New images from the Nasa's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter may have identified the possible crash site of ESA's lost Schiaparelli lander. New data from the American space agency's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has identified new markings on the surface of the red planet that are believed to be related to the Schiaparelli lander's possible crash. ESA believes that it may have exploded on impact. The probe entered the Martian atmosphere at 15:42 GMT (10:42 ET) on 19 October for its 6-minute descent to the surface, but contact was lost shortly before expected touchdown. The images show a pair of before-and-after images taken by the Context Camera (CTX) on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter on 29 May 2016 and 20 October 2016 showing two new features appearing following the arrival of the Schiaparelli test lander module on 19 October

Battlefield that led to the conquest of Jerusalem uncovered: Site of Roman emperor Titus' 'Third Wall' siege in A.D. 70 found - complete with the stones soldiers used in grisly battle
Archaeologists have discovered the remains of an ancient tower thought to have once stood atop Jerusalem’s fabled ‘Third Wall,’ breached during the Roman emperor Titus’ siege of the city 2,000 years ago. The grisly battle ultimately led to the conquest of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Second Temple, and researchers have long debated the details of the city’s boundaries on the eve of the onslaught in 70 AD. Not far from the tower, the team also found scores of projectile stones that were catapulted at guards who stood atop the tower, providing new evidence of the ancient battle that could be proof of the wall’s existence at the site.
Jupiter becomes a massive smiley face in one of the last images from Nasa's Juno spacecraft before its computers crashed
A new image from the Juno spacecraft appears to show Jupiter with a bright, smiling face, pictured on left. The image was processed by citizen scientist Randy Ahn, who copied and flipped the feature to turn it into a smiley face of astronomical proportions. Another image, generated by Alex Mai, reveals the sunlit part of Jupiter along with the planet’s swirling atmosphere, pictured on the bottom right. Top right, Jupiter's cloud formations are illustrated.

The veins of America: Stunning map shows every river basin in the US
A stunning new map shows the complex network of rivers and streams in the contiguous United States. Created by Imgur user Fejetlenfej , a geographer and GIS analyst with a ‘lifelong passion for beautiful maps,’ it highlights the massive expansive of river basins across the country – in particular, that which feeds the Mississippi River. The map visualizes Strahler Stream Order Classification, the creator explains, with higher steam orders indicated as thicker lines.
Iceland is using 'Thor's hammer' to harness the power of MAGMA: Drilling rig begins work on 3 mile hole to harvest geothermal energy
Using a drilling rig called 'Thor' (main), the Iceland Deep Drilling Project (IDDP) is digging three miles into old lava flows in Reykjanes to harvest geothermal energy. The team aims to produce the hottest hole in the world with temperatures anywhere between 752°F and 1832°F. The drilling itself is expected to be completed by the end of 2016 and after that the project will enter a two and a half year test period.
Airbus unveils its self flying 'Uber air' taxi: Vahana set to take to the skies next year and can be summoned by smartphone
To combat urban congestion, Airbus has been working on a fleet of self-flying taxis that are set to hit the market in 2020. Called Vahana, this sleek self-flying aircraft seats one passenger under a canopy that retracts similar to a motorcycle helmet visor - riders will also have the ability to summon the craft through their smartphones. Airbus announced last year that one of Vahan's first projects will be working with Uber to create a new business model for helicopter operators.
Mystery of the Bermuda Triangle solved? Hexagonal clouds creating terrifying air bombs with 170mph winds may be to blame for disappearing ships and planes, scientists claim
The Bermuda Triangle in the North Atlantic Ocean has been blamed for hundreds of vanishing planes and ships, but now researchers have come up with a theory that could explain it all. Scientists believe the so-called air bombs create 170mph winds that can bring planes crashing into the sea and 45ft high waves capable of engulfing ships. At least 1,000 lives have been lost in the Triangle in the last 100 years. On average, four planes and 20 ships go missing every year.
Does this mysterious piece of aluminium prove UFOs visited Earth 250,000 years ago?
The mysterious is said to have been found in Romanian town of Aiud in 1973 but kept under wraps at the time. Builders working on the shores of the Mures River not far from the central Romanian town of Aiud found three objects 10 metres (33 feet) under the ground. One of these was the mystery metal object (pictured).
Watch what a fully-autonomous Tesla can do: Impressive video shows a car drive through town and parallel park by itself
The video shows the vehicle leaving someone's garage in California, driving on a busy road, navigating through a car park and parallel parking (top left) itself. Musk claimed the technology will soon enable 'full autonomy all the way from LA to New York,' saying this would be achieved 'without the need for a single touch.' In the video (screenshot right) someone is in the driver's seat, but the company stressed this was for legal reasons and the driver did not drive the car for the whole journey.
Hitler's secret 'Treasure Hunter' Arctic base which was abandoned after its staff poisoned themselves eating polar bears is found by Russian scientists

The site on Alexandra Land, an isolated island in the Arctic, was used to gather weather reports for military operation, but may have had a mission to find ancient artifacts.

Planet Nine could be making the solar system WOBBLE: Sun's strange tilt may be caused by mysterious world's orbit
The controversial Planet Nine may be adding a wobble to the solar system, making it appear the sun (pictured) is tilted.

Meet the underwater ghost ship: Stealth military machine can travel at high speed on water - then submerge in a 'supercavitation bubble' to hit similar speeds under the sea
Juliet Marine Systems has unveiled plans for an underwater version of its drag-reducing Ghost boat. The new concept, called the Guardian (pictured as the main image), is a ‘submersible unmanned surface vehicle’ that creates a bubble of gas around itself to minimize friction, allowing it to hit a top speed of roughly 40 mph. It works on the principle of supercavitation, allowing for a smooth ride even in rough seas. Its predecessor, the Ghost boat, is shown on the top right.

Bosses at the British technology company, based in Wiltshire, aren't looking for traditional CVs, or covering letters - what they want is someone clever enough to solve this 50-second long puzzle (pictured main). The video tells applicants the key to working out the cryptic animations lies within the footage. 'Hello, we're Dyson, the global technology company,' the voice-over says. 'Our philosophy is to make things that work better, so when it came to hiring new talent we wanted to find a better way to find people who think like us. 'That's why we made our recruitment challenge, Rethinkers.' Inventor James Dyson founded the firm (inset).
