Summary

Former NASA astronaut Mike Massimino is watching the eclipse from Arkansas, square in the path of totality. He explains how to safely view the event, either with special glasses or with a pinhole camera. South Carolina women’s basketball defeated Caitlin Clark’s Iowa team in the NCAA championship. WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert, former Deloitte CEO, discusses the victory’s momentum for women’s sports and record breaking viewership. U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is in China, and CNBC’s Sara Eisen reports that her visit has been covered positively by the Chinese media. Plus, Snapchat is responding to backlash for its “friend ranking” feature, and Brazilian Supreme Court Justice has initiated an investigation of Elon Musk over his refusal to restrict certain X accounts in Brazil. Happy eclipse viewing!
