Safety first! The Artemis II astronauts can be seen in their eclipse glasses, worn to protect their eyes when they experienced a solar eclipse on April 6. The Sun, the Moon, and the Orion spacecraft aligned — and Moon joy was had!

Historic! This is the highest quality video ever taken of the moon!

Congratulations to the crew of #ArtemisII on going beyond where no human has gone before! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

A Pakistani imam in Italy gave a sermon on national TV defending the right of Muslim men to marry 9-year-old girls. The next day, PM Giorgia Meloni personally requested that he be deported. He had lived in Italy for 9 years! Do you agree with Giorgia’s decision?

What if you could go back in time and have fifteen minutes with someone you loved, but who is no longer with us? Who would you choose, and more importantly, which fifteen minutes would it be? Preorder The new novella by Amanda Prowse - out 7 April 2026. bit.ly/FifteenMInutes…

This is Amaury Guichon and he made this entire Easter basket out of chocolate. I've never seen anything like this before. It's mesmerizing!! 🐇

Having received a multitude of complaints about King Charles III's failure to mark the most important day in the Christian calendar, the day of Resurrection, despite having marked Ramadan and Eid, and having recognised that his Christian subjects' just concerns should be listened to and acted upon when doing so costs very little and will reap dividends above and beyond the effort expended, while failing to do so might ultimately prove to be irreversibly damaging, I hope he will begin listening to the complaints of his subjects, and not fall prey to the error which his first cousins three times removed, Tsar Nicholas II and the Tsarina Alexandra, made in the months before February 1917. Had Nicholas and Alexandra simply listened to the valid concerns of their subjects, rather than ignoring them in the mistaken belief that they were too trivial to warrant attention, all that happened after February 1917 might well have been averted. While resolve is a valuable quality in a leader, pigheadedness is not. Unless The King begins to listen to the concerns his Christian subjects have that he is promoting the interests of Islam over those of Christianity, he runs the risk of unnecessarily alienating the very people who are a cornerstone in the edifice of his Crown. I do appreciate that Easter addresses have not been a traditional part of the Monarch's remit, but since addresses relating to Ramadan and Eid have not been either, he might consider that the virtue of evenhandedness will prevent many of the problems that are arising when the Supreme Governor of the Church of England neglects to mark the most important day of his Church's calendar while having marked similarly significant dates in the Islamic calendar. And let's not forget Diwali. He managed to mark that too. All very noble and inclusive and a means of showing respect for others' faiths, but let's also not forget that charity starts at home, and before one endows others with one's largesse, it might be sensible to apportion an appropriate degree of attention closer to home. Otherwise one runs the risk of taking for granted those whom one should not be ignoring, and whom one might ignore at one's own peril.

Artemis II: Closing in on the MoonThe astronauts of Artemis II are now truly venturing into deep space — and the Moon is getting closer every hour.They have already traveled more than 200,000 miles (about 320,000 km) from Earth. With every passing moment, our home planet grows smaller in their windows, while the Moon looms larger ahead. Soon, the Moon’s gravitational pull — its “sphere of influence” — will begin to dominate, gently tugging the spacecraft into its embrace.Right now, the crew is fully immersed in the demanding routines of deep-space flight: Running critical checks on the life support systems that keep them alive Testing communications with Earth across vast distances Practicing manual flight maneuvers And carefully preparing for the dramatic lunar flyby that lies just ahead This is the moment Artemis II transitions from leaving Earth behind to preparing for humanity’s return to the Moon — not just orbiting it, but getting ready to push the boundaries of exploration once again.The journey is entering its most exciting phase.

Happy Easter🐇!!!

Many old women did not work when their children were young ..the first year over 50% of mothers were working was 1975, and most were part time. So, no company pensions, and not enough to save. You’ve no idea, have you..?

🚨 JUST IN: Artemis II pilot Victor Glover just gave this BEAUTIFUL Easter message "So far from Earth, looking at the BEAUTY of creation." “When I read the Bible and I look at all of the amazing things that were done for us...this amazing place." ❤️🙏🏻

I don’t know whose idea it was to do The Passion Of Jesus in London Trafalgar Square on Good Friday, but I’d like to shake their hand. Whether you’re religious or not, there are many demonstrations that go on there, but a demonstration of love is a lot nicer than the usual ones.

Tonight, we’re kicking off the Easter weekend by lighting up the London Eye in vibrant purple and yellow! 🌸💛 To everyone celebrating in London and beyond, we wish you a joyful and happy Easter! 🐣

Thanks Gael for sharing. “His Majesty, 77, invited football star Sir David, along with Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Ambassador Alan Titchmarsh and garden designer Frances Tophill to put the finishing touches to their very special Chelsea Flower Show ‘Curious Garden’ that they hope will celebrate and encourage the public’s curiosity in gardening and spending time in nature. Both dressed smartly with jackets, ties with folded pocket handkerchiefs, the two men - who have formed an unlikely friendship in recent years - looked delighted to be getting stuck in to the designs. The meeting took place last week in Gloucestershire and saw the group agree to install a beehive in the garden, inspired by both The King and Sir David’s enthusiasm for beekeeping and producing natural honey.” DM

Never forget why we celebrate Easter🙏❤️
