  • SPECIAL | Solar eclipse fans: Get ready for this rare celestial event
    Mar 28 2024

    On April 8th, tens of millions of people across the North American continent will be able to step outside their doors and witness a rare total solar eclipse - that’s when the moon passes between part of the Earth and the sun, temporarily blocking its light. It's our last chance to see one for 20 years in America. Charting a path through 13 states from Texas to Maine, and also passing parts of Mexico and Canada, skywatchers will show up in droves, snarling traffic, to don eclipse glasses and look up as the sun turns black. USA TODAY National Correspondent Elizabeth Weise has been covering this story for USA TODAY, detailing what makes this celestial event so incredibly special.

  • SPECIAL | The small city of Bristol is now the frontline of the abortion debate
    Mar 27 2024

    Bristol is a small Appalachian city that has become a microcosm of the national abortion debate. That’s because Bristol has a state line running through it – Virginia to the north, where abortion is legal, and Tennessee to the south, where it was outlawed after Roe v. Wade was overturned. USA TODAY Health Reporter Adrianna Rodriguez visited the city after the ban in Tennessee went into effect to document the impact on its residents.
