Widely acclaimed as one of the greatest duets of all time, this 1987 archival footage from Ibiza captures the iconic song "Barcelona." It stands as a vivid testament to the perfect fusion of Montserrat Caballรฉโs sublime operatic vocals and Freddie Mercuryโs captivating stage presenceโa masterpiece that left an indelible mark on music history and went on to become the official and defining anthem of the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona.
UNIFIL UPDATE: All Irish personnel are well and accounted for. Personnel of the 128th Infantry Battalion continue to employ force protection measures enabling them to observe and monitor the ongoing conflict in line with UNSCR 1701. รglaigh na hรireann remains resolute in its commitment to UNIFIL.
The Defence Forces wishes to extend its sympathies to the family and friends of the peacekeeper who lost his life and our thoughts are with his colleagues who are recovering at this time.
Look up . The sky is putting on a show you won't see again until 2028.
A rare Blue Moon is rising on May 30, peaking in the early hours of May 31 at 8:45 UTC.
It's the second full moon of May, and the first time two full moons have shared a single calendar month since August 2023.
But the moon isn't doing this alone.
Venus and Jupiter are lining up low in the western sky just after sunset. Mars and Saturn are climbing in the east before dawn. Mercury joins the western evening lineup too.
Four planets. One Blue Moon. One sky.
Here's the kicker โ this isn't just any full moon. It's the smallest full moon of the entire year, sitting roughly 252,360 miles away at its farthest point from Earth.
A micromoon. A Blue Moon. A planet parade. All at once.
The moon will glow right next to Antares, the red heart of Scorpius, on May 30. For the best view of the planetary lineup, step outside 30 to 45 minutes after sunset and look west. Set an alarm before dawn if you want to catch Mars and Saturn rising in the east.
And no, despite the name, the moon won't actually look blue. The name comes from the calendar quirk, not the color.
The next one like this won't happen until December 2028.
Don't blink.
