M/S Sea Diamond in 2005

HD 209458 b, an extrasolar planet in the constellation Pegasus, is discovered to contain water vapour in its atmosphere.

The fifteen Royal Navy personnel accused of trespassing into Iranian waters are released after a two-week detention.

TGV POS trainset number 4402 sets a new world speed record for railed vehicles at 574.8 km/h (357 mph) during test runs conducted in Champagne, France.

Islamist insurgents and Somali clan militias in Mogadishu clash with government forces, Ethiopian troops and African Union peacekeepers as casualties continue to mount months after the defeat of the Islamic Courts Union.

Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko dissolves the parliament and calls for an early parliamentary election, a move denounced by the parliament as unconstitutional.
