LOADING ERROR LOADINGNEW YORK (AP) — A blood-red moon will soon grace the skies for a total lunar eclipse — and there won’t be another until late 2028. The spectacle will be visible Tuesday morning from North America, Central America and the western part of South America. Tuesday’s total eclipse of the moon comes two weeks after a ‘ring of fire’ solar eclipse that dazzled people and penguins in Antarctica.

Compared to a solar eclipse, “the lunar eclipse is a little more of a relaxed pace,” said Catherine Miller at Middlebury College’s Mittelman Observatory.

Brandon Bell/Getty ImagesThe attacks on Iran are already sending US gasoline prices higher, and even steeper increases are likely to come soon. Prices in world oil markets jumped Monday – it won’t take long for prices at pumps to follow suit. US gasoline prices typically start climbing this time of year because of increased seasonal demand, and the high point for gas prices in recent years has come in mid-April. Kloza said it’s too soon to tell how far gas prices will rise.

The search for sustained consistency remained a focus for the Lakers on Sunday against a Sacramento Kings team with the NBA’s worst record. And it helped that the Lakers were completely healthy against the Kings, something that has eluded them nearly all season. Behind strong efforts from Luka Doncic and LeBron James, the Lakers defeated the struggling Kings 128-104 at Crypto.com Arena in their second straight blowout win. Doncic, one of five Lakers to score in double figures, scored 28 points on 10-for-16 shooting. But Doncic regained his balance and the ball before shooting an off-balance three-pointer that gave the Lakers a 24-point lead.

Two U.S. officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters the U.S. service members were killed on a base in Kuwait. Trump sought to brace the U.S. public for more casualties as he acknowledged the deaths, the first in major operations since he returned to office last year. They waited too long,” Trump was quoted as saying in an interview with the Atlantic magazine. Senator Chris Coons said he did not see how regime change in Iran could happen with the current operation.
