A crescent Earth sets behind the Moon.

On April 6, 2026, the Artemis II astronauts flew around the Moon, observing the far side – which we never see on Earth thanks to tidal locking – with their own eyes and with cameras.

Puilaurens Castle 🏰, France 🇫🇷

Puilaurens Castle is located in Lapradelle-Puilaurens, Aude, Occitanie, France, perched on a rocky hilltop at 697 meters above sea level. This 13th-century fortress has a rich history, initially built to defend the border with the Kingdom of Aragon. It played a crucial role during the Cathar Crusades, serving as a refuge for persecuted Cathars, including high nobles like Guillaume de Peyrepertuse.

The castle changed hands multiple times, eventually falling under French control in the 13th century. It was reinforced by Louis IX and Philip III to protect against Aragonese attacks. Puilaurens Castle is one of the "Five Sons of Carcassonne," a series of royal fortresses defending the French Kingdom's borders.
