The world's largest bee -- a giant insect roughly the size of a human thumb -- has been rediscovered in a remote part of Indonesia in its first sighting in nearly 40 years, researchers said Thursday.

Scientists believe the icy body is between 500 to 1,000 km)in diameter, roughly half the size of Pluto.

Astronomers from the University of Maryland have mapped the composition of Pluto's surface and confirmed the shapes, sizes and unique rotations of two of Pluto's moons.

NASA's New Horizons probe has settled one of the most basic questions about Pluto - its size.

Each of the spots is about 480km in diameter, with a surface area that is roughly the size of the US state of Missouri.
