Supernova producing a Black Hole
This animation shows how a black hole may have formed in SN 1979C. The collapse of a massive star is shown, after it has exhausted its fuel. A flash of light from a shock breaking through the surface of the star is then shown, followed by a powerful supernova explosion. The view then zooms into the center of the explosion.

Evidence for Flowing water on Mars
An image combining orbital imagery with 3-D modeling shows flows that appear in spring and summer on a slope inside Mars’ Newton crater. Sequences of observations recording the seasonal changes at this site and a few others with similar flows might be evidence of salty liquid water active on Mars today.
Big Bang experiments at CERN
Scientists shoot particles through a 16-mile long accelerator called CERN at the speed of light. And when the particles collide together in a vacuum colder than -271 Celsius, they put on a spectacular show.
Lexus Aileron Concept
Conceptualized by designer Jiyun Seo, the concept car apparently utilizes the principles of origami. In theory, the design would have the surface of the car folded like an accordion that would bend and twist to allow maximum performance.
