IK prize-winning system matches images from the 24/7 news cycle with centuries-old artworks and presents them online
Seated against a deep red backdrop, gazing intently at hand-held mirrors, two eunuchs in sparkling saris inspect their appearance before Raksha Bandhan celebrations in the red light district of Mumbai.
The photograph from the Reuters news agency is an arresting contemporary scene, but a new Tate Britain project is aiming to inspire deeper reflections with images from its own collection of paintings.

An enormous, curvy, mushroom-like pavilion designed by the late architect Dame Zaha Hadid has been installed in the grounds of one of Britain's grandest stately homes.
For the last two weeks, workers have been unpacking and erecting the 23 sq m structure, called Lilas, on the south lawn of Chatsworth House, the Derbyshire home of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire.

A 19th-century wartime bunker on the Dutch waterways might not sound like the most obvious holiday rental, but two years ago it was turned into exactly that. Inspired by Le Corbusier's holiday home in the south of France, architects B-ILD came up with inventive ways to make the most of the small space, from custom-made wooden furniture that could be stowed away when it's not in use to beds that fold up against the wall.
This is just one of 70 cabins, huts and unusual hideaways featured in The Hinterland, the latest coffee table tome from German publisher Gestalten. The book taps into our need to experience quieter, emptier landscapes, even if only for a short time.
It's not just about pretty houses in nice places. We wanted to explore different lifestyles.

The gallery celebrates 50 trailblazing years with new work and old favourites by Richard Long, Marina Abramović, Yoko Ono, Dorothy Cross and more
The opening gallery is empty of objects but filled with visions. Richard Long's drawing in pale clay spreads out across the floor before you like a furrowed field or a corn maze, twisting back on itself in rectilinear patterns. The line forms a labyrinth, and you cannot help walking the line, taking a turn through this invisible harvest.
Then a storm by the sound artist Hannah Rickards reverberates through the air, sudden and violent as summer thunder. This cacophonous weather is somehow created with woodwind and brass. And high on the far wall burns a black sun or is it a dark moon? that catches the shifting light as if it were in motion in itself. This disc turns out to be nothing more than a graphite drawing, vast but humble, ideal punctuation to this abstract landscape.

In the debate about London's skyline there are certain points on which most of the protagonists developers, architects, planners, mayors, campaigners agree. There's nothing wrong with towers in principle, they say, but they should be well-designed and in the right place. The various policies regarding tall buildings say much the same thing.

What to look out for during the month of the equinox, with a solar eclipse over Africa, followed by a lunar eclipse
The month of our autumnal equinox opens with an annular or “ring” solar eclipse on 1 September which is visible along a path that sweeps across Southern Central Africa from Gabon to Madagascar. The surrounding area, where a partial solar eclipse is seen, does not extend as far north as Europe.

A spacecraft has skimmed the clouds of Jupiter in a record-breaking close approach to the giant planet. Juno activated its whole suite of nine instruments as it soared 2,600 miles above Jupiter's swirling cloudtops, travelling at 130,000mph, on Saturday.
Nasa tweeted that Juno had successfully completed its closest ever fly-by to the planet right on schedule. It is the first of 36 such passes that the craft is scheduled to make over the next 18 months.

I was intrigued by this red headed fisherman who seemed to juggle fishing rods like an elfish character out of a Disney fairy story, while sitting in the sunset light, next to the Feng Shang Princess floating restaurant on the Regents Canal, London.
