There was aviation magic in the skies over Foynes and huge throngs on the ground as an estimated 20,000 were on to witness two days of daredevil aerobatics display to mark the 75th anniversary of the first transatlantic commercial flight. The busiest weekend ever for Foynes was a fitting tribute to the milestone anniversary of the famous flight that saw the Pan American Airways Yankee Clipper land at first Shannon Airpor, the then seaplane port in the West Limerick town – in July 1939.

Embargoed to July 8, 2014 Undated University of Utah handout image of a map of the northern sky showing the “hot spot” where scientists detected an unusual concentration of high energy cosmic rays. A mysterious “hot spot” in the sky is emitting unusual numbers of powerful cosmic rays, say scientists. The discovery may shed new light on the origin of ultra-high energy cosmic rays, which still cannot be fully explained. The hot spot is centred two hand-widths below the “handle” of the Big Dipper, or Plough, an arrangement of seven stars within the Great Bear constellation.
