This baby elephant, only three days old, resides in the Berlin Zoo. But he doesn't have a name yet! Ridiculous! We did some Googling and came up with a few suggestions: Dirk, Elmar, Otto von Bismarck, Flöhchen (little flea), Fuzzi, Quax or Zuckerpuppe. Let us know which of these you pick, Berlin Zoo!

The Jewel Caterpillar - probably, though it hasn't been formally confirmed, an Acraga coa, belonging to a family of moths known as Alceridae - is sometimes known as a "slug caterpillar" due to gooeyness. This one was photographed near Cancun, Mexico. 

This artist's concept of a so-called "super Earth" is a representation of a first-of-its-kind view that NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope caught this week. For the first time, we've seen direct light from a super Earth, "using its sensitive heat-seeking infrared vision." The planet is incredibly close to the star it orbits, and probably has a rocky core surrounded by both liquid and gaseous water. 

We learned last week that, to protect the games or possibly just freak us the hell out, some London residents will play host to rooftop missiles during the Olympics. Here's what that missile will look like: a Starstreak High Velocity Missile. High-tech weaponry goes domestic - who would have thought?

This is a calico lobster. Caught off the coast of Maine, it was originally going to be eaten, because obviously, lobsters are delicious, that's what you do with them. But its weird colouration (only 1 in 30 million are coloured this way) led it to the New England Aquarium instead. 

Zhang Wuyi, a farmer, created this double-seater sub - one of six. This picture was shot during a test operation of the sub in a controlled pool. Zhang recently sold one of his subs for around US $15,000.

The US Geological Survey occasionally exhibits some of the amazing satellite imagery taken of our planet - even though the satellite is for scientific purposes, sometimes it produces just stunningly beautiful images.

Danish architecture firm called BIG have designed an apartment building, or group of buildings, or something, that is shaped like a hashtag. #Unlikely but #supercool. Reckon they're a fan of Twitter? 

This artist's concept of the galaxy Arp 220 is based on data picked up by the Hubble Space Telescope. It's meant to show how a black hole that's revving up in power can suppress a galaxy's ability to birth new stars. 

In one of our favourite stories of the week, a team of scientists sought to answer a question that has plagued absolutely nobody for absolutely no time: why does cereal taste better with milk than with water? Included in the article (which had amazing quotes) were these precise/hilarious magnified shots of soggy breakfast cereal.
