As i show news articles daily, there are two ways of presenting a headline-

A person / thing does something (Present simple)
Example : Astronauts arrive to the Earth from space station.
something is done with a person / thing (present simple passive)
Example :Two person killed in an accident.

Actually, these are very unlikely British news headlines. Depending on the space available, sub-editors would be more likely to come ip with:

Astronauts home
Space station heroes return
Down to Earth Astronauts

It means X - What does it mean?
I live in Prague? Where
