May the Fourth be with you!
Star Wars Day
Lightsabers gleam and droids beep; let's all geek! During this galactic holiday, fans around the world unite to revel in everything Star Wars—from watching these saga films to dressing up as their favourite characters. Today's image flashes out a filming location from the 'Star Wars' sequel trilogy, the island of Skellig Michael, off the coast of southwestern Ireland. This UNESCO World Heritage landmark houses a preserved monastery from the 6th century, founded by early monks. The site's beehive huts and stone staircases were showcased as the backdrop of a cloistered island on planet Ahch-To, where Jedi Master Luke Skywalker sought refuge in 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens.' Skellig Michael's abundant seabird population, including puffins, inspired the creation of the penguin-like porgs that roost on Ahch-To. So, grab your Wookiee co-pilot, hop in your starship and may the force be strong as you journey through this galactic Earth location not so far away!
