Come watch a live stream of today's total solar eclipse

PopSci has teamed up with the University of Missouri, St. Louis, and East Central College in Union Missouri to provide an exclusive view of the eclipse from the path of totality.

Here's a breakdown:

12:45 p.m. EST — the live stream begins
12:48 p.m. EST — the partial eclipse begins
2:15 p.m. EST to 2:18 p.m. EST — the total eclipse
3:43 p.m. EST — the partial eclipse ends
Fun fact: the camera shooting the phenomenon is equipped with a #14 shade solar filter, which is the same kind used in eclipse glasses.


Happy watching!

Can this fruit be saved?

A banana is not just a banana "A Banana," says Juan Fernando Aguilar, "is not just a banana." The bearded botanist and I are traipsing through one of the world's most unusual banana plantations, moving down row after row of towering plants and ducking into the shade of broad leaves in an attempt to avoid the Central American midday heat. In an area about the size of a U.S. shopping mall, Aguilar, 46, is growing more than 300 banana varieties. Most commercial growing facilities handle just a single banana type-the one we Americans slice into our morning cereal. The diversity of fruit in Aguilar's field is astonishing. Some of the bananas are thick and over a foot long; others are slender and pinky-size. Some are meant to be eaten raw and sweet and some function more like potatoes, meant for boiling and baking or frying into snack chips. But Aguilar's admonition is aimed squarely at our northern lunch boxes and breakfast tables. For nearly e...

You once again have to register your drone—yes, even the little ones

You have to register your drone if you want to fly it outside. It costs $5, you can do it online here, and there are penalties if you take to the air without doing it. Now you know. Here’s some background. Not since Ross and Rachel on Friends has there been a more epic will-they-or-won’t-they story than the US has with drone registration. Up until 2015, casual pilots could send their drones skyward with little regulation from the FAA. Late in that year, however, a new program required pilots to pay a $5 registration fee and follow a series of specific rules, like keeping the craft within the pilot’s direct line of sight. More than 800,000 pilots registered their drones and became a part of a national database. Then, earlier this year, a District of Columbia court of appeals overturned the rule, citing the 2012 FAA Modernization and Reform act, which helped take into account the new crop of hobbyist operators sending UAVs skyward. Professionals using the crafts for commer...
