A drone filmed what the paddle boarder, out on the water on her birthday, calls a "magical moment".

US authorities are investigating why Sir Richard Branson's recent space flight drifted off course.

A new study by NatureScot looked at 11 species of breeding birds in Scotland over the last 35 years.

Envoy John Kerry's 'it's more important than politics' appeal falls on deaf ears.

The robot collects the first ever rock sample on another planet intended for return to Earth.

The majority of in-flight systems on the ISS have passed their expiry date, an official warns.

Digital lightning bolts and a light sculpture of a giant endangered marine mammal are among the spectacles set to light up Leeds as part of the city's annual Light Night festival.

The two-day event starting on 14 October will see some of the city's well-known buildings and landmarks lit up with colourful light projections - and this year's theme is nature and climate change.
More than 40 installations and artworks will be on show including a large-scale replica of the Earth by artist Luke Jerram and an illumination of lightning bolts on the front of Leeds Civic Hall by artist Seb Lee-Delisle, the city council said.

Last year a considerably slimmed-down festival saw lasers mounted on seven city centre buildings because of coronavirus and social distancing rules.
Organisers say this year's event "will mark a return to a more familiar format" but the programme has been adjusted to allow for additional safety measures as it expects to attract thousands of visitors.
Quote Message: It’s inspiring to know that this year’s installations will be carrying such a powerful message, encouraging all of us to consider our impact on the planet and what we can each do to make Leeds a cleaner and greener place. Light Night will also have added significance this year, coming after such an incredibly challenging time for the city." from Councillor Jonathan Pryor Leeds City Council
