What an amazing view of Earth from Artemis II.

The Sun is behind the Earth, illuminating a thin crescent. This low-light shot, taken by Reid Wiseman using a Nikon D5, shows auroras over the poles, city lights, and the glow of the atmosphere.

And yes, there are stars!

@JohnnyPunkster77 Cool enjoy! Haven't been either but I imagine that's quite a destination for a spring photo trip. Maybe share some here on the Don.

@LDJ Thanks, yup, am interested to see what they have made out of Notre Dame after the fire. We also want to check out the flea market Saint Ouen. Sounds good, we are in the 9th Arrondissement close to Bourse. 2 star hotel, expensive nonetheless! :D Well its Paris...

Ok, going to Paris tomorrow. Haven't been in 15 years, so looking forward! I know you find every info online, but I like it old school, I enjoy carrying a book around, with maps and outdated restaurant tips!

Spain’s migrant regularization marks a rare progressive turn in Europe

Spain is about to undertake its largest-ever migrant regularization program, granting legal status and work permits to roughly 500,000 undocumented workers. Driven by grassroots campaigns and supported by the PSOE-Podemos coalition, the initiative challenges right-wing misinformation and offers a rare progressive model for integrating migrants in Europe.

Confessing: I have resubscribed to a trial week on effing Amazon Prime only because of "Young Sherlock". I know, I am a sinner...big Sherlock fan. Not proud of it, but enjoying the show nonetheless.

@Geri @TCatInReality I am not sure what you are referring to, the bit which is underlined? Looks like the reason is an embedded link. There are a couple more later on in the article.
