Anna and Avery break down yesterday's total solar eclipse — a 182-mile-wide shadow that swept from the Arctic through Greenland and Iceland to northern Spain, giving millions of people up to 2 minutes 18 seconds of totality. Plus: astronomers find three supermassive black holes sharing one distant galaxy (two are about to merge), Virgin Galactic pushes commercial spaceflight back to February 2027, and Rocket Lab signs a new launch customer for Neutron even as the rocket's debut slips further.**Full show notes:**Today's episode — S05E166, Thursday August 13, 2026:**Main story: The August 12 total solar eclipse.** The Moon's shadow crossed the Arctic Ocean, eastern Greenland, western Iceland, northern Spain, the Balearic Islands and out into the Mediterranean. Longest totality on land: 2 minutes 18 seconds at Látrabjarg, Iceland. Millions gathered across northern Spain, with the path also crossing A Coruña, Bilbao, Zaragoza, Valencia and Palma (Madrid and Barcelona were just outside the path). Observers reported seeing the solar corona, a prominence, and Jupiter, Mercury and Venus during totality. Spain gets another total eclipse on August 2, 2027.**Three supermassive black holes, one galaxy.** Astronomers led by Hannah Übler (Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics) used JWST to confirm three actively feeding supermassive black holes in galaxy J0148-4214, 12.5 billion light-years away — the first such triple system ever confirmed. Two of the three are on course to merge.**Virgin Galactic delays commercial flights to 2027.** The company's upgraded Delta-class spaceplane will now begin commercial service in February 2027, pushed back from Q4 2026, to complete avionics and systems installation. Shares fell 12% after-hours. $750,000 seat packages were oversubscribed.**Rocket Lab's Neutron: delay and deal.** Rocket Lab is hedging on a 2026 debut for its Neutron rocket, with the window potentially slipping into 2027 — even as the company signs a new five-launch deal with Kepler Communications.**Links & sources:**- [Space.com — Total solar eclipse live updates](https://www.space.com/news/live/total-solar-eclipse-today-aug-12-2026-live-updates)- [Space.com — Total solar eclipse 2026 thrills millions (photos, video)](https://www.space.com/stargazing/solar-eclipses/total-solar-eclipse-2026-thrills-millions-with-a-stunning-cosmic-spectacle-photos-video)- [CNN — Photos: Total solar eclipse 2026](https://www.cnn.com/2026/08/12/science/gallery/photos-total-solar-eclipse)- [Wikipedia — Solar eclipse of August 12, 2026](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_12,_2026)- [Max Planck Institute — Three supermassive black holes discovered in a single galaxy](https://www.mpg.de/26904239/three-black-holes-discovered-in-a-young-galaxy)- [SpaceNews — Virgin Galactic delays resumption of commercial flights to 2027](https://spacenews.com/virgin-galactic-delays-resumption-of-commercial-flights-to-2027/)- [Spaceflight Now — Window for 2026 Neutron debut is narrowing](https://spaceflightnow.com/2026/08/10/window-for-2026-launch-debut-of-rocket-labs-neutron-rocket-is-narrowing-as-development-continues/)- [Rocket Lab — Neutron launch deal with Kepler Communications](https://rocketlabcorp.com/updates/rocket-lab-inks-neutron-launch-deal-with-kepler-communications/)Follow us: @AstronomyDailyPodBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/astronomy-daily-latest-space-news--5648921/support.Sponsor Details:Ensure your online privacy by using NordVPN.

