'Ring of fire' solar eclipse will cut across the Americas

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 12:51:01 GMT

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A rare “ring of fire” eclipse of the sun cuts across the Americas on Saturday, stretching from Oregon to Brazil.For the small towns and cities along its narrow path, there was a mix of excitement, worries about the weather and concerns they'd be overwhelmed by visitors flocking to see the celestial event, also called an annular solar eclipse. Unlike a total solar eclipse, the moon doesn’t completely cover the sun during a ring of fire eclipse. When the moon lines up between Earth and the sun, it leaves a bright, blazing border.Saturday’s path: Oregon, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico and Texas in the U.S., with a sliver of California, Arizona and Colorado. Next: Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, Belize, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia and Brazil. Much of the rest of the Western Hemisphere gets a partial eclipse. Viewing all depends on clear skies — part of the U.S. path could see clouds. NASA and other groups planned to livestream it. With a chance of rain ...

But the Warriors won out a battle between the two teams’ bench squads in a tight 129-125 win on Friday night at Crypto.com Arena. Trayce Jackson-Davis’ block in the final seconds of the game, initially called a foul then overturned, helped secure the win.Jonathan Kuminga looks to be gaining confidence on the offensive end. He led the team again in points with 26 and didn’t hesitate to take the open 3-pointers — he went 3-for-5 from beyond the a...
