Southern California see mysterious streaks of light flash across starry night sky

A streak of light described by locals as a 'fireball' is seen over San Diego. For the second time in three years, residents of the San Diego area were awed to the point that road traffic stopped when a fast-moving light teal blue flash appeared majestically over the horizon. While the National Weather Service was unable to offer up an explanation for the sighting, Dr. Ed Krupp of the Griffith Observatory said that it was most likely a meteor. Krupp dismissed the suggestion that the meteor was part of the Perseid shower, which extends from July to late August.

Chinese tomb housing 1,500-year-old skeleton found buried in golden jewellery and beads

The tomb was discovered in Datong City, China, and dates back to 1,500 years ago. Inside were the remains of the wife of a Chinese magistrate still draped in her exquisite jewellery. The tomb is thought to date to just a few decades before the collapse of the Northern Wei dynasty in 534 AD. The researchers, from the Datong Municipal Institute of Archaeology, were surveying the area before a construction project when they came across the tomb (pictured). She wore a pendant with a sequin-bead pattern on its neck and an inverted lotus flowers carved into it (pictured inset). Her earrings were decorated with gold, teardrop-shaped designs inlaid with gemstones (also shown inset).

Scientists discovered unusual but vivid pictograms depicting a series of scenes and individuals from this ancient civilisation.

Scientists discuss the chilling ways we might stop the spread of a zombie-like state

Joanna Verran and Matthew Crossley, both lecturers at Manchester Metropolitan University, say there are four main ways we could deal with a zombie apocalypse, such as those depicted in films such as Shaun of the Dead (pictured). An obvious strategy is to quarantine the infected individuals, possibly with the hope of developing a cure or vaccine. A strategy often seen in zombie stories is for the uninfected to hide away, essentially isolating those who are healthy from those who are infected. A selective cull that involves attempting to remove the infected individuals from the population permanently is another option. If all else fails, governments could eradicate the infected area with a pre-emptive cull.

Lava from Hawaii volcano cascades into sea in vivid display

But tourists who are flocking to the island are warned the hardened rock can be as sharp as glass.

Our world maps are WRONG: Countries near the poles are distorted

The familiar 'Mercator' projection that is used to create maps, such as the one bottom right, distorts the size of landmasses, particularly towards the north.

Russia is also not as large as it is depicted, while Africa is vast and capable of encapsulating the US, Europe, India and China comfortably on its landmass (top right).
