This roe deer/rådjur is very pregnant, and if you look at her belly, you can clearly see her babies kicking! She is most likely expecting two fawns, one male and one female. Värmland, Sweden (April 27, 2024).
This photograph, called “Earthrise,” was captured on Christmas Eve 1968 by astronaut Willam Anders aboard Apollo 8. It was the first time we had ever seen our planet like this, rising over the lunar landscape, and is believed to have been a catalyst for the first Earth Day in 1970. Earthrise helped spark a realization that we are moving through the infinite blackness of space, all together. It has inspired movements and momentum that help us work together to build a better future. Happy Earth Day.

Atlas moth. After their metamorphosis, the adult moths have no functional mouthparts - they search for a mate, lay their eggs, and die within around two weeks.
