Here’s an entertaining animated image of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko that was take on July 14, 2014 by OSIRIS, the scientific imaging system aboard the European Space Agency’s comet hunting spacecraft Rosetta. The image was taken from a distance of around 12,000 km and is made up of a sequence of 36 images that were taken once every 20 minutes. (© ESA/Rosetta/IMPS)

On July 17, 2014 Russian scientists said that they believe that changing temperatures may be responsible for creating this 60-meter wide crater that was recently discovered in far northern Siberia. Scientists from the Scientific Research Center of the Arctic developed the theory since they found that 80% of the giant crater is made of ice and that there were no traces of an explosion, which eliminated a meteorite strike as its origin.

On Saturday, July 12, 2014 the world was treated to a remarkable sight in the night sky; a “supermoon”. Also called a perigee moon, it’s shown here rising over the Queens borough of New York. Scientists say that a “supermoon” takes place when the moon is close to the horizon, making it appear larger and much brighter than other “regular” full moons. (AP)
