The 2024 total solar eclipse has officially arrived, and there is so much going down on Monday, April 8 that you may need an actual guide to the solar eclipse to truly apreciate it. If you're just now planning your April 8 2024 solar eclipse experience, there are plenty of maps, timelines and other information to help you maximize the 2024 event. According to USA Today, any celestial object like a moon or a planet that passes between two other bodies can create an eclipse by obscuring the view of objects like the sun. A total eclipse occurs when the moon appears as the same size as the sun and blocks the entire disk, leading to a period of darkness lasting several minutes. The resulting "totality," when observers can see the outermost layer of the sun's atmosphere, known as the corona, confuses animals " nocturnal creatures stir and bird and insects fall silent.

The Federal Communications Commission formally notified Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) providers that, due to a lack of additional funding from Congress, the agency will only be able to fully fund the program through the month of April.

The letter also highlighted the immediate impact that the ACP enrollment freeze has had on households wishing to enroll in the program but are now unable to do so.

A number of tuberculosis cases have been detected among migrants at city shelters, the Chicago Department of Public Health confirmed. The health department could not share exactly how many cases were found or identify shelters. But the department said there haven't been any reports of TB in the city from an exposure to migrants positive for the infection. TB cases pop up in Chicago each year, with about 100-150 infections detected annually, said Jacob Martin, a spokesperson for the health department. Because of that, the health department needs to sort through its data to figure out which cases are new arrivals and which are other city residents. Those numbers will be made public once that analysis is complete.
