Solar and lunar eclipses
This year, there will be two eclipses of the sun and two eclipses of the moon and three of these will be visible for some people in North America, according to The Old Farmer’s Almanac.
An annular eclipse of the sun will happen on June 10, visible in northern and northeastern North America from 4:12 a.m. ET to 9:11 a.m. ET. The sun won’t be fully blocked by the moon, so be sure to wear eclipse glasses to safely view this event.

For 18-year-old Enrique Mora, a strong SAT score was supposed to be among the high-stakes barometers that would help determine how he’d spend life after high school.