This week Nicola and Di chat with the inspiring and radiant Lizzie Williamson. Lizzie is a global motivator, TEDx speaker, bestselling author, former professional dancer, and is also known as "The Excuse Buster from Down Under." Lizzie has shared stages with Barack and Michelle Obama, Arianna Huffington and the Dalai Lama, and brings her infectious energy and practical tools to help people stop overthinking and start taking action. We chat to Lizzie about her early love of dance and the devastating postnatal depression she experienced after the birth of her second daughter. She shares the moment that changed everything, and how it only took two minutes to take the smallest possible step forward. That two-minute moment became the foundation of Lizzie's philosophy and her bestselling books, including her latest, Just Two Minutes. We talk about how shifting from an "all or nothing" mindset to "all or something" can be the difference between staying stuck and getting unstuck, and why the smallest actions can create ripple effects that change your life. We also loved hearing about Lizzie's tips for overcoming the sedentary workday, and her simple but powerful advice on gratitude, comparison, and building a circle of support, even if it starts with just one phone call to one friend. We had the best time with Lizzie, her warmth and energy are contagious, and we hope you love this episode as much as we did!

Jury consultant Robert Hirschhorn built his career on a promise to his late wife and mentor, Cathy Bennett: make her tools accessible to lawyers who couldn't otherwise afford them. That promise became VerdictHub, an AI tool that runs venue-specific surveys using the equivalent of 500 "digital jurors," with results delivered in three days for $3,000. Robert joins Ben Gideon and Rahul Ravipudi to break down when a two-minute voir dire can outperform an hour-long one, why he's reversed course on jury questionnaires, and how scaled questions can flag problem jurors fast. Ben compares VerdictHub against his own live-juror data test. Tune in for where AI helps jury selection — and where it still can't replace instinct.Learn More and Connect☑️ Robert Hirschhorn | LinkedIn☑️ Cathy E.

Forced labor enforcement is re-gaining momentum with 43 new entities added to the UFLPA Entity List on top of the recently issued Section 301 tariffs. Importers should prepare for more scrutiny and enforcement.
Was the "I can't breathe" chant tied to masks part of a ritual and are syringes and mRNA vials equivalent to crosses and holy water? Congress has held a hearing of Dr. Anthony Fauci, which is about 10% serious, where he constantly pleads the fifth under legal council because they know his Pardon is worthless. He will be publicly burdened with all the guilt before permanently retiring from public view with his wealth and remanning years of his life. Everyone else involved, including Governors like Andrew Cuomo--who admitted he had no real power after the fact--has their guilt and culpability absolved by the Fauci scapegoat while the very people behind creating this monster now take credit for his public crucifixion in an attempt to gain back what little trust the traumatized public is wiling to part with in exchange for "2 minutes hate." The current White House leadership was behind Operation Warp Speed and subsidizing mRNA specific products while targeting the non-mRNA producers (additionally, he backed these products after it was no longer viable to deny their danger), the $2.2 Trillion of artificial stimulus under the CARES Act, invocation of the Defense Production Act to manufacture ventilators and #N95 masks, the promotion of alternative treatments like hydroxychloroquine (largely manufactured by Israel's Teva Pharmaceuticals, the same company behind GAHT drugs), and then awarded sociopaths like Jared Kushner and Anthony Fauci a presidential commendation. His administration did nothing to combat the out of control tyrants in sates like New York or California that abused their power, threatened and lied to the public, destroyed businesses, and turned citizens against each other. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Send us Fan MailJosh stops masking his ADHD, which accidentally launches one of the deepest conversations we've ever had. After feeding years of podcast transcripts into AI, we discover what artificial intelligence thinks our personalities actually are and it isn't entirely flattering.Along the way we wrestle with uncomfortable questions about identity, memory, and whether there's even such a thing as a single "real" version of ourselves. Then our nine year old casually delivers a line that sounds like it came from a Buddhist monk instead of a fourth grader.Also...World Cup musings, and Game Time from Amanda.It's an episode about identity, neurodivergence, parenting, pressure, and why every conversation in this family somehow ends with ancient Greece or medieval France.Super Familiar with The Wilsons Find us on instagram at instagram.com/superfamiliarwiththewilsonsand on YoutubeContact us! familiarwilsons@gmail.comA Familiar Wilsons Production

