Judging by newly released photos and video, the crew aboard Ocean Exploration Trust's Nautilus research vessel had an extremely productive summer trip to the South Pacific. Over 22 days, the team completed detailed archaeological surveys of more than a dozen shipwrecks sunk amid the Solomon Islands campaign during World War II. In addition to imaging four of them for the first time, experts guided remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) towards the rediscovery of two long-lost vessels:the separated bow from the USS New Orleans as well as the Imperial Japanese Naval destroyer Teruzuki. Although researchers originally spotted some of these shipwrecks more than 34 years ago, Ocean Exploration Trust president Robert Ballard explained that the most recent trip to Iron Bottom Sound provided opportunities to document their finds using a new generation of technology including high-definition survey cameras, underwater vehicles, and imaging tools aboard the EV Nautilus.

In 1917, two US submarines collided off the coast of San Diego and submarine USS F-1 sank to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, along with 19 crew members aboard. The horrible accident, whose wreckage was discovered in 1975, represents the US Naval Submarine Force's first wartime submarine loss. Now, researchers from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution have captured new footage of the 1,300 feet-deep underwater archaeological site. "They were technical dives requiring specialized expertise and equipment," Anna Michel, a co-lead of the expedition and chief scientist at the National Deep Submergence Facility, said in a statement. "We were careful and methodical in surveying these historical sites so that we could share these stunning images, while also maintaining the reverence these sites deserve."

Existing microscope technology means that we can only observe cells in an isolated environment, often restricted to a simple glass slide. But now, thanks to a breakthrough discovery, scientists have found a way to study cellular processes in their natural habitat: deep inside living organisms. In a study published Friday in Science, researchers describe how they developed a new kind of microscope that uses sophisticated'guide star' technology. The result is a series of mesmerizing high-resolution 3D videos that document biological processes in never-before-seen detail. Researchers from Harvard Medical School, Boston Children's Hospital and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute collaborated for the study.

Nasa has released a dazzling 4K tour of the moon using data collected from its orbiting spacecraft. The tour gives a stunning new perspective of the moon's desolate surface, moving between regular views and digitally enhanced footage. It takes the view on a trip through the fascinating lunar features, such as the 2,500-km (1,600-mile)-wide South Pole-Aitken Basin and the famous landing site of the Apollo 17 mission. Presenter reduced to tears as he's shown child sex robot in Japan Incredible footage gives a stunning new perspective of the desolate surface that man walked on for the first time on July 20th, 1969. One digitally enhanced image (pictured) shows the Orientale Basin, located on the western border of the far side of the moon, which resembles a target ring bulls-eye. The impact structure's outermost rim - the Cordillera Mountains - is 930 km (580 miles) in diameter The video was created from nine years' worth of data harvested by the space agency's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO).

Google has today launched a re-imagined version of its free Earth mapping service, weaving in storytelling and artificial intelligence. The new programme lets people get a close-up look of the planet from the comfort of their computers, smartphones or tablets. The new-look Google Earth enables its users to learn about far-flung corners of the globe under the guidance of scientists from Nasa and prestigious research institutions. Google Earth's new start-up screen offers a global view of the Earth. 'This is our gift to the world,' Google Earth director Rebecca Moore said.

From our every day perspective, the insects and spiders that surround us usually appear to encased inside smooth and shiny exoskeletons. But a new selection of macro-images reveal that if we were to meet these miniature beasts at their own level, we would discover their bodies are actually covered in thick fur, fur like bristles and scales that look almost like feathers. The world of the small has been brought into focus in stunning detail thanks to a series of macro photographs from an amateur wildlife photographer, which reveals the creatures as very different from how we normally see them. The incredible series of images show insects and arachnids in stunning detail. Captured by Russian software architect Vasily Menshov, the series reveals the hairy antennae of mosquitoes, the feather like scales of butterflies and the alien-like appearance of hoverflies.
