Russia's Mir diamond mine valued at £13 BILLION

Dubbed 'Diamond City', Mir mine (pictured) in eastern Siberia is so huge it creates a vortex potentially strong enough to suck helicopters into its depths. Its riches helped turn the USSR into a global superpower. Although the open cast mine ceased operation in 2004, it was replaced with a series of underground tunnels which produced more than six million carats of rough diamonds in 2014. Mir mine's £13billion worth is based on adding the total value of the diamonds it has already produced to the remaining reserves.

Mysterious Greenland Shark can swim for almost 400 years and mature at 150

Researchers led by the University of Copenhagen discovered the Greenland shark, which hunts in the North Atlantic, has a life expectancy of at least 272 years, with some reaching 392-years-old, making it the longest living vertebrate known to science.

This means that a shark swimming in the North Atlantic today could have been born in 1624 - the decade the Mayflower carried the Pilgrim Fathers to North America, and not long after William Shakespeare penned his best-loved plays. She would have been a youngster when the Declaration of Independence was signed and would have lived through two World Wars.

Ancient remains at ‘America’s first city’ reveal women held high-power positions

Almost 50 years ago, archaeologists excavating an ancient city just outside of St. Louis discovered a mass burial site with an unusual central feature - two bodies arranged atop a bed of beads, with several other bodies encircling them. It was once thought that the elaborate 'beaded burial' structure at Cahokia was built as a monument to male power - but now, researchers suggest this is not the case. A new analysis of the remains reveals that one of these central bodies is actually female, and researchers say the discovery of similar male-female pairs and the remains of a child indicates that women played an important role in society. The ancient city is illustrated above, and artifacts found at the site can be seen in the top left corner.

Global warming could release waste from Cold War military base buried in Greenland ice

Millions of liters of waste, including gasoline, PCBs, and nuclear coolant water lay buried beneath the ice sheet at an abandoned Cold War base in Greenland, and climate change could soon send it spilling into the ocean. Along with chemical and biological waste, there are thousands of tons of physical remnants from abandoned infrastructure that sit dormant at Camp Century - a site which covers an area roughly the length of 100 football fields. The US base was decommissioned nearly 50 years ago under the assumption that the waste would remain trapped underground forever, but a new analysis reveals that warming temperatures could unearth hazardous waste in just 75 years.

Fireworks shows are not just confined to Earth?s skies. NASA?s Hubble Space Telescope has captured a spectacular fireworks display in a small, nearby galaxy, which resembles a July 4th skyrocket. A firestorm of star birth is lighting up one end of the diminutive galaxy Kiso 5639. The dwarf galaxy is shaped like a flattened pancake, but because it is tilted edge-on, it resembles a skyrocket, with a brilliant blazing head and a long, star-studded tail. Kiso 5639 is a rare, nearby example of elongated galaxies that occur in abundance at larger distances, where we observe the universe during earlier epochs. Astronomers suggest that the frenzied star birth is sparked by intergalactic gas raining on one end of the galaxy as it drifts through space. ?I think Kiso 5639 is a beautiful, up-close example of what must have been common long ago,? said lead researcher Debra Elmegreen of Vassar College, in Poughkeepsie, New York. ?The current thinking is that galaxies in the early universe grow f

After discovering the planetary system, scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology judged from the size and temperature of the planets that they may be suitable for life.

The system would interact with particles released by the sun, repelling protons to create thrust and achieve unprecedented speeds. It is hoped the first system could fly in 2020.
