NASA partners with Indianapolis Motor Speedway for Eclipse viewing experience





INDIANAPOLIS — The Solar Eclipse will be visible in Indiana one year from today.
This event marks the first total solar eclipse in the United States since August of 2017 and the first one in Indy since the year 1205.
Aside from Austin and Dallas, Indy is the largest city with a direct hit in the path of totality.
The 'Eclipse Capital of the Midwest' is expected to have an influx of more that 1 million visitors to witness the phenomenon.
To prepare, NASA and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway have teamed up for an exciting day of programming and celebration.
On April 8, 2024, NASA will broadcast live from the IMS and be on hand to answer questions and guide viewers through the experience.
IMS is one of only three broadcast locations across the country to partner with NASA for the event, according a NASA announcement.
In addition, over 100 events will take place over the Solar Eclipse weekend in Indy.
Some of the events include:
Total Eclipse of the Art festival at The Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields

Researchers find optimal way to pay off student loans

Image
After graduating or leaving college, many students face a difficult choice: Try to pay off their student loans as fast as possible to save on interest, or enroll in an income-based repayment plan, which offers affordable payments based on their income and forgives any balance remaining after 20 or 25 years. There are pros and cons to each option, and trying to discern the better path can be daunting. That’s why University of Colorado Boulder’s Yu-Jui Huang and Saeed Khalili, a former graduate student in financial mathematics, along with Dublin City University’s Paolo Guasoni, decided to throw a little mathematical muscle at the problem.The researchers developed a novel mathematical model for determining the optimal student loan repayment strategy, based on an individual borrower’s specific circumstances. In April, they published a  paper  outlining their approach in the  SIAM Journal on Financial Mathematics . Instead of choosing one of these distinct options and sticking with it

‘Massive-scale mobilization’ necessary for addressing climate change, scientists say

Image
A year after a global coalition of more than 11,000 scientists declared a climate emergency, Oregon State University researchers who initiated the declaration released an update today that points to a handful of hopeful signs, but shares continued alarm regarding an overall lack of progress in addressing climate risks. “Young people in more than 3,500 locations around the world have organized to push for urgent action,” said Oregon State University’s William Ripple, who co-authored “The Climate Emergency: 2020 in Review,” published today in Scientific American. “And the Black Lives Matter movement has elevated social injustice and equality to the top of our consciousness. “Rapid progress in each of the climate action steps we outline is possible if framed from the outset in the context of climate justice – climate change is a deeply moral issue. We desperately need those who face the most severe climate risks to help shape the response.” One year ago, Ripple, distinguished profess

Pandemic Underscores Value of Telehealth Options for AUD Treatment

Image
The need for physical distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic ushered in an expansion in the use of technologies to minimize person-to-person contact. The healthcare industry in particular saw a rapid growth of measures, collectively known as telehealth or telemedicine, to provide care and facilitate interactions between providers and patients. Telehealth encompasses a wide range of approaches. Its defining feature is that the visits are done remotely using technologies that may range from telephone and video calls to diverse internet-based platforms. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), telehealth has been used in clinical settings for more than 60 years. Between 2016 and 2019, the use of telehealth doubled from about 14 percent to about 28 percent. During the same period, the proportion of treatment facilities for alcohol and other substance use disorders that offered telehealth increased from about 14 percent to about 17 percent. T
