Bradley Garrett, a photographer and researcher with a background in anthropology and archeology, has spent the past five years of his life exploring hidden and forgotten parts of cities all over the world. Sneaking into sewers and bunkers, through metro tunnels and up skyscrapers, Garrett calls his work place-hacking: "I see the access to secret spatial information available to those willing to dive through the loopholes in the system as akin to virtual hacking." These images, selections from his new book Explore Everything , from over 300 locations in eight countries, relays some of the excitement, terror, and wonder that comes with being a serial trespasser.

Hebes Chasma is a 196-mile scar that sits close to the Martian equator Origin is associated with tectonic shifts from the volcanic Tharsis Region The debris that fills the canyon floor shows that enormous landslides also played a key role in shaping Stunning new images of Mars' ‘Grand Canyon’ have been captured in 3D by the European Space Agency’s (ESA’s) Mars Express. The deep valley, named Hebes Chasma, is a strange 196-mile (315km) scar that sits almost right in the middle of the Martian equator on the northern edge of the Valles Marineris canyon. It is an enclosed, almost 8 km-deep trough stretching 315 km in an east–west direction and 125 km from north to south at its widest point. Scroll down for video...

The mosquito perished soon after feeding in the Middle Eocene and its body has been trapped in shale ever since A team of international researchers used non-destructive mass spectrometry to create a chemical picture of the mosquito's stomach contents The find extends the fossil record of blood-feeding in this family of insects by 46 million years Blood sucked by a mosquito that died 46 million years ago has been discovered by scientists. Researchers used a new technique to determine the nature of the animal's last meal to prove that the insects have been feeding on blood all this time and could even have feasted on dinosaurs.
