Hollow Knight fans parched for more Silksong news are no strangers to disappointment when it comes to the big trailerthon showcases, but this week's Triple-I Initiative stung extra hard.
Anticipating Solar Fireworks: What to Expect During the April 8 Total Solar Eclipse
24.03.2024 - 14:01 / tech.hindustantimes.com
As the April 8 total solar eclipse draws near, sky gazers prepare for an astronomical display that promises not only a captivating display of darkness but also the potential for witnessing rare solar phenomena. For those fortunate enough to be in the path of totality, a brief period of darkness, known as totality, will offer a unique opportunity to observe the sun's corona without the need for solar eclipse glasses.
During totality, observers may catch a glimpse of dark-pink towers and loops of electrically charged plasma stretching into space, known as prominences. These awe-inspiring structures were vividly observed during the last total solar eclipse in Australia in 2023 and are expected to make a stunning appearance once again, given the sun's heightened activity during its 11-year solar cycle, known as solar maximum.
In addition to prominences, sky watchers may have the chance to witness other rare solar phenomena during totality. One such phenomenon is a coronal mass ejection (CME), which occurs when the sun ejects a massive amount of magnetic field and plasma mass from its corona. While the likelihood of observing a CME during totality is uncertain, astronomers remain hopeful for the possibility.
Another phenomenon to watch for is solar flares, powerful bursts of energy that emit various forms of radiation. Although rare, solar flares could potentially follow a CME and manifest as brief bursts of visible light and radio waves visible near the sun's surface.
Additionally, observers may witness eruptive prominences, massive solar structures that detach from the sun's surface and expand into the solar system. While these events are less common, they would provide a spectacular sight for those lucky enough to witness them.
Despite the brief duration of totality, efforts are underway to extend observation time and capture these rare solar events. Initiatives like the Citizen Continental-America Telescopic Eclipse (CATE 2024) project aim to document the eclipse's entirety, providing valuable insights into the sun's behavior during this rare event.

The Maw - 2nd April-6th April
New week, new PC games! It's another mercifully brief four day week in the UK due to reasons of religion, so let's roll with an appropriately snappy intro that avoids any extended digressionary preambles about, oh, I don't know, magpies fighting outside my flat this morning. Did you know that European magpies are great mimics? Second only to the Northern Mockingbird, apparently, though many ornithologists contend that the Brown Thrasher is sorely overlooked. You certainly hear their vocal range when they squabble - I reckon somebody should train up a ChatGPT AI on their calls and no, stop it, I'm doing an anecdote!

Something for the Weekend – 23/03/24
It’s that rare part of the year for avid European Formula 1 fans where we’re faced with the decision of setting alarm clocks and getting up at awful time of the morning to watch the Australian Grand Prix. Given the absolute dominance of the sport that we’ve seen in the past 18 months, I was not in that number for Qualifying this morning, but then, what was that I spied in the replay a few hours later? The glimmers of an interesting race? Well, now I’m wondering if I really want to set my alarm for 4AM tomorrow…
