The Solar Eclipse and The Ukrainian Politician

On today’s episode of NEXT2.0, we bring you two unique interviews from the campus of Penn State Behrend. Segment One: In 2024, the residents of Erie, Pennsylvania, were treated to a spectacular celestial event as a total solar eclipse graced the skies above their city. Thousands of eager onlookers gathered in parks, rooftops, and open spaces, armed with special viewing glasses and cameras, to witness this rare cosmic alignment. Erie was bathed in an otherworldly darkness for a few precious minutes, creating a moment of collective awe and wonder. The 2024 total solar eclipse left an indelible mark on the memories of those who witnessed it, a reminder of the beauty and majesty of the universe that surrounds us. Segment Two: The Russia-Ukraine conflict is a complex geopolitical saga that has gripped international attention for years. Amidst ceasefires and diplomatic efforts, the conflict has persisted, with ongoing humanitarian consequences and diplomatic reverberations felt worldwide. It's a sobering reminder of the fragility of peace in the 21st century and the enduring struggle for stability in the region. In the second segment, we interview Ukrainian Parliament Member Oleksiy Honcharenko, who gives his firsthand perspective on the conflict.
