A graphic of peak eclipse in Detroit, Michigan with the title "View from Detroit, MI: Sun will be 99% obscured."
An image of a globe focused on North America. The path of the April 8 eclipse is shown. Small suns across the continent show what the eclipse looks like at each spot at 3:06 pm ET
A map of North America showing the path of totality for the April 8 eclipse. The map shows which areas will have 100%, 90%, 80%, etc of the sun covered. Cities that will see 100% of the sun covered include Mazatlán, Eagle Pass, San Antonio, Austin, Dallas, Little Rock, Indianapolis, Cleveland, Buffalo, Burlington and Houlton.
An image of a globe focused on North America showing upcoming total eclipses over the next 50 year. The upcoming April 8 total eclipse is highlighted in yellow. It crosses the U.S. from Texas to Maine, also going through Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and a few other states. The next total eclipse visible in the U.S. will be in 2044, only visible in Montana and North Dakota. After that, one will happen in 2045, going through California, Nevada, Utah, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and a few other states. In 2052 and 2071, total eclipses will also pass through the U.S.
A chart comparing the life expectancy of U.S. states and shows if they have a higher or lower life expectancy than Indiana. Each state has a horizontal line and a rank. This is the order of the first 25 states (continued in next image): Hawaii (1st) California (2nd) Washington (3rd) Massachusetts (4th) New Hampshire (5th) Minnesota (6th) Oregon (7th) Vermont (8th) Connecticut (9th) Colorado (10th) Rhode Island (11th) Idaho (12th) Maine (13th) Florida (14th) New York (15th) Utah (16th) Nebraska (17th) New Jersey (18th) Wisconsin (19th) Virginia (20th) Iowa (21st) North Dakota (22nd) Illinois (23rd) Montana (24th) South Dakota (25th)
A line chart with the headline: "Life expectancy for women has increased in the developed world since 1980, but the United States has fallen behind the pack. The lines show overall life expectancy in U.S., Indiana, and peer countries from 1980 to 2020. France is shown as one of the highest lines. The U.S. line starts out in the middle of the peer countries, but ends up at the bottom of the list. Indiana's line is close to the U.S. at the beginning, but dips lower starting in about 1990. All of the lines dipped slightly in 2020 due to factors including COVID-19.
A chart with the headline: "A 22-year-old woman will live for 59 more years on average. That's about the same as a similar person in Hungary." The chart has a horizontal line for each place's life expectancy. It shows that Hungary has the closest life expectancy to Indiana for a 22-year old, with a bit less than 1 year more than Indiana. Japan has the highest life expectancy on the chart with about 10 more years. Here is the order of the places from most to least life expectancy: Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Switzerland, Spain, Norway, Finland, Italy, Sweden, Iceland, Austria, Netherlands, Belgium, Taiwan, Estonia, Czech Republic, Poland, U.S. overall, Ecuador, Hungary, Indiana, Kyrgyzstan.
A graphic with different colored concentric circles. The first layer of circles are white and represent your age. The second layer are yellow and represent your average expected years remaining based on life expectancy data. The last layer is pink/purple and represents how many more years someone from Japan would live. There are three text boxes that say, "If you were a 22-year-old woman from Indiana, you could expect to live 59 more years. That's 10 years fewer than a 22-year-old woman from Japan."
An animated illustration titled "the ideal body according to competitive eaters." A person's silhouette is outlined and filled with gray. Inside their torso, you can see sketched outlines of an esophagus, a wide ribcage, their stomach and their large intestine. As the animation plays, the stomach grows increasingly stretched out while chunks of hot dogs and buns move down the esophagus and into the digestive system. These are the labels pointing to the person's various body parts: Short neck: less transit time between mouth and stomach. Long torso: more vertical space for food. Wide build: more horizontal space for food. Wide ribcage: allows maximum stomach expansion.
A chart showing the amount hot dog contest winners and other competitors ate each year of the annual July 4 contest from 1980 to 2022. The source of the data is Major League Eating, the governing body of competitive eating. The chart was created by the Wasington Post. Each data point is marked with a small hot dog icon. From 1980 to 2000, the average champion ate about 16 hot dogs to win. Starting in 2007, Takeru Kobayashi drastically increased the winning amount by doubling the previous record of 25 when he ate 50 hot dogs in 12 minutes. Since then, the winning amount has continued to increase, peaking in 2021 with Joey Chestnut's all-time record of 76 dogs and buns in 10 minutes. In 2011, a separate contest began for women, and Miki Sudo has been the champion of the women's contest for 8 of the 12 annual women's contests, excluding 2021 when she didn't compete because she was pregnant. Data for all contestants was unavailable for 1980 to 2004 and 2006. Previously 12 minutes most year
