This outwordly image was taken in the Wakulla Springs cave, in the north of Florida. But it could have been taken in the seas of Jupiter’s moon Europa, where NASA plans to send a similar device one day.

The nuclear-weapon-looking probe—a $720-million underwater three-dimensional mapping system—was tested by Jill Heinerth at a depth of 300 feet during a 10,000-foot lateral movement. 44-yo Heinerth is considered the world’s top female cave diver. I just consider her one seriously kickass person.

As much as I would like to dive with on these Sentinel rebreathers, I wouldn’t get anywhere near a cave. [Daily Mail]

It’s tough to know just how often this particular problem is occurring, but we’ve heard a fair share of reports on the Zune HD‘s otherwise gorgeous OLED display having performance glitches. And needless to say, you’d notice it.

Here, the touch controls are 100% intact; the problem is that the bottom majority of the screen is completely washed out in a bright, white filter.

Study the clip at 28 seconds in. You’ll see that the display is working fine before the white mask flashes back in. While OLED engineers in the audience can feel free to correct us, we think there’s a strong possibility that the problem is software-based (and thereby firmware-fixable through a patch). But obviously, make Microsoft give you a new Zune right away if you’re encountering such an issue.
