth cat, a four-legged skeleton of an Eophippus, a rare fossilized shark and more.

Tutankhamun had blade made from iron from a METEORITE, researchers reveal

A dagger found in the sarcophagus of the ancient Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun (inner coffin pictured left) has been found to have a similar chemical composition to a meteorite found in Maras Matruh, Egypt.

An iron meteorite similar to the one thought to have been used to make Tutankhamun's dagger is pictured bottom right.

The northern reaches of North America are getting greener, according to a NASA study that provides the most detailed look yet at plant life across Alaska and Canada. In a changing climate, almost a third of the land cover ? much of it Arctic tundra ? is looking more like landscapes found in warmer ecosystems.

The new Landsat study further supports previous work that has shown changing vegetation in Arctic and boreal North America. Landsat is a joint NASA/U.S. Geological Survey program that provides the longest continuous space-based record of Earth?s land vegetation in existence.

Incredible 3D images reveal how a supernove explodes In the landmark television series "Cosmos," astronomer Carl Sagan famously proclaimed, "We are made of star stuff." At the end of their life cycles, these massive stars explode in spectacular fashion, scattering their guts ? which consist of carbon, iron and basically all other natural elements ? across the cosmos. These elements go on to form new stars, solar systems and everything else in the universe ? including the building blocks for life on Earth. Despite this fundamental role in cosmology, the mechanisms that drive supernova explosions are still not well understood. "If we want to understand the chemical evolution of the entire universe and how the stuff that we're made of was processed and distributed throughout the universe, we have to understand the supernova mechanism," said Sean Couch, assistant professor of physics and astronomy at Michigan State University. To shed light on this complex phenomenon, Couch is leadin

On 9 May Mercury passed in front of the Sun as seen from Earth. These transits of Mercury occur only around 13 times every century, so astronomers all over Earth were eager to capture the event. For astrophotographer Thierry Legault, capturing Mercury and the Sun alone was not enough, however ? he wanted the International Space Station in the frame as well. To catch the Station passing across the Sun, you need to set up your equipment within a ground track less than 3 km wide. For Thierry, this meant flying to the USA from his home near Paris, France. On 9 May there were three possible areas to capture the Station and Mercury at the same time against the solar disc: Quebec, Canada, the Great Lakes and Florida, USA. Choosing the right spot took considerable effort, says Thierry: ?Canada had bad weather predicted and around Florida I couldn?t find a suitably quiet but public place, so I went to the suburbs of Philadelphia.? With 45 kg of equipment, Thierry flew to New York and drov
