Astronomy Themed Town of Pingtang - China

A tourist visits an experience planetarium in Kedu Town of Pingtang County, southwest China's Guizhou Province, February 18, 2025. In 2007, Pingtang County launched a relocation program that involved 6,653 rural residents from Kedu and Tangbian townships. The program was implemented in order to prepare for the construction of the FAST (Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope), also known as the "China Sky Eye." Located in a naturally deep and round karst depression in Guizhou, FAST was completed in 2016 and started formal operations in 2020. Kedu Township started a plan to transform itself into an astronomy-themed town from September 2015, taking advantage of its proximity to the FAST. Many relocated rural residents have found jobs or started their own businesses in the town. Today's Kedu Town is full of sense of science, technology and future with landmarks such as experience planetarium, time tower, interstellar community, astronomical time village and others. Since the launch of the "China Sk

Pope Francis Leads The Mass At Casone - Ajaccio

Pope Francis presides over a mass at Place d'Austerlitz (U Casone) in Ajaccio, as part of his trip on the French island of Corsica, on December 15, 2024. Pope Francis visits Corsica, a stronghold of the Catholic faith with locals hotly anticipating the first-ever trip by a pontiff to the French Mediterranean island. His short trip, based around a congress on faith in the Mediterranean region, comes just a week after he snubbed the re-opening of Notre Dame cathedral in Paris five years after a devastating fire.
