Batman-style rover could be the future of exploration on Mars

NASA is displaying a concept Mars rover passenger vehicle that the space agency hopes will inspire public interest in interplanetary travel. The rover, which looks like an SUV that may have been designed for Batman, seats six humans. It is meant to be a general design concept for the kinds of vehicles that could potentially transport explorers across the surface of the red planet. Jul 21, 2017

At least two dead after 6.7 magnitude earthquake hits tourist hotspots in Greece and Turkey

The US Geological Survey said at around 1.30am local time on Friday morning (21 July) a magnitude 6.7 quake struck 10km south of the Turkish city of Bodrum and 16km north-east of Kos, Greece, areas popular with British tourists. The European quake agency EMSC reported the prospect of a small tsunami. However, this was downplayed by Turkish officials who said large waves, rather than a tsunami, were expected. Jul 21, 2017
