Researchers from the University of Bonn in Germany and the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada have developed a camera that can see around corners without the aid of mirrors. The system can reconstruct the shape of objects using diffusely scattered laser light.

A study just carried out by Dr. Rob Jenkins of the University of York and Christie Kerr of the University of Glasgow, both in the UK, has found that the picture of a high-end camera is capable of seeing images reflected from the corneas of a subject being photographed.

On Wednesday, NASA unveiled a rather large postcard sent back from Mars in the form a panoramic image over a gigapixel in size.

Some 407 images from the surface of Mars come together to create a stunning interactive four-gigapixel panorama.
