It is an annular solar eclipse, occurring when the Moon passes between the Earth and Sun at its farthest point from Earth. Because the Moon appears smaller than the Sun, it doesn’t completely cover it, creating a striking “ring of fire” effect in the sky.

Eight billion years into the future, astronomers have discovered what may be a future Earth. If the rocky planet doesn't get swallowed by our expanding sun, scientists may be able to see one of Earth's potential futures. The planet is about twice as big as Earth. By finding a far-off planet, astronomers have been able to get a unique look at what our planet might look like in eight billion years. The planet, known as KMT-2020-BLG-0414, is a rocky world 4,000 lightyears away from Earth that orbits a white dwarf, which is the burning remnant of a star. In 5 billion years, our sun is predicted to change into a white dwarf. But before then, Mercury, Venus, and maybe even Earth and Mars will be consumed by our sun as it accelerates outward into a red giant. In the end, if our planet survives, it might look something like this one as it moves further away from the cooling remnants of the dying cosmic inferno. The journal Nature Astronomy published the astronomers' description of the far-off world on September 26.

Sun Belt battleground states, per a New York Times poll. According to a new poll by the New York Times and Siena College, former president Donald Trump leads Vice President Kamala Harris in three crucial battleground states: Arizona, North Carolina, and Georgia. The survey, which was conducted from September 17 to 21, was conducted among 713 voters in Arizona, 682 voters in Georgia, and 682 voters in North Carolina. It was released on Monday. The margin of error for each state ranges from four to five percentage points. Concerns regarding the economy, immigration, abortion, and the nation's overall direction were voiced by voters in each of the three states.

Heritage Foundation distinguished fellow and former CKE Restaurants CEO Andy Puzder compares the Trump versus Harris economies and argues that one plan is fiscally better than the other.

2024 presidential election looks as though it's coming down to which campaign can successfully define Kamala Harris; look no further than the ads you see on TV in battleground states. This may also explain why polls in battleground states can paint a very different picture of the race from that of national polls. In the past several days, we've had a flurry of national polls with mostly good news for the Harris campaign, only to be followed by Monday's release of New York Times/Siena College polls of three Sun Belt battleground states — Arizona, Georgia and North Carolina — that presented a much more favorable view of the race for Donald Trump. I've been on the road recently in the Phoenix area and took a moment to catch Sunday's game between the Detroit Lions and the Arizona Cardinals on TV. Arizona voters are seeing their airwaves blanketed by political ads, and I was struck by the difference in approach from the Trump and Harris teams. Spots aired by Mr. Trump and his allies were largely negative ads about Ms. Harris, highlighting, in particular, her past position supporting the provision of gender transition surgery to incarcerated people. Meanwhile, ads from the Harris camp varied: While some hit Mr. Trump, particularly on the issue of abortion, more than a few were also purely positive ads, including highlighting her comment, during their debate, about her time as a prosecutor who «never asked a victim or a witness, 'Are you a Republican or a Democrat?'»

Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, could be visible across several northern and Midwestern US states this Friday night. As the sun nears the peak of its 11-year solar cycle, increased solar activity has created ideal conditions for this breathtaking natural phenomenon. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has forecast a Kp index of three for the upcoming event, which suggests heightened aurora activity and brighter displays in favorable weather conditions.

Earth's moon will have company for almost two months: a second moon. According to a study published in the journal Research Notes of the American Astronomical Society, 2024 PT5, an asteroid from the Arjuna asteroid belt, will technically be caught in the Earth's gravitational pull rather than a second moon. This is the number of mini-moons that form. When an object in space experiences Earth's gravitational pull, it can turn into an orbiter by fully rotating around the planet, or it can be called a flyby if it only partially rotates around the planet, as 2024 PT5 is currently doing. The horseshoe-shaped trajectory of 2024 PT5, which was discovered on August 7, indicates that it will complete a semi-orbit of Earth before resuming its regular orbit around the sun. The mini-moon, according to researchers, will occur between September 29 and November 25. Also Read :U.S Elections: Kamala Harris leading in all polls?
