Night Skies Darken as Total Solar Eclipse Sweeps Across North America

-

Stargazers and science enthusiasts across North America were treated to a rare celestial spectacle today, April 8th, as a total solar eclipse cast its shadow over parts of Mexico, the United States, and Canada. This type of eclipse, where the moon completely covers the sun, only occurs when the sun, moon, and Earth align perfectly.

The path of totality, the narrow region where viewers experience complete darkness during the peak of the eclipse, stretched across North America. Within this path, the sky darkened significantly, resembling dusk or dawn. The sun's corona, the faint outer atmosphere usually hidden by the sun's brightness, became visible for a brief period.

Those outside the path of totality witnessed a partial eclipse, where the moon obscured only a portion of the sun. For safe viewing of any phase of the eclipse, specially designed solar eclipse glasses were required.

This total solar eclipse is a reminder of the awe-inspiring power and delicate dance between celestial bodies in our solar system. While this particular eclipse wasn't visible from India, such events offer a unique opportunity to witness the wonders of the universe firsthand.

He also referenced the Supreme Court's decision to grant bail to Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Manish Sisodia, who is a co-accused in the same cases. However, Additional Solicitor General S V Raju, representing the probe agencies, accused Kavitha of tampering with evidence by formatting her mobile phone. Kavitha’s legal team dismissed this allegation as unfounded. The Supreme Court questioned the material evidence against Kavitha, emphasizing that she had already spent five months in custody and that her continued detention was unwarranted. The bench noted that the likelihood of the trial concluding in the near future was slim, and reiterated the principle that undertrial custody should not amo...
