- An all-day 3D television network may be on your channel lineup in the near future.
Discovery, Sony, and IMAX each will be equal partners in the joint venture. It will be launched in the U.S., with a goal of driving consumer adoption of 3D televisions and giving the network long-term leadership in the 3D home marketplace.
- Five new lightweight planets discovered via Kepler space telescope.
All five planets in question are really close to nearby stars making them a little too hot for any actual human/alien life. Also, the orbital period is about three to four days but still, your face would melt off.

- Mini-Stonehenge recently discovered a couple miles away from original Stonehenge.
I love how National Geographic not only references Spinal Tap in the article, but they do so in the very first sentence.

- Lost Venetian city just recently uncovered by scientists.
Infrared images, which reveal heat given off from the ground, showed how drought affected corn and soybean crops growing over the site, in turn revealing the streets, buildings and even the large canal that once ran through the middle of the vanquished city.

- A new class of black hole may have just been found.
Scientists are not 100% positive yet about this finding. After all, an extraordinarily bright object in a galaxy 290 million light-years away could be well... anything.
