MAP: Where, when and how to get the best view of the 2023 annular eclipse

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 12:19:23 GMT

(NEXSTAR) – A solar eclipse will be visible from numerous U.S. states on Saturday, Oct. 14, a day highly anticipated by self-described "eclipse chasers" who have called the events life-changing, equating the sight to "looking upon the eye of God."October's eclipse is annular, meaning that the moon will be between the Earth and sun, but at or near its farthest distance from the Earth. That means the sun will create a bright ring effect around the moon. Eclipse chasers avoid Texas, plan to travel south for total solar eclipse A solar eclipse occurs when the moon blocks the light of the sun, darkening the sky for people on Earth who are in the shadow's path (Credits: NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center)You may not be an eclipse chaser, but if you're still curious how close you are to the "path of annularity," the less-than-150-mile-wide track from which the "ring of fire" will be visible in October, take a look at the map below.If you're outside of that relatively narrow stripe, you ...

McCarthy's out. So, what happens next?

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 12:19:23 GMT

WASHINGTON (NewsNation) — Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif, became the first House speaker in U.S. history ousted from the position; but now, the biggest question is what happens next.Without an elected House speaker, Congress will not be able to hold votes, and bills cannot be brought to the floor. This means nothing can be done with border security, Ukraine funding or government spending until an election is held. However, committees can still meet and congressional hearings can continue. Following the vote, McCarthy announced he would not be running for speaker again. Now, no clear leader has emerged for House Republicans in the wake of this. Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., motioned to remove McCarthy on Monday after the House passed a short-term government spending bill this past weekend with Democrat support and without deep spending cuts or Republican provisions for border security.On Tuesday, all Democrats and eight Republicans voted to remove McCarthy as speaker. Gaetz even continued t...

Mr. Touchdown: San Jose State Spartans’ Robinson has a nose for the end zone

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 12:19:23 GMT

SAN JOSE — Kairee Robinson only needed one good leg to make Alonzo Carter a believer.Sitting next to NFL All-Pro running back Maurice Jones-Drew and legendary De La Salle head coach Bob Ladouceur in the Owen Owens Field stands, Carter watched Robinson, then a Spartans senior, rush for over 100 yards on a broken ankle. Carter, San Jose State’s running backs coach, knew he had to offer the five-foot-seven, 190-pound running back a scholarship. He did just that a week later.“Just to see him out there leading his team even though he was injured, was amazing to see,” Carter recalled of his first impression of Robinson. “He gives you all he got. He has the warrior mentality and leaves it all on the field.”Fast forward five years, and Robinson is on track to have his best season as a San Jose State Spartan and is quickly moving up the SJSU record book.San Jose State’s Kairee Robinson (32) runs for 44-yards against Hawaii’s Meki Pei (28), in the fourth quarter Saturday, No...
