An earthquake on Friday rocked the area. Now a total solar eclipse is coming our way on Monday. Two rare occurrences happening days apart. Add to that mix, the Francis Scott Key bridge collapse last month and the 70 military helicopters flying through Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport’s airspace this weekend. What is going on here? What else can happen?
The 2024 total solar eclipse, will be experienced on Monday, April 8, 2024. Thirty years ago (1984), the moon blocked 99% of the sun and seven years ago in 2017, the moon blocked less than in 1984.
Aside from the scientific differences, this eclipse is also different than the one in 2017 as it will reach a larger audience, says NASA.

Some of the questions over the week have been: What time will this event occur? Why is this eclipse more important than the many other ones? What can we expect? With the help from a NASA video, we will attempt to answer your questions.
The eclipse will cross North America on Monday, passing over parts of Mexico, central and eastern United States and southeastern Canada. The eclipse passes over Mexico at approximately 11 a.m. (EDT) and exits the continental North America on the Atlantic coast at 5:16 p.m. (NDT), according to NASA.
This video by NASA will: Explain what happens during an eclipse and why you may want to look down; Shows the path of the eclipse’s totality path; and How to make your own “glasses” if you don’t have the eclipse special glasses.

Hey,
I was looking at lowerbuckssource.net today and noticed it’s loading slowly on mobile — particularly when on a mobile data connection. It looks like the issue is heavy backend scripts and unoptimised assets rather than anything to do with your design.
Since Google actively down-ranks slow-loading pages, and visitors tend to abandon sites that take too long, it’s worth knowing where you stand.
You can check your live scores on Google’s official diagnostic tool here:
https://pagespeed.web.dev
Just pop your domain in and check the Mobile score.
If you’re sitting in the red or orange, reply with your score and I’ll look under the hood and send over the exact fixes needed.
Best,
Sarah
