One of the most notable astronomical phenomena of the year will occur in the early morning of August 13th (Vietnam time), when the Moon will pass between the Earth and the Sun, creating a total solar eclipse.
Stargazers are over the moon. On August 12, the skies will be shrouded in a moon shadow due to a solar eclipse that will be visible in Europe, Canada and parts of the Northern US.

The new GWTC-5.0 catalog adds 161 black hole collision events, confirming Hawking's theorem and identifying second-generation black holes for the first time.
A LiveScience study says probably not. On the water side of the equation, the U.S. Geological Survey estimates that Earth has about 1.4 billion gigatons of water, including that in oceans, ice caps, glaciers, lakes, rivers, groundwater and vapor.
