Orion and the Ocean of Storms
A camera on board the uncrewed Orion spacecraft captured this view on December 5 as Orion approached its return powered flyby of the Moon. Below one of Orion's extended solar arrays lies dark, smooth, terrain along the western edge of the Oceanus Procellarum. Prominent on the lunar nearside Oceanus Procellarum, the Ocean of Storms, is the largest of the Moon's lava-flooded maria. The lunar terminator, shadow line between lunar night and day, runs along the left of the frame. The 41 kilometer diameter crater Marius is top center, with ray crater Kepler peeking in at the edge, just right of the solar array wing. Kepler's bright rays extend to the north and west, reaching the dark-floored Marius. Of course the Orion spacecraft is now headed toward a December 11 splashdown in planet Earth's water-flooded Pacific Ocean.

Peru: Police arrest president after Congress votes to remove him from power
Police in Peru have arrested the country's president, Pedro Castillo, after Congress voted to remove him from power.
In a tweet that has since been deleted, the National Police of Peru said officers had "intervened".
A photograph showed a man in a blue jacket sitting on a sofa - apparently Mr Castillo - but his eyes had been blacked out.
The tweet described him as "former president Pedro Castillo".
Congress voted to remove Mr Castillo and replace him with Vice President Dina Boluarte after he tried to dissolve the legislature, the AP news agency reported.
Ms Boluarte, a 60-year-old lawyer, has since been sworn in as interim president. She becomes Peru's first female leader.
Representatives voted 101-6, with 10 abstentions, to remove Mr Castillo from office for reasons of "permanent moral incapacity".
Shortly before the ballot, Mr Castillo said he was installing a new emergency government and called for the next group of representatives to develop a new constitution.
During a televised address, he said he would rule by decree and ordered a nightly curfew starting on Wednesday night.
He also mooted changes in the leadership of the judiciary, police and constitutional court.
In response, the head of Peru's army resigned, along with four ministers, including those responsible for foreign affairs and the economy.
Mr Castillo took his actions as his opponents in Congress moved towards a third attempt to remove him from office.
The Ombudsman's Office, an independent government institution, said prior to the congressional vote that Mr Castillo should resign and present himself to judicial authorities.
Mr Castillo, a peasant-turned-president, has denied allegations of corruption against him, saying they are based on "hearsay statements by people who, seeking to lighten their own punishments for supposed crimes by abusing my confidence, are trying to involve me without evidence".
Federal prosecutors are investigating six cases against him, most of them for alleged corruption.

Dean of Students Brags About Bringing in LGBTQ Health Center to Teach "Queer Sex" to Minors
Elite Chicago Private School’s Dean of Students Brags About Bringing in LGBTQ Health Center to Teach ‘Queer Sex’ to Minors … ‘That’s a Really Cool Part of My Job’ … ‘Passing Around Dildos and Butt Plugs’ … ‘Using Lube Versus Using Spit’
• Joseph Bruno, Dean of Students, Francis W. Parker School: “So, I’ve been the Dean for four years. During Pride we do a Pride Week every year I had our LGBTQ Health Center come in [to the classroom]. They were passing around butt-plugs and dildos to my students – talking about queer sex, using lube versus using spit.”
• Bruno: “They're just, like, passing around dildos and butt-plugs. The kids are just playing with ‘em, looking at ‘em…They're like, ‘How does this butt-plug work? How do we do – like, how does this work?’ That's a really cool part of my job.”
• Bruno: “We had a Drag Queen come in – pass out cookies and brownies and do photos.”
[CHICAGO – Dec. 7, 2022] Project Veritas released a new video today exposing a high-ranking private school official, Joseph Bruno, who admitted that he teaches underage children about sex with items such as “butt-plugs” and “dildos.”
Bruno, who works as the Dean of Students at an elite school in Chicago called Francis W. Parker, said that these were the items brought into the classroom by an LGBTQ group.
“So, I’ve been the Dean for four years. During Pride we do a Pride Week every year I had our LGBTQ Health Center come in [to the classroom]. They were passing around butt-plugs and dildos to my students – talking about queer sex, using lube versus using spit,” Bruno said.
The school administrator claimed that this educational practice is one of the reasons he enjoys his current employment.
“The kids are just playing with ‘em, looking at ‘em [butt-plugs and dildos] … They're like, ‘How does this butt-plug work? How do we do – like, how does this work?’ That's a really cool part of my job,” he said.
Bruno also said he has invited a Drag Queen to the school.
“We had a Drag Queen come in – pass out cookies and brownies and do photos.”
