Philae is found! Rosetta finally spots the long-lost lander wedged into an icy crevice on comet 67P
It has been careering through the solar system on the frozen, dark surface of a comet, completely alone for nearly two years. Now the Philae lander (outlined in red), which bumped messily down onto the surface of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in November 2014, has finally been foundon the comet's surface. Cameras onboard Europe's comet orbiter Rosetta has spotted the tiny lander Philae for the first time since its crash-landing. The discovery comes a few weeks before the European Space Agency plans to crash Rosetta on to the comet end its mission.
Ahoy there! Jeff Williams tweets incredible panoramic video showing boats sailing down New York's Hudson River - as seen on a sunny day from space
Record-breaking US astronaut Jeff Williams revealed the stunning image in a tweet - and Nasa staff on earth were even able to create a video panorama for him appearing to show a sail down the Hudson River. The ISS has several cameras on board, and a selection of lenses for them. 'They are actually video clips made of panoramas of still photography stitched together, and folks on the ground have made a video clip of them,' he explained.

Is this a LIVE Tasmanian tiger? Man claims to have captured thylacine extinct since 1936 on camera in his South Australian backyard
Animal enthusiasts believe they have captured footage of the extinct Tasmanian tiger, or thylacine, wandering around a backyard in Adelaide in February this year. The footage, which lasts about three seconds, was posted online by the Thylacine Awareness Group of Australia. Researcher Neil Waters claims the animal in the footage is a small thylacine. The thylacine, or Tasmanian tiger, became extinct in 1936 when the last known animal died at Hobart zoo.
The final resting place of U576: German U-Boat is found 30 miles off the coast of North Carolina 72 years after it sank during Nazi campaign of terror - and 44 soldiers are entombed inside
Wreckage of the submerged U-576 submarine was discovered by sonar near Ocracoke on August 24, seven years after the search began. The vessel went down during a wild battle off the Outer Banks on 15 July, 1942, during the Second World War. It is believed the 44 sailors (some pictured top and bottom left) who were on board at the time are entombed inside. Video footage shows the U-Boat resting on its side on the ocean floor. It lies below an area where Third Reich sailors destroyed merchant ships and caused chaos on trade routes, eight months after the United States entered the war. They killed hundreds of people in the process. The wooden decking has rotted away after more than half a century under water. But the hull, gun deck and the hatches leading to where the bodies likely lie are still visible.
Well it's certainly a big foot! Has this baffling new footage of huge hairy legs captured the Sasquatch?
An astonished local Law Enforcement Officer was taken aback by the footage, filmed in the Sequoia National Forest in Northern California. The short 10 second clip shows two huge hairy legs but does not reveal the creature's face. The recording was taken 27 miles deep into the park, in a region only accessible by foot. Officers were reportedly on the hunt for guerrilla grown Marijuana, where they had set up camera traps to catch the growers on film. Instead might they have stumbled upon the fabled BigFoot?

Is the mystery of the 'impossible' fuel free EmDrive thruster about to be solved? Claims secretive Nasa lab to publish paper on 'warp drive' that could take humans to Mars in 10 weeks
Many argue the concept is simply hype, suggesting the design goes against the laws of physics - and now, a Nasa lab that has been studying the concept is set to publish its findings for the first time. The so-called EmDrive creates thrust by bouncing microwaves around in an enclosed chamber, and uses only solar power.

Billionaires at war: 'Disappointed' Mark Zuckerberg hits out at SpaceX after Facebook's $200m satellite explodes but Elon Musk says the cause is 'unknown' as his fortune drops $390m in one day
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg expressed his 'deep disappointment' at the destruction of his revolutionary $200million satellite on Thursday when the SpaceX Falcon 9 owned by Elon Musk's company suffered a catastrophic explosion on the Cape Canaveral launch pad during a routine pre-launch check. Zuckerberg is currently visiting several countries in Africa and likely would have marked the occasion of Facebook's Amos 6 satellite being launched into orbit on Saturday, had it not been destroyed around 9am in the massive blast. The satellite was to provide at least 14 countries on the continent and Middle East with free broadband. Zuckerberg's statement about the loss of the satellite appears to be a jab at fellow billionaire Musk, who lost about $390million as the stock prices of two of his companies, Telsa and SolarCity, dropped after the accident at Cape Canaveral.
White House unveils stunning interactive 3D maps of Alaska in bid to better track climate change in the Arctic
As climate change poses an ongoing threat to the global ecosystem, few areas are being affected as rapidly or severely as the Arctic; the region is warming at double the rate of the global average temperature. In efforts to track these changes and mitigate the risks they present, researchers have launched a collaborative effort to create satellite-based elevation maps of the entire Arctic by 2017. The project is the result of an Executive Order made by President Obama last year, and now, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and the National Science Foundation have completed a major step toward this goal, revealing a stunning new series of 3D maps plotting Alaska's terrain. On left, Alaska's Wolverine Glacier is pictured, while Mount Aniakchak (top) and the Seward Peninsula (bottom) can be seen on right
Want to buy a used robot? Nasa to auction terrifying 1965 PDAD humanoid used to test spacesuits
More than 50 years ago, Nasa designed a life-size android to test spacesuits, in order to understand how the human body would act in a pressurized suit - but it never fulfilled its mission due to its tendency to leak oil. Now, Nasa rejected robot is being offered at auction starting September 15 for a 10 day long sale online from RR Auction, who has marked the metallic astronaut with an $80,000 price tag.
Watch a stunning double eclipse in front of the sun: Nasa's observatory captures amazing footage as Earth and then the moon block its view of the solar surface
As stargazers in southern and central Africa marveled at the spectacular 'ring of fire' eclipse early Thursday morning, Nasa's Solar Dynamics Observatory made a remarkable observation of its own. The SDO captured the moments both Earth and the moon crossed in front of the sun, briefly blocking its view. In footage of the event, Earth can be seen passing across the face of the sun first, distinguished by its 'fuzzy' appearance, and ending just in time for the observatory to witness the end of the lunar transit.
Planet Nine could wreak havoc on our solar system: Mystery world may eject one of the gas giants, warns expert
Researchers from the University of Warwick, have suggested that when the sun dies, Planet Nine could hurl one or more planet out of the solar system, in a sort of 'pinball' effect. The researchers used a unique code that can simulate the death of planetary systems. Mapping the numerous different positions where Planet Nine is thought to lie, the researchers showed that the further away and more massive the planet is, the higher the chance that it will wreak havoc on the solar system.
