A total solar eclipse is set to occur in the U.S. on April 8, and people are making plans to be in the right place when it happens.

Ukraine’s tears of despair turned to joy after qualification for the Euro 2024 was achieved with a dramatic 2-1 victory over Iceland in their playoff final played in a neutral but partisan Wroclaw Stadium in Poland on Tuesday. Viktor Tsygankov and Mykhailo Mudryk scored second half goals as it was mission accomplished in a campaign where Ukraine have been forced to play ‘home’ fixtures in Slovakia, Czech Republic, Germany and Poland following Russia’s February 2022 invasion of the country that sparked a war which still rages. Albert Gudmundsson had put Iceland ahead in the first half but they surrendered possession…
