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.

This is wild.
SpaceX and NASA are launching a rocket tomorrow to practice planetary defense in case we need to defend Earth from asteroids in the future.
A spacecraft will travel for 10 months & hit an asteroid at 15,000 mph to see how the rock's trajectory changes.
Insane.

The absolute, bar none, stupidest thing in tv news is making someone stand in a hurricane to camera.
It’s not informative, it’s not helping anyone. At best it’s disaster theatre, at worst it’s putting a crew in danger to… what? Show us it’s really raining?
