Re: Spaceships and astronomy
A 1m meteor discovered on Sunday evening entered the atmosphere in the early hours of Monday morning, crashing into earth near Rouen in NE France.
It is just the 7th meteor discovered before it hit earth, but the second discovered by amateur Hungarian astronomer, Krisztián Sárneczky, who also found one in March of 2022, two hours before it splashed into the North Atlantic just north of Iceland.

Re: Spaceships and astronomy
Total eclipses commonly occur in pairs 7 years apart and the 2024 eclipse, I think starts in Mexico, but then enters the US in Texas (if it isn't stopped by a wall or floating barrier?
) transitting the US via Carbondale, IL and then crosses into Canada and heads into the North Atlantic from New Foundland.

Yup, that total eclipse is 7 years after the last one that crossed the US from the PNW, across the US via Carbondale, IL to SC.
