Village People’s 1978 anthem with its perky disco backdrop replaced with angry shredding by Andy Rehfeldt for some reason.
A tree – a gift from French President Emmanuel Macron to US President Donald Trump at the White House in 2018 – has reportedly died
While we all thought it lovely to see
Trump and Macron plant a tree
In a week, at the most
The oak gave up the ghost
And died in the land of the free

After its spectacular opposition last November, Mars still shone brightly, offering a pleasing addition to shots of the night sky. To wit:
The celestial beacon easily attracted the attention of these two night skygazers who stood still for just a while, but long enough to be captured in the sea and night skyscape from Big Sur, planet Earth. Its central bulge near the southwestern horizon, the Milky Way runs through the scene too, while the long exposure also reveals a faint blue bioluminescence blooming in the waves along Pfeiffer Beach. Now much fainter, Mars can be spotted near the western horizon after sunset, but this month Jupiter is near its closest and brightest, reaching its own opposition on June 10. Night skygazers can spot brilliant Jupiter over southern horizons, glaring next to the stars toward the central Milky Way.
