Orion Rising : Looking toward the east in the early hours of a September morning this single exposure made with tripod and camera captured a simple visual experience. Rising above the tree-lined slope are familiar stars in planet Earth’s northern night and the constellation Orion the Hunter. Brighter stars marking the celestial Hunter’s shoulder (Betelgeuse), foot (Rigel), belt, and sword are clearly reflected in the calm waters from northern Latvia’s Vitrupe river. Of course, winter is coming to planet Earth’s northern hemisphere. By then Orion and this beautiful starry vista will be seen rising in early evening skies. via NASA

Brussels, 1942 — under the suffocating grip of Nazi occupation, a young schoolteacher named Andrée Geulen made a choice that would ripple through history. When she saw some of her students forced to wear yellow stars, branded not as children but as targets, her heart broke. The very next day, she quietly ordered every child in her class — Jewish and non-Jewish alike — to wear identical aprons, erasing the Nazi-imposed divisions and making them simply children again. That small act of rebellion was only the beginning. Andrée joined the resistance, working with the Comité de Défense des Juifs to hide Jewish children in safe homes. It was a mission that demanded impossible courage, persuading terrified parents to send their children into hiding alone, knowing many might never reunite. She sheltered a dozen children right in her own school, teaching and smiling as though life were normal. Then, in May 1943, the Gestapo raided the school. Soldiers tore through the building, dragged children from their beds, and interrogated Andrée. When a Nazi officer sneered, “Aren’t you ashamed of teaching Jewish children?” she fired back without hesitation, “And you? Aren’t you ashamed of making war on them?” Andrée Geulen went on to save over a thousand children, never seeking praise or medals, just choosing, every day, to stand on the side of humanity. She lived to be 100, her life defined by breathtaking defiance, fierce compassion, and an apron that quietly stood against an empire of terror.
