No solo podrás ver el eclipse, también podrás sentirlo

Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 19:05:34 GMT

(CNN) — El eclipse solar anular del anillo de fuego de este sábado alterará las condiciones climáticas en la superficie de la Tierra a medida que se desarrolle en el cielo.Los cambios en la temperatura, la velocidad del viento y la humedad ocurren cuando la luna cruza frente al sol durante un eclipse solar y proyecta una sombra sobre la superficie de la Tierra.Cuanto más se bloquea la luz solar, más dramáticos son los cambios climáticos. El efecto es comparable a cómo las áreas sombreadas terminan mucho más frescas en un día caluroso que cualquier lugar expuesto a la luz solar directa.El eclipse anular de este sábado bloqueará hasta el 90% del sol en un estrecho trayecto desde Oregón hasta Texas. Los eclipses anulares permiten que una cantidad ligeramente mayor de radiación solar (luz solar y energía) llegue a la superficie de la Tierra que un eclipse total, que bloquea completamente el sol.Pero una reducción de la radiación solar, por breve que sea, puede afectar las temperat...

Hurkacz powers past Korda to advance to Shanghai Masters final

Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 19:05:34 GMT

SHANGHAI (AP) — Hubert Hurkacz served his way into the Shanghai Masters final with a dominant 6-3, 6-4 win over Sebastian Korda on Saturday.The 17th-ranked Polish player was untouchable on serve and didn’t face a break point.Hurkacz sent down 14 aces and denied Korda, who beat compatriot Ben Shelton in a quarterfinals thriller, any chance of finding his rhythm. As the pressure mounted on the 23-year-old American, Hurkacz pounced to take a vital break in each set to complete an impressive outing.“I’m working on being difficult to play against,” Hurkacz said. “It’s the same with every opponent. They try to come out with their best foot forward that day and they’re trying to (implement) their tactics or plan against you. You’ve just got to stay mentally strong and really battle.”Hurkacz, who won the Miami Masters in 2021, will play either Grigor Dimitrov or seventh-ranked Andrey Rublev, who play later Saturday.___AP tennis: https://apnews.com/hub/tennisSource

Colorado’s two-way star Travis Hunter scores two touchdowns in return from lacerated liver

Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 19:05:34 GMT

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — Two-way standout Travis Hunter returned from a lacerated liver that sidelined him for three games and played the roles of both hero and goat in Colorado’s 46-43 collapse against Stanford on Friday night.Hunter led the Buffaloes with 13 catches for 140 yards and two touchdowns in his first game in nearly a month, and he collected five solo tackles on defense. But he also was burned by Cardinal star receiver Elic Ayomanor, whose school-record 294-yard performance was highlighted by a 30-yard touchdown catch in the first overtime. The stout sophomore corralled Ashton Daniels’ throw on the back of Hunter’s helmet, held on as their momentum took both into the end zone and lifted the ball over Hunter’s head just as he backpedaled in for the score.Coach Deion Sanders didn’t hold back on Hunter’s workload and when it was suggested that decision will be scrutinized in light of Ayomanor’s big day, Sanders retorted, “His condition...

Dalia Hatuqa is a freelance journalist based in Ramallah.RAMALLAH — My morning last Saturday, like so many others in this region of the world, began with a barrage of successive messages on my phone that startled me awake. I stood up and stared bleary-eyed into my phone. The headlines slowly burrowed into my foggy brain: Hamas had launched an operation and militants had broken through the fence that had kept Palestinians in Gaza under siege for 16 years.I sent frantic WhatsApp messages to friends from Gaza who live in the West Bank: My neighbor Ola told me her family had to flee their home to another part of the densely populated enclave. My friend Tahreer said five of her extended family were killed in Israeli shelling and her friend Eman had learned that her father, mother and brother had all died in an airstrike.Across the street from my house, a charity had opened its doors overnight to house Gaza-based workers who had been in Israel during the Hamas attack and who were expelled...

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian officials reported intense combat, characterized by relentless assaults by Russian forces, as the ongoing attack on an eastern Ukrainian city of Avdiivka entered its fifth consecutive day on Saturday.“The enemy has not stopped either assaulting or shelling positions” around Avdiivka, city head Vitalii Barabash said on Ukrainian television.Barabash also reported that Moscow was deploying additional forces to encircle the strategically important city in the eastern Donetsk region, situated just north of the Moscow-held regional capital, also called Donetsk.Around 1,600 civilians remain within the city, a stark contrast to its prewar population of about 31,000.Barabash’s comments came after Russia’s U.N. ambassador, Vassily Nebenzia, told a U.N. Security Council meeting on Friday that the intensified attacks in the east amounted to a new stage in Moscow’s campaign in Ukraine.“Russian troops have, for several days now, switched over to active combat ...

A proposed gag order on Trump in his federal election case is putting the judge in a tricky position

Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 19:05:34 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — A proposed gag order aimed at reining in Donald Trump’s incendiary rhetoric puts the judge overseeing his federal election interference case in a tricky position: She must balance the need to protect the integrity of the legal proceedings against the First Amendment rights of a presidential candidate to defend himself in public.U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan will hear arguments Monday in Washington over whether Trump has gone too far with remarks such as calling prosecutors a “team of thugs” and one possible witness “a gutless pig.” It is the biggest test yet for Chutkan, underscoring the unprecedented complexities of prosecuting the former Republican president as the judge vows not to let political considerations guide her decisions. Ending the stream of Trump’s harsh language would make the case easier to manage. But among the difficult questions Chutkan must navigate is how any gag order might be enforced and how one could be fashioned that does n...
