SUMMARY: During a total solar eclipse, the moon blocks out the sun due to its apparent size being the same as the sun in the sky. The moon’s shadow travels at high speeds across the United States, with many cities experiencing a few minutes of totality. Before totality, look for Bailey’s beads and the diamond ring effect as the corona of the sun becomes visible. As darkness falls and temperatures drop, the experience of seeing the corona is described as incredibly beautiful. Only a small percentage of people will witness a total solar eclipse in their lifetime, making it a rare and special event worth celebrating with an egg cream afterwards.

The April 8th total solar eclipse will occur in the U.S Exactly 6 years, 7 months and 18 days after the last total solar eclipse. Don’t get too used to this – the next one won’t happen until the year 2044! The Weather Channel Meteorologist, Mike Bettes shares fast facts about the upcoming eclipse.

SUMMARY: The Catholic Diocese of Jackson reflects on Pope Francis’ impactful legacy, highlighting his message of joy and simplicity. Mary Woodward, Chancellor of the Diocese, admired the dignity and simplicity of the Pope’s funeral, which exemplified his approach to life and leadership. Francis’ focus on marginalized communities and his efforts to build bridges rather than walls earned him respect across faiths, even among non-believers. His funeral was a significant moment, marked by images of the Pope at the Cathedral of Saint Peter in Jackson, with a red cloth symbolizing his connection to the Apostle Peter.

SUMMARY: Residents of West Jackson are frustrated by the long wait for street repairs. Mr. Johnson, a local, voiced his concerns over a growing pothole on Denver and Long Street, demanding full repairs instead of temporary patches. Despite some recent repair attempts, the hole persists due to ongoing water drainage issues from nearby apartments. City workers, including an employee named Isaac, explained that the water flow must be stopped before permanent fixes can occur. The area also suffers from illegal dumping, with tires being placed around the pothole as a makeshift barrier, further adding to residents’ frustrations.
