The Artemis II crew captured this view of an Earthset on April 6, 2026, as they flew around the Moon. The image is reminiscent of the iconic Earthrise image taken by astronaut Bill Anders 58 years earlier as the Apollo 8 crew flew around the Moon.
Check out the feet on this Pileated Woodpecker! Pileated Woodpeckers have zygodactyl feet; two toes forward and two toes backward. These birds also have their outermost rear toe being able to rotate 90 degrees to help with stability (Ospreys and owls can do this as well.)
The Queen of the Boardwalk, a Northern Cardinal, and a female Red-bellied Woodpecker visit the Hand of Snacks. The Queen is briefly interrupted but she returns to finish her meal.

On Christmas Eve 1968, in Lunar orbit, the Apollo 8 crew took this photo: “Earthrise."
I'll never forget how inspiring the Apollo missions were to my brother and me as kids. They showed us what our country and humanity can accomplish when we work together toward a common goal.
Warren Spahn matched the AL/NL record #OTD in 1952 when he struck out 18 Cubs batters.
While he was at it, the left-hander also slugged a solo homer to provide the Boston Braves’ only run in the game. https://t.co/g1XQ816WvL
60 years ago today, on April 1, 1965, The Sound of Music premiered in theaters across the USA.
It was an instant hit — winning 5 Oscars, and becoming the highest-grossing film of all time. To this day, it's one of the most beloved musicals ever.
Sassafras the Eastern screech owl somehow looking the most ridiculous and most cute simultaneously while molting. Screech owls are exceptional night hunters. This great video is brought to you by Great American Insurance Group.
A PRICELESS PIC/ EXPRESSION FROM 3 weeks ago when I presented Pope Francis a WILLETT BOURBON BOTTLE from the JUBILEE YEAR SERIES of only 55 bottles. He stated “Oooh, More Holy Water!” #missionaryofmercy
