hello sunshine I'm KY wire welcome to
CNN 10 happy Friday Friday and Pi Day
that's right March 14th or
3.14 the day we celebrate the
fascinating mathematical constant Pi the
ratio of a circle circumference to its
diameter Pi Day Has even been designated
by UNESCO as the International Day of
mathematics and did you know 314 is
Albert Einstein's birthday are you
celebrating P day today maybe with some
pie hope so let's get this show on the
road we start today with the total lunar
eclipse visible Across the Western
Hemisphere last night and early this
morning a lunar eclipse that's when the
earth passes between the Sun and the
Moon casting a shadow on the moon a
total lunar eclipse is when the entire
Moon Falls within the darkest part of
one of the Earth's shadows that's right
one of the Earth's shadows did you know
the Earth has two of them according to
NASA it's darker inner Shadow is known
as the Umbra and the lighter outer
Shadow is called the penumbra so the
tilt of the Moon around the earth and
these two different shadows behind which
the moon F pass they create three
different types of lunar eclipses one is
called the penumbral Eclipse when the
moon passes through the lighter outer
penumbra Shadow NASA says this type of
eclipse is so subtle that if you didn't
know it was happening you might not even
notice another is called a partial
eclipse which happens at least twice per
year that's when the moon only gets
covered by part of the Earth's umbra
only part of it is shaded in darkness by
the Earth finally the biggest and rarest
of them all the total lunar eclipse
these are often separated by years
because they require a precise alignment
of the Moon Earth and Sun while we might
think that a total lunar eclipse would
completely black out the Moon the Moon
actually takes on a deep red Hue as the
moon shifts deeper into the Umbra this
is why it's sometimes referred to as a
Blood Moon the Moon turns red because
the atmosphere is filtering out color at
the opposite end of the visible spectrum
the blue light the short wavelengths of
blue don't travel as far as the long red
wavelengths so they scatter before
reaching our eyes leaving behind this
red glow not everyone on Earth can see a
lunar eclipse at the same time you'll
need to be in an area facing the moon
during the moments it's shaded by Earth
but unlike a solar eclipse you don't
need any special equipment to enjoy a
lunar eclipse they are safe to watch at
any stage although a pair of binoculars
might make it more
fun pop quid is Hot Shot which of the
following was the first subaquatic
tunnel ever built in the world temps
tunnel in UK Holland Tunnel in the US
Baltimore Harbor tunnel in the US or
Detroit Windsor Tunnel in the US and
Canada answer is the TS tunnel Tel
constructed under the river temps in
London between 1825 and
1843 now to Europe where a
groundbreaking tunnel project will
connect Denmark and Germany it's under
construction under the Baltic Sea once
completed this tunnel will break records
as the longest immersed tunnel in the
world transforming European Rail and
road travel take a look at how this
incredible feat of engineering is taking
shape piece by giant concrete piece
you're looking at a record shattering
Marvel in in the making it's a tunnel
that's about to connect Germany and
Denmark under the Baltic Sea becoming
the longest immersed tunnel in the world
each one of these colossal concrete
segments weighs as much as roughly 10
Eiffel Towers they're built on land
first before two immersion pontoons
named Ivy 1 and 2 lower them into the
water altogether these 89 segments will
form a tunnel longer than 170 soccer
fields all of this is happening
underneath one of the world's busiest
shipping lanes by 2029 cars and trains
will be moving between the two countries
in a matter of minutes so who wants to
test it out
first to Brazil now where a clever
Grassroots conservation effort is
protecting species in the world's most
biodiverse country that's also home to
the world's fourth biggest road Network
Brazilian biologist Fernanda Abra is on
a mission to reconnect fragments of
forest cut apart by human-built
infrastructure by building canopy
bridges over a Highway in the Amazon
rainforest take a look at how the
project is protecting tree dwelling
mammals from dangerous encounters with
vehicles on the
[Music]
road Brazil is the most biodiversity
country in the world in terms of
primates nobody has more species of
primates than us in Brazil and we have
the fourth longest uh Road Network in
the world
of course roads cause problems and
impacts for primates so right here is
very easy to see the capuchin
monkey so he connector is a conservation
project that aims to reconnect the
Amazon rainforest and benefit tree
dwelling species to cross linear
infrastructure safely such as roads uh
Railways and
highways so we are creating a solution
to reduce fragmentation and reduce uh
Road mortality building and installing
artificial canop
Bridges so we have 32 canop Bridges
already installed in the states of
amazonas and hor and now we are
expanding the project in out of Floresta
so this is a city in matru state and
here we are installing uh seven new
canopy Bridges
so the Koper bridges are part of the
mitigation plan but the program Al of
floresa no atropella also includes uh
the implementation of underpasses
wildlife underpasses associated with
Wildlife fences and Wildlife crossing
signs
oh that's the most exciting part of the
project when you when we turn on the
camera and when we install them for each
Bridge we have two camera traps so one
of the cameras are facing the bridge so
then we're going to see how many
individuals and what species are using
the bridge and what's their behavior so
this is very interesting for sence but
the second camera looks forward to the
forest and I want to understand how many
individuals come closer to the canop
bridge and cross and how many don't
cross so understanding how many don't
cross maybe we can improve our design
and then we can benefit more uh
species so my vision for conservation is
to make the road infrastructure of
Brazil more sustainable for wildlife and
I believe that we can match the agenda
of infrastructure with the agenda of
biological conservation we just need to
work

together today's story getting a 10 out
of 10 an aquatic baby doll rescue a
crowd at the New England Aquarium
collectively gased when a little girl
named meline dropped her baby doll right
into an uncovered tank oh no the baby
doll whose name is baby was swimming
with the turtles even catching a ride on
one of the shells during its aquatic
Adventure mine's dad said she was
inconsolable without her doll but
luckily baby was pretty buoyant and an
aquarium staff were able to fish her out
of the tank sanitize the doll and
reunite her with a now very happy meline
all right everyone it is almost time to
end this week but before we do we got to
give a shout out and this one goes to
Catholic High School of New Iberia in
New Iberia Louisiana rise up Panthers
cue that Friday music not air let's go
out let's make this an awesome day and
remember wherever you go this weekend
you never know who or how but you just
might be the light someone needs to make
someone smile you are more powerful than
you know I'll see you Monday everyone
I'm KY wire and we are CNN 10
