Giant Trump–Epstein Banner Unfurled Outside Windsor Castle Ahead of State Visit

  A giant photo of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein is unfurled outside Windsor Castle ahead of the president's state visit to the U.K. A colossal photograph of U.S. President Donald Trump alongside convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has been dramatically displayed on the lawn outside Windsor Castle, just hours before Trump’s arrival for his second state visit to the United Kingdom. The stunt was orchestrated by British protest group Everyone Hates Elon , which claims the 400-square-metre image — touted as the “world’s biggest Epstein photo” — was crowdfunded by donations from the public. The group said the banner was intended to ensure Trump could not “avoid the Epstein story” during his visit. The King is set to host Trump and First Lady Melania Trump at Windsor Castle for a ceremonial welcome and state banquet, with heightened security measures and protests expected throughout the week.

Look Up Tuesday Night for the Full Pink Moon

 

The Pink Moon is set to grace the night sky this week, and it’s a celestial event worth observing. On Tuesday night, precisely at 7:49 p.m. EDT, the Moon will be in its full phase, marking April’s Full Moon. However, according to NASA, observers will notice that the Moon appears full for approximately three days, from Monday morning through Thursday morning.

Why Is It Called the Pink Moon?

Contrary to what the name suggests, the Pink Moon isn’t named for the Moon’s color. Instead, it derives its name from wild ground phlox, also known as pink moss. This early-blooming wildflower is one of the first to grace the landscape in the US Northeast during spring. The Old Farmer’s Almanac, which has been recording lunar names for close to a century, associated this April Full Moon with the pink blossoms of ground phlox.

Gibbous Phase and Observing Tips

While the Moon will appear full for several days, keen observers can still notice subtle differences. On Monday night and Wednesday night, focus on the Moon’s face a bit longer. You might observe that one side looks “fuzzy” compared to the crisp edge on the other side. This reveals that the Moon is actually in its Gibbous phase during those times. If you have binoculars or a telescope, it’ll be even easier to spot this phenomenon1.

So, mark your calendars and take a moment to appreciate the Pink Moon’s beauty as it graces our night sky this week!
