Wow amazing
Tomorrow: February 17, 2026: Ring of Fire Solar Eclipse
On this date, the Moon will be at apogee—its farthest point from Earth—making it appear slightly smaller than the Sun. Because of this, it won’t completely block the Sun, leaving a brilliant ring of light glowing around the Moon for several unforgettable minutes.
The best view will be from Antarctica, while observers in southern South America and southern Africa will experience a partial eclipse. This rare annular alignment transforms the daytime sky into a fiery halo, creating one of nature’s most breathtaking spectacles.
It’s a powerful reminder that even when the Sun is mostly hidden, its light is never fully gone.

Illuminati Unknown Location 1977 “In the beginning, was darkness, emptiness, chaos. Then light came and with it came all life. In ancient times, our world was threatened by forces of darkness from within and from without. Our ancestors formed a council of light to keep back the darkness and protect our world. I, Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons of Themyscira, take my seat at this assembly.”

The Pride Flag and the Diversion
For nearly a decade, the LGBTQIA Pride Flag rippled in the wind at Christopher Park, a kaleidoscope of color staked into the soil of America’s first national monument to LGBTQIA+ liberation. That flag came down this week. Federal officials, citing new guidance from the Trump Administration, silently lowered the rainbow flag from its pole across the street from the Stonewall Inn. The birthplace of the modern gay rights movement now flies only the United States flag.
