Unveiling the Significance of April's Total Solar Eclipse in the US
The Ultimate Guide to Witnessing April's Historic Total Solar Eclipse in the US
Overshadow Across America," will air live Monday, April 8, starting at 2 p.m. ET on ABC, ABC News Live, Public Geographic Station, Nat Geo WILD, Disney+ and Hulu as well as organization web-based entertainment stages.
At the point when the moon crosses before the sun on April 8, portions of North America will be dove into dimness, denoting an intriguing divine peculiarity that won't return for quite a long time.
An all out sun powered overshadow happens when the moon passes between the sun and the Earth and, for a brief time frame, totally obstructs the substance of the sun, as indicated by NASA.
"At the point when the sun's circle is totally covered by the moon, light out of nowhere changes from brilliant daylight to an exceptionally shocking nightfall in no time flat," Fred Espenak, a previous astrophysicist from NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and creator of "Street Map book for the All out Sun based Shroud of 2024," told ABC News.
t becomes sufficiently dull to choose splendid stars and planets, so it's extremely emotional, exceptionally alarming," Espenak said. "The vast majority get an exceptionally instinctive response to seeing a complete shroud."
The last complete sun based overshadow in America was in August 2017, yet the seven-year distinction between shrouds is "tricky," as per Espenak.
"Assuming you look past to 2017, the last one was in 1979," Espenak said. "So it's somewhat tricky that these two shrouds were in seven years of one another."
Nearly, 2024's all out sun oriented obscure is "better" than 2017's, on the grounds that the way of entirety is practically 60% more extensive and the length of the obscuration is around 60% longer, as per Espenak, who made sense of certain areas inside the way will insight up to four and a half minutes of the overshadowing.
The track of the moon's shadow across Earth's surface is known as the way of entirety, and to observe the April 8 absolute sun based overshadow, watchers should be inside the 115 vast way.
In the U.S., the way of entirety starts in Texas and will go through Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. Little pieces of Tennessee and Michigan will likewise encounter the complete sun based overshadow, as per NASA.
Because of the reality April's absolute sunlight based obscuration will be the remnant of a dying breed to happen in North America for a considerable length of time, being the U.s'. biggest mass travel occasion in 2024, Michael Zeiler, master sun powered overshadow map maker, told ABC News is anticipated.
Zeiler contrasted overshadow day travel with "50 concurrent Super Dishes the country over," saying 4,000,000 individuals are assessed to make a trip to see it.
"At the point when you take a gander at the quantity of individuals expected to come to the way of entirety for the sun oriented overshadow, we gauge those numbers are generally what could be compared to 50 synchronous Super Dishes the country over, from Texas to Maine," he said.
Fully expecting the memorable obscuration, a little district in Texas is preparing for a highly sensitive situation because of the sheer volume of anticipated travelers
In February, Ringer District Judge David Blackburn gave a nearby fiasco statement, saying the region's populace of 400,000 occupants is supposed to twofold in tourists.Zeiler said Texas is an excellent spot for obscure chasers to travel since it is situated in the way of entirety and has the best opportunities for clear skies on overshadow day.
"You need to be in the focal point of the way for the longest term," Zeiler made sense of. "Assuming that you have a companion or relative in the way in Texas, and there are 12 million Texans inside the way, that is the spot to go in light of the fact that that is where the best weather conditions possibilities are."From the obscuration's long term extraordinariness to its stunning length and way, April 8 brings a thrilling open door that Espenak says skywatchers shouldn't miss.
"I figure seeing a complete overshadowing ought to be on everyone's list of must-dos, and this April is only an amazing chance," Espenak said. "A mind blowing occasion individuals will recollect for their whole lives. They'll be telling their grandkids about the complete obscuration they found in April of 2024 assuming that they figured out how to get into the way of entirety and have some great climate."
"So I wish everyone fair skies next April," Espenak added.

