文化 : After crossing the Pacific, the path of totality passes south of Mexico's Islas Revillagigedo; Isla Socorro will actually see a total eclipse, although it is somewhat north of the centreline. The eclipse then clips the Islas Marias, and hits the Mexican mainland just south of Mazatl醤, at 18:09 UT. Here, the path of totality is 199km wide, and the eclipse will last 4 minutes and 27 seconds.
The maximum eclipse occurs at 18:17 UT, near Nazas, Durango. The total eclipse will last 4 minutes 28.1 seconds, and will be visible over a path 198 km wide.
The path of totality then moves north-east through Sinaloa and Durango to Coahuila; Torre髇 should see the total eclipse about 18:19 UT. The centre of the eclipse crosses the Mexico-US border at Piedras Negras / Eagle Pass, at 18:30 UT. The total eclipse at this point is still 4 minutes and 27 seconds on the centreline. The total eclipse then heads north-east across the USA, crossing Texas, the south-east corner of Oklahoma, and Arkansas. The centreline of totality will pass just south of Dallas at 18:42 UT, with the total eclipse still over 4 minutes 20 seconds on the centreline. At 18:51 UT, the eclipse will be just south of Nimrod Lake, Arkansas -- 21 years later, the total eclipse of August 12, 2045 crosses the same spot; part of the incredible USA eclipse bonanza.
The centre passes just north of Little Rock, Arkansas, before crossing into Missouri; St. Louis is unlucky again, being just north of the eclipse path for the second time in 7 years at 18:59 UT. The eclipse then passes into southern Illinois; it passes just south of Carbondale at 19:01 UT, at which point the total eclipse will last 4 minutes 9 seconds on the centreline, and be visible over a path 186 km wide. This same spot saw a total eclipse just 7 years previously, on August 21, 2017. The eclipse path then crosses Indiana, with the centreline passing just south of Indianapolis at 19:08 UT; it then passes over Ohio, with the centreline passing over the waters of Lake Erie. The centreline will pass almost right over Buffalo, New York, at 19:20 UT; the eclipse duration is down to 3 minutes 45 seconds on the centreline, but that's still spectacular. With the path of totality still 178 km wide, Niagara Falls should see a good total eclipse. After crossing northern New York state, the centre of the eclipse clips Vermont and then passes briefly into Canada, before re-entering the USA in Maine, at 19:31 UT. The eclipse duration here is down to 3 minutes 27 seconds, but that's still a very long total eclipse. The eclipse path then crosses into New Brunswick, and clips the north of Prince Edward Island before passing right over the Magdalen Islands at 19:39 -- the centreline of totality will pass just north of Fatima, with the duration of the eclipse still over 3 minutes and the path width 167 km.

明信片鲜花 : 母亲节在许多国家以不同的方式发展。这是因为母亲节在不同的国家有不同的起源,因此发生在一年中不同的日子。
一个思想流派声称,这一天源于古希腊母亲崇拜的习俗。母亲崇拜,保持节日西贝勒,神的伟大母亲,和Rhea,克罗纳斯的妻子,在3月15日至3月18日在亚细亚小龙举行。他们坚持认为,这种习俗传遍了全世界。
母亲节是英国对母亲的庆祝。它也被称为中周,玫瑰周日和莱塔雷星期日。它最初来自维多利亚式的惯例,即允许公务员在这一天回家探望母亲。
在美国,朱莉娅·沃德·豪(1819 年 5 月 27 日 - 1910 年 10 月 17 日)是美国著名的废奴主义者、社会活动家和诗人。豪的《共和国战斗赞美诗》于1862年首次发表在《大西洋月刊》上,并在美国内战期间迅速成为联盟最受欢迎的歌曲之一。战后,她把活动重点放在和平主义和妇女选举权的事业上。1870年,她第一个宣布母亲节,她的母亲节公告。 1914年,美国总统伍德罗·威尔逊批准母亲节
