Today In History (1961): On October 17, 1961, the Paris police massacred Algerian protesters who were demonstrating against a curfew imposed on them during the Algerian War. It remains one of the darkest and most tragic events in modern French history. We remember and reflect on the past.

Did you know that Victoria Falls is one of the very few places on Earth where you can regularly witness a lunar rainbow (or “moonbow”)? 🌈🌙
This incredible phenomenon occurs when the moonlight hits the spray from the massive waterfall on clear, full moon nights. It’s a truly spectacular, ethereal sight.
Add seeing a Victoria Falls moonbow to your bucket list!
