Ehlotyeni, enye yezona zinto zinomtsalane- kwaye ngokungathandabuzekiyo kunzima ukuziphosa- iziganeko zeenkwenkwezi ziya kwenzeka kulo lonke ilizwe laseMelika. Nge-Agasti ka-2017, ukusithwa kwelanga yonk 'ilanga kuya kunqumla indlela esuka e-Oregon ukuya eSouth Carolina, kunye nabo bangaphandle kwendlela emxinwa yokufumana umboniso omhle kwaye wehla kwilizwe liphela.
Ukufiphala kwelanga kubetha umhlaba ngoMvulo, nge-21 Agasti 2017 malunga ne-10: 15 AM PDT (1:15 PM EDT) kwaye emva koko ujikeleze ilizwe lonke kwi-diagonal, ecanda amazwe aliqela (kunye nembono yehlabathi ye-Earther flat). Ukongeza kwimephu epheleleyo yomfanekiso wase-U.S. Ongentla, i-NASA ineemephu zelizwe ezizimeleyo onokuzijonga kunye namaxesha okujonga ngqo kwindawo nganye, kunye nemephu yokuhlangana yamaxesha kuyo nayiphi na indawo ekude ngqo nendlela ngqo. Jonga ezi zilapha ukucwangcisa usuku lwakho.
Owona mboniso ungakholelekiyo, ngokuqinisekileyo, uya kuba semendweni opheleleyo, apho iNyanga iyakuyivimba ngokupheleleyo idiski yeLanga, ngesiquphe ivimbe ukukhanya kwayo kwaye iveze umbono womoya weLanga-i-corona. Oko kugubungela kuphela i-70-mile ye-radius, kodwa uninzi lwelizwe liseza kubona iLanga livaliwe yi-70% okanye nangaphezulu.
Oko kufanele ukuba ibe ngumbono ofanelekileyo, nangona kunjalo kuphela kukhuselekile ukujonga ilanga elingathintelekanga-nalo eliya kwabo phakathi indlela yetotali engaphandle kwelo xesha lifutshane ngokumangalisayo-ineiglasi ezikhethekileyo okanye ezinye izixhobo zokubukela. I-NASA inayo idatha ebanzi yokhuseleko kuleyo, kwaye iiglasi zigqumelele lukhetho olunamaxabiso aphantsi onokulufumana kwi-intanethi, ekufuneka ukuba uya kuba naphi na kufutshane netotali kwaye ufuna ukujonga lo msitho. Nceda ugcine amehlo akho, kwaye uthathe iipere zabantwana bakho, nazo. Inzululwazi imnandi kulo lonke usapho!
Indlela yetotali iyakushiya i-East Coast yase-US malunga ne-2: 48 PM EDT, kungekudala ngaphezulu kweyure emva kokuba iqalile. Sisiganeko esinqabileyo; ukusithwa kwelanga kokugqibela ukugqitha ngqo eUnited States kwenzeka kwiminyaka engama-38 eyadlulayo. Ukuba naphi na usondele kwindlela yetotali, zenzele ubabalo kwaye ufike apho unakho-nangayiphi na indlela, awuyi kufuna ukuyiphosa.