Spain may be the best footballing team at the 2026 World Cup. But are they prepared for everything Argentina will bring to the final?Seb White is joined by Dan Harris and football writer Joseph O'Sullivan to preview Spain versus Argentina and examine the aggression, tactical intelligence and psychological warfare behind Lionel Scaloni's world champions.Joseph explains how Argentina disrupted England from the opening minutes, hunted opponents in packs and immediately punished Thomas Tuchel's defensive substitutions.The panel also debates whether Spain's relaxed young team can handle Argentina's intensity, why Lionel Messi is only one part of their threat and whether Lamine Yamal, Rodri and Marc Cucurella can prevent Argentina from turning the final into chaos.They also discuss England's self-inflicted semi-final defeat, the attacking substitutions Tuchel failed to make and whether the World Cup third-place play-off should be scrapped.

Chad Coll just wanted to be an artist.A lax bro from Maryland without any dreams beyond that, Coll moved to the Seacoast in 2009 after joining the Coast Guard. From there, he fell in love with the area, and when his Coast Guard stint ended, he pursued a variety of jobs and hobbies that all involved making things with his hands, including making wooden spoons.Despite making these spoons for 10 years, he only started selling his wooden spoons two years ago at farmer's markets in Charlottesville, V.A., where he lived for five years.But when he moved his family back to the Seacoast last year, that's when things started to take off - mainly due to C.S. Spoon Co.'s OVERWHELMING success on social media.Today, C.S. Spoon Co. has 29,000 followers on Instagram and nearly an additional 10,000 on TikTok, and social media is by far and away the biggest driver of business for the Kittery-based small family business.From his woodworking studio in Kittery, M.E., Coll joins host Troy Farkas to discuss the explosion of the brand in 2026, why he focuses on only making wooden spoons, the inspiration behind his viral social media videos, how these spoons sell out every week, and how this business is finally allowing Coll to live the life he's always dreamt of.To shop C.S.

From the Boston Tea Party to the tariffs of today – our country's 250 years of trade policy have generated quite a bit of fireworks!
Send us Fan MailThe fastest way to turn pickup time into a power struggle is to start with a checklist: seatbelt, behavior report, homework, chores, questions, questions, questions. If you've ever watched your kid shut down the second they get in the car, we get it and there's a better first move.I'm Dr. Beth Trammell, a licensed psychologist, and I'm sharing one of my favorite tools for improving child behavior without raising your voice: pairing. Pairing is a simple, ABA-informed strategy that helps parents and teachers build connection on purpose so kids are more willing to follow directions later. We break down what pairing is (and what it isn't), why kids often experience “How was your day?” as pressure, and how small moments of warmth can lower frustration for everyone.You'll hear exactly when to use pairing (the first 15 seconds to two minutes after being apart), what to avoid during that window (commands and rapid-fire questions), and what to say instead. We also talk through easy scripts, morning and after-school routines, and quick connection options like a smile, a compliment, a hug, or a fist bump to create the psychological safety that makes cooperation more likely.If you try this connection-first approach, share what changes for your family or classroom. Subscribe, share this with a parent or teacher who needs it, and leave a review so more people can find the show.Support the showwww.bethtrammell.com
What if the way you've been trying to manage stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm is missing one essential piece… your heart? In this deeply fascinating conversation, I sit down with Dr. Deborah Rozman, behavioral psychologist, President and co-CEO of HeartMath, and one of the leading pioneers in the science of heart coherence and heart-brain communication. We explore how our emotional states directly impact the body, why HRV may reveal far more than most people realize, and what actually happens when the heart and brain fall into sync. Deborah shares the research behind intuition, nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, and the measurable effects of coherence on our health, mental state, and overall well-being. We also talk about anxiety, trauma, emotional patterns, meditation, wearable devices, performance states, and why practices like gratitude and heart-focused breathing may be far more powerful than we've been taught. One of my favorite moments in this episode is when Deborah guides us through a real-time heart coherence practice you can follow along with — a simple yet powerful exercise designed to help calm the nervous system, quiet the mind, and bring you back into balance within minutes.
