Prague, Czech Republic — A Soviet-era World War II tank painted pink is hoisted onto a boat to be transported to the center of the city. Original Soviet Army tank No. 23 had been on display since the end of the war until visual artist David Cerny painted it pink in 1991. The Czech Republic is commemorating the 20th anniversary of the departure of Soviet troops who invaded the country, then known as Czechoslovakia, in 1968.

Deep space — NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope captured this image of an emerald nebula, reminiscent of the glowing ring wielded by the superhero Green Lantern. In the comic books, the diminutive Guardians of the Planet "Oa" forged his power ring, but astronomers believe rings like this are actually sculpted by the powerful light of giant "O" stars, the most massive type of star known to exist. Named RCW 120, this region of hot gas and glowing dust can be found in the murky clouds encircled by the tail of the constellation Scorpius.
