Some people claim to have a great view from their bedroom window or work desk. Their claims are worth nothing compared to the view the astronauts onboard the ISS get. Read More >>

It's really easy to dismiss the claims that a rapidly declining bee population is a bad thing. You're not a fan of honey, so it's not like they really do anything for you, right? Wrong. This barren foodscape is pretty much what we'll be left with if bees go extinct. Read More >>

Despite Apple not really showing us what iOS 7 on the larger screened iDevices will look like -- just the iPhone and iPod touch -- it seems the iOS 7 emulator has a load of secrets to unveil. Here's what an iPad with iOS 7 will probably look like. Read More >>

This expanse of metal might not look much, but it's actually the NASA test facility that allows engine manufacturers to simulate flying through the upper atmosphere—and ensure engines don't fail when things get too cold. Read More >>

Photographers often go to exotic locations for unbelievable situations to see never before seen areas of the world to get that one perfect shot. It's a constant search of trying to outdo yourself to capture something new. But sorry, you can go to the ends of the world and not outdo NASA Astronaut Chris Cassidy. This shot from space is beautiful. Read More >>

There's nothing gentle or delicate about this butterfly. Despite its pleasant appearance, the Butterfly Nebula has a dying star at its centre that has a temperature of 250,000 degrees C. Read More >>

Thursday marked the 69th anniversary of D-Day, the largest amphibious invasion in history and the beginning of the end for the Axis Powers. After 179,000 British, US, and Canadian troops stormed the beaches of Normandy and secured a foothold for the Allies, war photographer Frank Scherschel surveyed the French town's nearly complete destruction. Only a dwindling number of veterans witnesses the attack, but these unusual colour photos bring us a bit closer to the action. Check out the full gallery of architectural annihilation over at Time Life. Read More >>

I've always been amazed by wind tunnels. Why? First of all, they're massive structures. Then there's the remarkable contribution they make to science and engineering—without wind tunnels, we likely wouldn't have developed the aerospace technology that put us on the moon. And finally, wind tunnels are often simply gorgeous, dramatic spaces. For proof, see the striking images below, which span almost a full century of wind tunnel testing. Read More >>

Did you know that the District line used to run all the way from Windsor to Southend in Essex? Or that the Metropolitan line ran miles outside of Zone 9? Taking the work of Dylan Maryk, a tube enthusiast, Us Versus Them put all the dead or moved stations onto the iconic tube schematic. The result is this eye-opening "ghost" station map. Read More >>

This looks like it seriously hurts, but apparently no one was killed by the flying pieces of wood. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ship launch went as planned, apart from the fact that no one thought to cater for the wooden launch braces underneath the ship. Flying timbers in your face was the result. Read More >>

To be honest, this image looks a helluva lot more like an eyeball or a marble than the glowing fiery orange orb floating in our sky that we call the Sun. But nope, it's our Sun all right. It looks off because the image was captured through three of NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory's extreme ultraviolet filters. But what's up with that gaping hole? Read More >>

That's not the USS Vengeance going supercritical, thankfully, just the massive 4.6 billion-year-old nuclear fusion reaction that is our Sun. A member of Expedition 36, the newly installed ISS crew, snapped this impressive shot as the station recently passed over Minnesota. Read More >>

Most galaxies, like the Milky Way, have two or more spiral "arms," but NGC 4725 only has one. Don't worry NGC 4725 you may be weird, but we still love you and think you're great looking. Space is a safe space. Read More >>

Michael "phwoah" Bay's just dolled out some photos of the redesigned transforming cars from his next instalment in the Transformers saga. While the movies have been a tad crap, the cars in them (before they become robots, obviously) have always looked damn cool. Transformers 4 looks like it's continuing the trend. Check out these beauties. Read More >>

We've all seen our fair share of rocks, and most of them aren't that pretty. The ones that are though, can be totally mind-blowing. Ryoji Tanaka, a Japanese photographer and chemist, likes to capture some of the most striking elements, minerals, and compounds in close-up (like the Uranium-containing cuprosklodowskite you see above) and the results are crazy awesome.
