Just one year from now, a total solar eclipse will sweep across North America
FILE - The period of total coverage during the solar eclipse is seen near Hopkinsville, Ky. Monday, Aug. 21, 2017. The location, which is in the path of totality, is also at the point of greatest intensity. It’s only a year until a total solar eclipse sweeps across North America. On April 8, 2024, the moon will cast its shadow across a stretch of the U.S., Mexico and Canada, plunging millions of people into midday darkness.
All in all, it will hit parts of 13 U.S. states: Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. Cities in its path include Dallas; Little Rock, Arkansas; Indianapolis; Cleveland and Buffalo, New York. Total eclipses happen about every 18 months, but a lot of times they cross over remote areas where few people see them.Solar eclipses occur when the moon passes in between the Earth and the sun, blocking the sun’s light from reaching us.
“The stars are out. All of a sudden, all the animals are quiet,” recalled Brown, of Arlington, Virginia. Carbondale — in the crossroads of both the 2017 and 2024 eclipse paths — will hold a viewing event at the school's stadium again. It’s a big group experience, Baer said: “The last 20 minutes before totality, the stadium gets as loud as a football game.”
Brown and her husband are planning to join Duncan’s eclipse tour in Austin. Her first eclipse experience flew by.

North Korea warns 'offensive action' over allies' drillsNorth Korea has threatened unspecified “offensive action” over the expansion of U.S. military exercises with rival South Korea as President Joe Biden’s special representative for North Korea flew to Seoul for talks with allies over the North’s growing nuclear threat. The North Korean comments came a day after the United States flew nuclear-capable B-52 bombers to the Korean Peninsula for joint aerial exercises with South Korean warplanes in their latest show of force against the North, which portrays the allies’ drills as invasion rehearsals. Animosity heightened in recent weeks as the pace of both the U.S.-South Korean military exercises and the North Korean weapons demonstrations increased in a cycle of tit-for-tat.

SKorea, US, Japan call for support of ban on NKorea workersSouth Korea, the U.S. and Japan have called for stronger international support of efforts to ban North Korea from sending workers abroad and curb the North’s cybercrime. They say such steps are necessary to block the country’s means to fund its nuclear program. The top South Korean, U.S. and Japanese nuclear envoys met in Seoul on Friday to discuss how to cope with North Korea’s growing nuclear arsenal. The North’s recent weapons tests show it is intent on acquiring more advanced missiles designed to attack the U.S. and its allies, rather than returning to talks.
