On April 8, 2024 there will be a solar eclipse. Some parts of the US will be in the path of totality and will see a total eclipse and other places, such as Virginia, will see a partial eclipse. Protecting your eyes is a must for viewing the partial and total eclipse. Justin Bartel, Assistant Director of Education, Astronomy Programs at the Science Museum of Virginia explains why solar eclipses happen and emphasizes the important need for proper eye protection for yourself and your equipment.

DIY: Changing Solids to Liquids

When thinking about states of matter, water is an easy example. In its liquid form, it flows easily out of a glass. In its solid form, it makes the ice that keeps our drinks nice and cool. As a gas, it’s the steam we see rising from a pot on the stove. But you don’t have to wait for the freezer or stove to see this transformation.

    The EU banned titanium dioxide because it causes cancer, it’s used in about 2000 products sold in USA. Our food is poisoned from the ground and water and has been depleted through GMO and this commercial is to bs us into thinking the FDA is actually doing their job-they most certainly are not. They classify nanotechnology in foods as GRAS Generally Regarded As Safe as long as the same ingredient in non nano form is used already. Require no testing reports provided to them. It’s an honor system and big food corps are so honest as we know.

    You need to know that it is just a shadow of the moon over the sun for a few minutes, it has no effect on the earth as we have an eclipse of the moon every month. And the sun eclipse is no difference.

  • @Dr.KavinduTharangakarunarathna

    Do you know why the Total Solar Eclipse 8 April 2024 is more exciting that is because NASA caught red handed. NASA is misleading the community by telling lies about the Total Solar Eclipse….! It has been totally described in Buddhist teachings how a Total Solar Eclipse phenomena is happening. Sun is very small comparing to the earth Sun’s diameter is 50 miles and it’s has approximately 650 miles circumference. And the Moon has a 49 miles diameter and approximately 250 miles circumference. When the Sun is covered totally by the Moon however Sun can’t be totally covered by the Moon because of the 1 mile difference between the diameters of each other. Ring of fire phenomena is occurred due to this Universal truth which is taught by the Lord Buddha. Finally, the most important things should be mentioned here, They as follows, 1.Sun is traveling very fast when it is in its straight ecliptic path and the Moon is comparatively slow when it is in its ecliptic straight path. 2.Sun is traveling very slow when it is taking the turn in its ecliptic path and the Moon is traveling very fast comparatively when it is taking the turn in its ecliptic path. 3.The Sun travels a figure of eight ecliptic path called Solar Analemma throughout a year and the Moon travels also a figure eight ecliptic path throughout a year called Moon Analemma. 4.Sun and Moon traveling up above 42,000 miles from the earth. 5. Sun and Moon always maintaining approximately 100 miles distances between each other when they are in their respective ecliptic path throughout a year, however this universal truth is coming to practical due to the phenomenon of that A Total Solar Eclipse can only be seen in a strip of approximately 100 miles. That’s why a Total Solar Eclipse is can’t be seen by people of all over the world It’s because of earth is very big comparatively to the Sun and Moon as I mentioned top of this comment.

    This is weird. I see that Plugless still has a web site ( pluglesspower.com ) and the copyright holder is the EVATRAN GROUP as of 2019. However, the latest update on the blog is back in June of 2017. They have many models for sale on their products page. This seems like a smart idea, however, the inductive coils seem to be too far apart to be practical. I seen induction technology before in other products and every time to coils where cm apart. Another thing would be, once the battery is fully charged how dose the charging unit turn off. If it overcharges the battery, the battery could stop working. The nocord.com idea is still a alpha prototype. It seems to be hazardous to small children and pets. It looks like you have an electric main hanging from your garage ceiling.
