Good News for Canada! Prime Viewing Spots for Today's Solar Eclipse

Looking to catch a glimpse of the solar eclipse today? You might be in luck if you’re in the path of totality! Here’s a look at the regions with the best view:

  • Canada’s East Coast in the spotlight: Eastern Canada (Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick) has the best chance of clear skies for viewing the eclipse.

  • Hold off on that road trip: You might not need to travel far for a great view. The eclipse could be visible from your own backyard!

  • Unlucky spots: Southern Ontario has a lower chance of clear skies due to high cirrus clouds. Atlantic Canada and Newfoundland are also uncertain due to departing weather systems. Fingers crossed. 🤞

  • Forget the history books: Traditionally, clear skies are expected in the southwestern US, but this time, a low-pressure system will bring clouds.


Spotify is Now Offering Online Courses (in the UK for Now)

Music, podcasts, audiobooks... and now, courses? Spotify makes a move to offer courses on the platform. The current sentiment online from users is that it should remain focused on music offerings and a little confusion.

Key takeaways

  • Spotify is testing online courses: They've partnered with platforms like BBC Maestro and Skillshare to offer video-based courses on a variety of topics, including music production, creativity, business, and wellness.

  • Why? Spotify sees a trend of users seeking educational content on the platform and wants to expand its offerings. They can also target courses to users based on their listening habits.

  • How it works: Course previews are free, but you'll need to pay to access the full content (similar to audiobooks). Purchases can't be made directly in the app (thanks to app store fees)—you'll receive a purchase link via email (Android) or need to go to the Spotify website (iOS).

  • The future of courses on Spotify? It's unclear if this will be a permanent feature, but it could potentially be included in a future premium tier offering additional benefits.

Why this matters: This generation loves to learn and consume content in new ways. If Spotify expands courses globally, it could revolutionize how you access educational content.

 🌐 AROUND THE INTERWEBS  

Crowds have already begun to fill up the Niagara region as they anticipate the solar eclipse, a rare celestial event at one of the natural wonders of the world - Niagara Falls.

See the video below.

The internet is running wild with conspiracies surrounding CERN and the solar eclipse. CERN is set to test the world’s most powerful particle accelerator during today’s solar eclipse to search for ‘invisible’ matter that secretly powers our universe.

However, CERN reassures it is simply taking care of routine annual maintenance and it’s not at all connected with the solar eclipse.
