On the 'Couch' The Mercury 7 astronauts examine their 'couches.' Each astronaut's couch was molded to fit his body to help withstand the G-loads of the launch. Plaster casts of the astronauts were created in order to properly mold the couches. Left to right are Alan Sheppard, John Glenn, Walter Schirra, Scott Carpenter, Gordon Cooper, Deke Slayton, Gus Grissom and Bob Gilruth. Gilruth was director of the Space Task Group, which planned and managed the Mercury Project. Image Credit: NASA

Ghostly Encounter The surface of Saturn's moon Dione is rendered in crisp detail against a hazy, ghostly Titan. Visible in this image are hints of atmospheric banding around Titan's north pole. The image was taken in visible blue light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on April 10, 2010. The view was acquired at a distance of approximately 1.8 million kilometers (1.1 million miles) from Dione and 2.7 million kilometers (1.7 million miles) from Titan. Scale in the original image was 11 kilometers (7 miles) per pixel on Dione and 16 kilometers (10 miles) on Titan. The image has been magnified by a factor of 1.5 and contrast-enhanced to aid visibility.Image Credit: NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute

Save the Children is one of few international humanitarian agencies working in Kyrgyzstan. They have been in the region since 1992 and are providing emergency relief supplies and will soon be establishing child protection programmes and health services. They have distributed health and hygiene kits to children and families affected by the violence. To date, 1,000 kits have been distributed to 5,000 beneficiaries, including Uzbeks sheltering in and living near a school in Nairman and displaced Kyrgyz women. www.savethechildren.org.uk/ Kyrgystan 12-year-old boy plays near his burnt house near the centre of Jalal-Abad, Kyrgyzstan.

Es casi imposible, dicen los expertos, conservar el legado filmográfico de Carlos Gardel. El tanguero dejó 11 películas, dos de las cuales se han perdido para siempre. Para marcar el 75 aniversario de su muerte, el Archivo Digital del Tango, una iniciativa de la organización argentina TangoVía, decidió rastrear y compilar todos los temas que interpretó en cine el cantante. Disfrute en este video de BBC Mundo imágenes del llamado "Zorzal Criollo" en la pantalla grande.

Su voz es Patrimonio de la Humanidad. Carlos Gardel llevó el tango por el mundo hasta coronarse como el cantante emblemático del género en la primera mitad del siglo XX. Han pasado 75 años de su muerte y, sin embargo, el legado gardeliano sigue vivo en el Río de la Plata. Gardel, además de tango, es una metáfora del ser porteño y un mito fundacional de la argentinidad. Véalo en este reportaje de la corresponsal de BBC Mundo en Buenos Aires, Valeria Perasso.

And so it ends. Djibril Cisse and Diaby can't believe it - France are out of the competition (having finished bottom of the group) Photograph: Cameron Spencer/Getty Images The Guardian

Thierry Henry gives the ball to Mphela after Florent Malouda pulls a goal back for France - a goal which effectively ends South Africa's hopes of making it through to the next round. It was a nicely worked goal with Bacary Sagna splitting the hosts' defence with a magnificent ball to Franck Ribery who then fed Malouda Photograph: Adnan Abidi/Reuters The Guardian

Katlego Mphela makes it 2-0 eight minutes before half-time when he bundles the ball home after more comical French defending. The chance came when Abou Diaby's spooned clearance was whipped back into the danger area. The ball then became entwined in Gael Clichy's legs, allowing Mphela to tap it into the net Photograph: Clive Mason/Getty Images The Guardian

That belief gets stronger five minutes later when France are reduced to 10 men after Yoann Gourcuff is sent off. He goes up up for a header with Macbeth Sibaya and catches the South African player in the face with his forearm. It looks like a harsh decision as it seems Gourcuff was simply using his arm for leverage rather than attempting a malicious forearm smash Photograph: Yuri Kochetkov/EPA The Guardian

Les Bleus start well, but South Africa take a shock lead in the 20th minute courtesy of some sloppy defending and a flapping goalkeeper. Siphiwe Tshabalala swings in a corner which Hugo Lloris comes for but completely misses, leaving Bongani Khumalo free to nod in at the far post. South Africa are starting to believe they can achieve the impossible ... Photograph: PETER STEFFEN/EPA The Guardian

South Africa need to win by a hatful of goals and hope Uruguay beat Mexico in order to qualify. If they fail, this will be the first time that the host nation of a World Cup hasn't reached the knock-out round.

La realidad aumentada está apareciendo cada vez más en teléfonos celulares inteligentes. Se trata de aplicaciones que utilizan la cámara del móvil y el GPS para dar información sobre lo que el usuario ve a través del lente. En unos meses más, podrá también revelar las redes sociales a las que pertenecen las personas que vemos con la cámara del celular. Vea cómo funciona en este video de David Cuen, de BBC Mundo.

Autoridades de Brasil informaron que cientos de personas están desaparecidas luego de las inundaciones provocadas por días de intensas lluvias.
