Hong Kong riot police have fired tear gas at egg-hurling activists defacing the national emblem during pro-democracy demonstrations today on the seventh weekend of anti-government protests. Pictures show the Chinese emblem being splattered with eggs and coated with a thick layer of black paint in the latest expression of protest against mainland authorities. Protesters are calling for an independent investigation into police tactics as there is seemingly no end in sight to the turmoil engulfing the finance hub, sparked by years of rising anger over Beijing's rule. 👮🏻‍♂️ #retract

Police detained 25 people after far-right groups attacked peaceful LGBT protesters taking part in their first ever Pride parade in the Polish city of Bialystok. Around 500 members of the LGBT community marched through the streets of the city to celebrate equality on Saturday. Police in riot gear were drafted in to protect demonstrators as they made their way through and were targeted by people shouting homophobic insults and wearing football T-shirts. Some men were seen wearing nationalist clothing, amid claims by some far-right groups that homosexuality is a 'threat to traditional Polish values'. #facepalm

Fifty years on, remnants from the 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing are still visible on the moon's surface, essentially frozen in time. Without the threat of wind and water erosion we're used to on earth, even the footprints left behind by the Apollo 11 astronauts are believed to still be cemented into the moon's surface. Satellite images offer a glimpse of the bleached American flag, astronaut boot prints and lunar equipment frozen in time at the Apollo 11 landing site 50 years later. Buzz Aldrin described the moon's 'magnificent desolation' when he and Neil Armstrong became the first humans to ever set foot on the lunar landscape that had set untouched for 4.5 billion years. The astronauts left behind ample evidence of their expedition, some scientific and some sentimental. 🗿 #history
