Capricorn Full Moon

This mind-blowing shot shows Rio de Janeiro's Christ the Redeemer statue cradling a massive full moon in its hands like a divine blessing! 📸🙏

Brazilian photographer Leonardo Sens captured it from 7 miles away on Icaraí Beach using a 600mm lens after 3 years of tracking lunar alignments for that perfect perspective compression and optical illusion of heavenly scale.

Taken June 4 2023 at the ideal moment. Absolute perfection!

The first ever recorded sighting of a rare orange-colored snowy owl in Michigan 🦉❄️🌕

This extraordinary bird was photographed flying directly in front of the full moon, creating a scene that feels almost unreal. Snowy owls are already rare to see in the wild, but one with this unique orange plumage has never been documented here before. A historic moment for birdwatchers and wildlife enthusiasts alike.

I know so many of you have been wondering where I’ve been.  Please know I’ve read your comments, prayers and words of support and kindness. It meant the world to me.

Goodbyes are hard. But they are necessary before you can meet again…

Love,

May is closing with one of the most captivating celestial events visible to the naked eye. On the night of May 30–31, the second full moon of the month will rise, creating what is known as a Blue Moon.

This will be the first Blue Moon since August 2023, with the next not occurring until December 2028. But this year’s event is especially memorable because it coincides with a beautiful alignment of planets.

As the Blue Moon shines, all four of the brightest planets visible from Earth, Venus, Jupiter, Mars, and Saturn, will also be on display. Before sunrise on May 31, Mars and Saturn will glow low in the eastern sky. After sunset, Venus and Jupiter will shine brightly in the western sky, with the full moon dominating the night.

Despite the name, a Blue Moon is not actually blue in color. The term simply describes the second full moon within a single calendar month. Because the lunar cycle is approximately 29.5 days, two full moons rarely fit inside the same month. On average, a Blue Moon occurs only once every 2.5 years.

The planetary “lineup” is an impressive sight created by perspective. While the planets are separated by hundreds of millions of miles in space, from our viewpoint on Earth they appear to line up across the sky alongside the brilliant Blue Moon.

A perfect opportunity to look up this weekend and enjoy one of nature’s rarest sky shows.

Happy Birthday, Mr. Secretary.

[The Culturist @the_culturist_]

The annual Pentecost tradition (today!) at Rome's Pantheon is a moment of extraordinary beauty.

It occurs every year on the seventh Sunday after Easter. At noon, after the Holy Mass, thousands of rose petals are dropped through the oculus of the mighty dome.

As the petals fall, a choir sings "Veni Sancte Spiritus," known as the Golden Sequence, a masterpiece of sacred Latin poetry.

This is to celebrate the descent of the Holy Spirit on the Virgin Mary and the Apostles.

The rose petal ritual likely dates back to 607 AD when the pagan temple became a Christian church.

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

From our country’s beginning, for as long as America has embodied freedom and exceptionalism, the soul of our nation has been rooted in the Christian faith.

Today we gather, as our forefathers did on this day centuries ago, to rededicate our nation to God.
