How a lunar 'standstill' is shining new light on Stonehenge
Experts say some of structure’s stones may have been set to mark an event that only happens every 18.6 years.
This weekend, archaeologists, astronomers and archaeoastronomers (who study how prehistoric people responded to the sky) arrived at the time of the full moon to explore the theory that the Stonehenge creators may have set up some stones to mark the lunar standstill, when moonrise and moonset are farthest apart along the horizon.
Archaeologists and astronomers use a total station to track a lunar event at Stonehenge in studying the Wiltshire site’s lesser understood connection to the moon (21 June 2024).

Italy's picturesque villages struggle to cope with deluge of Insta-visitors
The five villages of the Cinque Terre are determined to ensure the once sleepy area is not overwhelmed by mass tourism.
There was a time when Manarola's year-round population, which has dwindled over the years to about 350, could take a peaceful afternoon nap.
From Venice and Dubrovnik to Bali and Alaska, managing mass tourism is a dilemma facing many popular global destinations. In Italy, 2023 was a record year, with foreigners making up the vast majority of visitors for the first time since before the coronavirus pandemic.

Michael Weeks and his huge tractor remove tissues, cigarette butts, cans and other rubbish from Bondi, Bronte and Tamarama at night.

Weeks, 51, who is charged with mechanically raking Bondi, Bronte and Tamarama beaches, ridding their sand of rubbish and dirt. He waits until the beach is almost empty before driving Waverley council’s three-tonne John Deere 6110M tractor on to the sand and lowering its attached 1,200-pronged rake.
6 am at Bondi Beach and there is a hive of activity already with people exercising, 19 December 2023.

Sycamore Gap tree removed from Hadrian's Wall to be seasoned and reused
As National Trust draws line under criminal act, members of public suggest future uses for timber.
Some saw the day as a chance to say farewell. One person described the event as a "full stop" to the saga. But as the criminally felled, world-famous Sycamore Gap tree was carefully removed from its home on Hadrian's Wall, people also spoke of hope, optimism and rebirth.
A crane from Manchester arrived on Thursday morning for the challenging job of removing the tree.
Throughout Thursday, a team worked with chainsaws to cut the tree into manageable sections that could be transported to a truck.
The Sycamore Gap tree was regarded by many as an integral part of north-east England. Its felling two weeks ago prompted an outpouring of distress, mixed with fury at the pointlessness of the vandalism.
A crane hoists cut sections of tree over Hadrian's Wall as the National Trust begin the process of removing the felled Sycamore Gap tree begins the first stage of removal from Hadrian's Wall at Sycamore Gap in Northumberland. It is to be removed and moved to a secret location.
