    [h=3]Solar eclipse 2017: The best places to see the rare phenomenon this August[/h] NASA produced these extremely accurate maps of the 2017 solar eclipse. On August 21, for the first time in 99 years, a total solar eclipse will cut through the entire continental United States. If you’re in the bull’s eye center of the moon’s shadow known as the totality - the sky will go dark for a few minutes in the middle of the day, stars will appear, birds will become confused and start chirping their nighttime songs.

[h=3]New Device Lets You Breathe Underwater Without Diving Equipment[/h] A small diving cylinder promises hassle-free underwater fun for everyone. Scorkl wants to free divers from having to use heavy and bulky equipment. It advertises diving for up to 10 minutes in shallow waters up to 20 meters. Founder David Hallamore set up a Kickstarter campaign to collect AU$ 30,000 ($22,824). One week after the campaign’s start he has already far surpassed the funding goal, collecting AU$ 485,726 ($369,543).

[h=3]Kellyanne Conway: If I Were Killed 'Half of Twitter' Would Celebrate[/h] Kellyanne Conway told Fox News’ Fox & Friends early Friday that if she were “shot and killed,” half of Twitter users “would explode in applause and excitement.” Conway’s remarks came while discussing the recent shooting at a GOP baseball practice in Alexandria, Virginia, which left five people injured including House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA). An adviser to President Donald Trump, Conway told Fox & Friends that she felt increasingly inflammatory rhetoric played a part in the shooting. “I went back and looked at what exactly what was being discussed on all the TV shows, except yours, at 7:09 a.m. on Wednesday when this happened and it’s a really curious exercise. Because as Steve Scalise

    [h=3]What Happened When This Man Discovered A Worm Crawling Inside His Eye[/h] SALAMBONGO, Democratic Republic of Congo ― Before the worms started crawling across his eyes, Jean-Marie Pongomoke would rise at 5 a.m. to track antelope in the bush, and in the evenings he would treat his kills, fix his monkey traps and polish his gun. The horror they glimpsed is a parasitic disease known as Loiasis, or African eye worm. Caused by the Loa loa worm, it is highly endemic in certain rainforest areas across 10 countries in Central and West Africa.

    [h=3]China sends unhackable message nearly 750 miles using quantum satellite[/h] Hacking as it relates to cyber warfare and espionage is as hot a topic as it's ever been, and everyone from the government to major tech firms like Apple and Google are working on locking down communications so as to make them as hack-proof as possible. Now, it seems China is taking the lead, and the country just used a quantum satellite launched last year to send what researches suggest is an unhackable communication , made possible by a branch of physics once pioneered by Albert Einstein. The satellite utilized a peculiar phenomenon known as quantum entanglement to send the message. Quantum entanglement is an extremely interesting feature of physics where two or more entangled particles - often called "twins" - will react in a correlated manner even when separated by huge distances, and when only one of the particles is directly receiving a stimuli. Using entangled pairs of photons separated by 1,200 km, Chinese researchers were able to establish a line of communication that is essentially impossible to be hacked. Because many bad actors tap into communications somewhere between the sender and receiver, the fact that quantum entanglement allows for data to be "sent" without actually traveling between two points makes it an extremely exciting option for secure messaging at very long distances. Scientists have known of quantum entanglement for some time, and have even proven that it works at distances of around 100 km. This newest test shows that it is feasible to close much wider gaps, and could be the ultimate step forward in rapid, safe data transfer.

    Colorado group wants to ban sale of cell phones for kids under 13

    DENVER -- Here in Colorado, there's a new grassroots effort to stop the sale of cell phones for use by children under the age of 13. The group, Parents Against Underage Smartphones (PAUS), is collecting signatures to get Initiative 29 on the 2018 ballot. Colorado officials have cleared the language of the proposed ballot measure, the Associate Press reported Sunday. Supporters need about 300,000 signatures. "Initiative 29 prohibits retailers from selling or permitting the sale of a smartphone to a person under the age of 13, or to any person who indicates that the smartphone will be wholly or partially owned by a person under the age of 13," the proposal states. "Retailers must verbally inquire

[h=3]London attacker who wanted to 'kill all Muslims' was saved by imam[/h] Worshippers leaving a London mosque early Monday were helping an elderly man who had collapsed when a van deliberately rammed them, driven by an attacker who shouted: "I want to kill all Muslims", witnesses said. Shortly after midnight, the van swerved towards people who had just left prayers at the Finsbury Park Mosque and the Muslim Welfare House in north London and were assisting their stricken fellow worshipper. "He just drove at people," witness Abdiqadir Warra told AFP of the attacker.

    [h=3]These will be the world's 10 biggest cities in 2030 - and none of them are in the US or Europe[/h] Lucas Jackson/REUTERS The human population is growing at an alarming rate. By 2050, there will be almost 10 billion people on the planet. We've been hearing this for years, but where is all this growth happening? Today, Tokyo is the most populous city in the world, with about 38 million residents. New York City is still in the top 10 ranking, with its nearly 8.5 million people. But in the next three decades, that's going to change. While population growth in the US and Europe stagnates, the number of people living in the Middle East, Asia, and Africa is going to skyrocket. By 2030, these will be the new 10 biggest cities in the world, according to the United Nations' World Urbanization Prospects:
