A video posted to social media this month captured two men destroying ancient rock formations at Lake Mead National Recreation Area in Nevada. National park rangers are asking for the public’s help in identifying the visitors, who could face federal charges for vandalizing protected land.
Boarding a plane can often be a frustrating experience, particularly due to the lengthy process, straining to hear boarding groups and securing an overhead bin space — all before finally settling into a seat. However, Delta Air Lines is hoping to streamline this process by changing how it calls boarding groups.

While it may have only been a partial solar eclipse for Southern Nevada, Monday's celestial event was a crowd-pleaser for hundreds of locals who showed up for a big watch party at the College of Southern Nevada (CSN).
Did you see the total solar eclipse? If you were one of the lucky ones with cloudless skies on Monday (April 8), you might be hooked on eclipse chasing for the rest of your life. And if you were one of the unlucky ones stuck under clouds, well, there's always next time. But when is that next time? If you're willing to travel abroad, not that long: two years and change. But if you want to stay in the U.S., you'll be waiting a while: nearly a decade.
You've probably seen the viral videos where planes appear to be frozen in the sky, hovering in place rather than flying forward as they usually do. While some are quick to call the situation a glitch in the matrix, there's a fairly simple explanation: It's an optical illusion due to the parallax effect.
Las Vegas isn’t on the direct path of today’s solar eclipse, but the partial covering will still be a sight worth seeing, says Francisco Silva, vice president for outreach at the Las Vegas Astronomical Society.
Home gardeners can expect to observe these changes during the upcoming eclipse
Molecules containing inert elements should not exist. According to the definition of a rare gas, helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and radon, the chemical elements located on the far right of the periodic table, are difficult for other elements to bond and form compounds. In fact, people have never observed any natural existence on the earth. of molecules containing inert elements. But about a decade ago, astronomers stumbled upon these compounds in space.

“There’s just something about the moon blocking the sun that intrigues people, and me too,” a 51ԹϺ student commented Thursday morning on campus when asked about the solar eclipse on Monday. But, how much of the moon’s coverage of the sun will depend on where you are.
