Scientists from the Delft University of Technology say slapping cigarette-style warning stickers on packs of meat in supermarkets could be an effective way to shame buyers. The stickers could include sad images of cooped up battery hens, accompanied by the message 'eating meat makes animals suffer', or images of decimated forests reading 'by eating meat, you destroy the Amazon rainforest.'
'These objects are way more massive than anyone expected,' said Joel Leja, assistant professor of astronomy and astrophysics at Penn State. 'We expected only to find tiny, young, baby galaxies at this point in time, but we've discovered galaxies as mature as our own in what was previously understood to be the dawn of the universe.' The researchers said their new discovery 'pushes the limits of our understanding of cosmology' and suggests that galaxies grew massive quicker than expected early in the history of the universe. The six massive new galaxies are pictured.

A space tourism firm has said it is going to start offering helium balloon trips to the stratosphere later this year. Japanese start-up Iwaya Giken promises passengers on its vessel a view of the curvature of the Earth from an altitude of 15 miles (25 km).

Despite the hefty price tag, the company's CEO, Keisuke Iwaya, hopes that commercialising space travel will eventually help bring the cost down.

Speculation that aliens might exist dates back to philosophers in ancient Greece, but it was the middle of the 20th century when people's imaginations really began to run riot - suddenly 'little green men' were everywhere in popular culture. Although the use of the phrase is believed to have originated in 1908, it was between the 1920s and 50s that green Martian characters were plastered all over the covers of science fiction magazines and later people's TVs. The reality is that if extraterrestrial life does exist in our solar system it will be of a more simpler variety, perhaps hidden in Venus' clouds, beneath Mars' surface or in the vast underground oceans of one of Saturn's icy moons. But where else is the best bet of finding it? MailOnline spoke to a number of experts to find out.

Wales, East Riding in Yorkshire and Somerset rank third, fourth and fifth respectively in the UK regions seen as most at risk. However 16 of the top twenty states and provinces in the world which are most susceptible to physical damage from extreme weather are in China. The list comes from climate data provider XDI Systems, which compared over 2,600 global regions by their projected levels of damage from climate change hazards. These include river flooding, coastal flooding, extreme heat, forest fires, drought-related soil movement, extreme wind, freeze thaw and sea level rise.
Barbara Hernandez, a swimmer from Chile, became the first person to complete the distance in the Antarctic Ocean, where water temperatures are just 35.6°F (2°C).

These incredible James Webb images are more than just beautiful mosaics of nearby galaxies - they could also offer vital clues about star formation. That's because the galaxies they capture - including the 18th century-discovered Phantom Galaxy - are filled with gas and dust that sit in the space between planets, stars and asteroids. Known as the interstellar medium, this is of particular significance to astronomers because under the right conditions it is where stars form. Drill a bit deeper within this void of space and you get what are called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which is what researchers at the University of California San Diego concentrated on in the new Webb images.
