"All Marxist paths lead to Moscow! Therefore CDU" - This campaign poster, created for the West German federal elections of 1953, certainly ranks among Germany's most iconic political posters of the postwar period. It highlights Konrad Adenauer's stern anticommunist course, here directly aimed at the Social Democrats, then the leading party of the parliamentary opposition.

Video based on data from NASA's Cassini–Huygens spacecraft shows a flyover of an area of Saturn’s moon Titan known as Sotra Facula. Scientists believe Sotra is the best case for an ice volcano - or cryovolcano-- region on Titan. The flyover shows two peaks more than 1,000 meters (3,000 feet) tall and multiple craters as deep as 1,500 meters (5,000 feet).
