@BillNye @NorahODonnell Nice to see that Bill Nye decided to crawl back out from his hiding place after the whole "Masks are the best at preventing covid" debacle...figures a roach would come out when it's dark.

More than 31 million Americans live in the so-called “Path of Totality,” where next week’s total solar eclipse will be in view — and plenty more Americans will travel to experience the rare event. Nancy Chen visited Rochester, New York to see how the city is preparing.

🚨#BREAKING: In just 24 hours, a rare once-in-a-lifetime Total solar eclipse event is set to approach the US, with millions set to witness this historic event 📌#UnitedStates | #USA In just 24 hours, on April 8th, millions will travel to experience and witness the historic event as a super rare once-in-a-lifetime solar eclipse approaches the United States. During this phenomenon, the moon entirely blocks out the sun, turning day into darkness for over 4 minutes. While almost everyone in the lower 48 states can witness a partial eclipse, the 115-mile-wide path of totality, where the moon completely obscures the sun, will only be visible in 15 states including parts of Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine, extending to Canada. Schools that fall within the path of totality are already closing on that day, and some states, like Texas, have declared a state of emergency due to the overwhelming traffic of people traveling to witness this once-in-a-lifetime event the next one won’t happen until Aug. 12, 2044

The Spanish Eclipse: A Masterclass in the Heavens and the Heart! I decided to follow the total eclipse over Spain and the partial eclipse in other European countries last night from Nigeria until early this morning. This is because I have had an interest in astronomy for over two decades. This eclipse offered a profound masterclass in celestial mechanics and orbital predictability. The maximum duration of totality in Spain during this event was 2 minutes and 18 seconds. The total solar eclipse was a historic celestial event, marking the first total solar eclipse visible from mainland Europe since 1999, around 27 years ago. It was also the first total eclipse to sweep across Spain since 1905, around 121 years ago. Other parts of Europe also experienced only a partial eclipse. From a scientific perspective, this rare event underscores the divine mathematical precision governing our solar system. The exact alignment of the Sun, Moon, and Earth allows researchers to study the solar corona, test gravitational theories, and gather critical data on atmospheric changes. It serves as a stark reminder that even the grandest cosmic phenomena operate under consistent, observable laws of physics that humanity can calculate decades in advance. Interestingly, this celestial alignment invites deep religious and spiritual contemplation across diverse faiths. In many theological traditions, the temporary blotting out of the sun represents a moment of awe, humility, and divine majesty, reminding humanity of its small place within creation. Furthermore, Islamic tradition features the special Khusuf prayer during solar eclipses to acknowledge Allah's signs. Other faiths likewise view the return of light as a powerful symbol of spiritual renewal and the triumph of truth over darkness. The event bridges the gap between the physical and the metaphysical, prompting us to look upward in reverence. Ultimately, the eclipse over Spain harmonises science and faith (iman) by highlighting a shared human quest for meaning and order. While science explains the mechanics of the shadow moving across the Iberian Peninsula, religion interprets the profound emotional and existential impact of that darkness. Together, these perspectives show that an eclipse is not merely an optical coincidence, but a unifying global moment. It challenges us to expand our knowledge of the universe while deepening our appreciation for the mysteries that lie beyond empirical measurement. Then which of the blessings of your Lord will you deny? Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami

Children's programs like Sesame Street and Bill Nye the Science Guy are vital, free educational programming accessible to every American child. They wouldn't be possible without the funding of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. But this is what the GOP is doing.