Unveiling the Hidden Challenges of High Intelligence
If ignorance brings happiness, does high intelligence lead to despair? Common belief suggests so. Prodigies are often seen as plagued by existential angst, dissatisfaction, and depression. Think of Virginia Woolf, Alan Turing, or Lisa Simpson - lone stars, constrained even as they shine brightest. As Ernest Hemingway put it: "Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know." The question may seem trivial to some, but the insights it offers could impact many. Much of our educational system focuses on improving academic intelligence; although its limits are well-known, intelligence level remains the primary measure of mental abilities, and we invest millions in brain training and mental enhancers aimed at boosting those scores. But what if the pursuit of genius is futile in itself? The groundwork for answering these questions was laid nearly 100 years ago, during the American Jazz Age. At that time, the modern intelligence test was gaining traction, having showcased its skills in the Second World War recruitment centers. In 1926, psychologist Lewis Terman decided to use it to identify and study a group of gifted children. Scouring California's schools for the best, he selected 1,500 students with an intelligence level of 140 or higher - 80 of whom had intelligence levels exceeding 170. Together, they were known as the "Termites," and the ups and downs of their lives are still being scrutinized today. The Termites' average income was twice that of the typical middle-class job. As expected, many of the Termites achieved wealth and fame - most notably Jess Oppenheimer, the writer of the classic 1950s sitcom I Love Lucy. When his show aired on CBS, the Termites collectively earned twice the typical middle-class income. However, not all members lived up to Terman's expectations - some pursued more "humble" professions such as police officers, sailors, and typists. Hence, Terman concluded that "intelligence and achievement are not perfectly correlated." Their intelligence did not ensure personal fulfillment either. Throughout their lives, rates of divorce, alcoholism, and suicide were similar to the national average. As the Termites approach old age, the moral of their story - that intelligence does not guarantee a better life - has been reiterated time and again. At best, a great mind makes no difference to your life satisfaction; at worst, it can actually result in less fulfillment. This is not to say that every highly intelligent person is a tormented genius, as popular culture might suggest - but it is nonetheless puzzling. Why don't the benefits of sharper intelligence pay off in the long run? A significant burden One possibility is that awareness of your gifts becomes somewhat of a perpetual burden. In the 1990s, the surviving Termites were asked to reflect on the events in their 80-year lifespan. Instead of reveling in their successes, many reported being haunted by the feeling that they had somehow failed to meet their youthful expectations. That sense of pressure - especially when coupled with others' expectations - is a recurring theme for many other gifted children. The most prominent, and tragic, case concerns the math prodigy Sufiah Yusof. Admitted to Oxford University at age 12, she dropped out of her course before taking her finals and began working as a waitress. She later worked as a call girl. Another common complaint, often heard in student bars and online forums, is that smarter individuals somehow have a clearer view of the world's shortcomings. While most of us are shielded from existential dread, intelligent people lie awake grappling with the human condition or others' foolishness. Persistent worrying may indeed be a sign of intelligence - but not in the way these armchair philosophers had imagined. Conversing with students on campus about various topics, Alexander Penney at MacEwan University in Canada found that those with higher intelligence levels did indeed experience more anxiety throughout the day. Interestingly, most concerns were mundane, everyday worries, but the high-intelligence level students were more likely to replay an awkward conversation than ponder the "big questions." "It's not that their concerns were more important, but they are simply agonizing more frequently about additional things," says Penney. "If something negative happened, they thought about it more." Delving deeper, Penney observed that this seemed to be related to verbal intelligence - the type measured by word games in intelligence tests, compared to proficiency in spatial puzzles (which actually appeared to reduce the risk of anxiety). He speculates that greater verbal expression could also make you more likely to voice concerns and ruminate over them. Nevertheless, it's not necessarily a drawback. "Maybe they were problem-solving a bit more than most people," he says - which could help them learn from their mistakes. Mental blind spots The harsh reality, however, is that greater intelligence does not necessarily equate to a happier or more fulfilling life.

OPINION | Little big polluters
In the Pacific Ocean, plastic wastes converge in patches over a large area encompassing the majority of the ocean’s area. Known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP), this area covers roughly 1.6 million square kilometers and is estimated to contain around 1.8 trillion pieces of plastic. With the Philippines being a top contributor in the plastic pollution worldwide, this is one area in the global efforts against the climate emergency the country can make an actual, felt change happen.
