thank you
hey everyone it's your boy Coy today is
Thursday so happy Friday Eve we're
motoring our way to the weekend this is
CNN 10. we have an awesome show for you
today so without further Ado let's do
what we do we start today with the
latest news from the midterm elections
election day is over but key races
remain uncalled in the Senate the
balance of power rests in the hands of a
few swing States and one critical Senate
race the one in Georgia is now projected
to go to a runoff why because neither
the incumbent Democratic senator Rafael
Warnock nor Republican Challenger
Herschel Walker had the required 50 plus
one vote to win the election outright
it's a super close race that now won't
be decided until December 6th but there
are actually three states that will now
determine which party wins control of
the senate for the rest of this term
Georgia Arizona and Nevada and in the
House of Representative elections
projections show that while Democrats
had a stronger than expected showing
they will lose seats and Republicans
remain cautiously optimistic about
winning control of the house both of
these Chambers were still up for grabs
when we produced this show head to
cnn.com for the latest election results
10-second trivia what's occurring when
the earth passes directly between the
Sun and the Moon casting a shadow on the
moon winter solstice summer equinox
solar eclipse or lunar eclipse
the answer here is lunar eclipse but not
all eclipses are created equal
a lunar eclipse is when the moon passes
through the Earth's Shadow this only
occurs during a full moon two factors
decide which of three possible eclipses
the moon will experience the tilt of the
moons orbit around the Earth and which
of the Earth's two Shadows the moon
falls behind
the Earth's darker inner Shadow is known
as the Umbra and the lighter outer one
is called the penumbra
the penumbral eclipse is when the moon
passes through you guessed it just the
penumbra NASA says this type of eclipse
is so subtle that if you didn't know it
was happening you might not even notice
it a partial eclipse is when the moon
only gets covered by part of the Earth's
umbra so only part of it is shaded in
darkness by the earth a partial eclipse
happens at least twice a year and then
there's the big one the total lunar
eclipse these are rare often separated
by years and require the Moon Earth and
Sun to be in perfect alignment but don't
think this blacks out the moon as the
moon shifts deeper into the Umbra it
takes on a red Hue which is sometimes
called a Blood Moon the Moon turns red
because the atmosphere is filtering out
color at the opposite end of the visible
spectrum the blue light the
shortwavelengths of blue don't travel as
far as the long red wavelength so they
scatter before reaching our eyes leaving
behind the red glow not everyone on
Earth can see a lunar eclipse at the
same time you'll need to be in an area
facing the moon during the moments it
shaded by Earth unlike a solar eclipse
you don't need any special equipment to
enjoy a lunar eclipse they're safe to
watch at any stage although a pair of
binoculars might make it more fun
this week 2022 had the second full lunar
eclipse of the year on Tuesday the moon
turned a coppery shade of red also known
as a Blood Moon this happened when the
entire moon was in the earth's Shadow
check out this stunning imagery by the
way the next total Lunar Eclipse won't
happen until March 14th of 2025. be sure
to mark your calendars unlike a solar
eclipse a lunar eclipse can be enjoyed
from anywhere in the world that the Moon
is present during the night all right we
have an extra mini quiz for you today
environmentalists are battling a
dangerous and invasive species in the
waters of the Gulf of Mexico upsetting
the balance of the ecosystem there any
guesses maybe it's a type of shark no
it's not maybe jellyfish nope not it
either a type of algae no humans no it's
actually something you may have seen
swimming in an aquarium we're talking
about lionfish they're taking over but
experts may have developed a system to
help contain the lionfish population and
in turn created an opportunity for local
restaurants and your belly
these Eco Warriors are heading into an
unusual battle
the enemy a dangerous and invasive
species that is destroying the local
habitat it's caused a pretty major
problem here in the western Atlantic
Waters leading the charge is Alex Fogg a
marine biologist and conservationist for
Destin Fort Walton Beach in the Florida
Panhandle he's known as the lionfish guy
around these parts lionfish is such a
passion to what I do in my everyday life
foreign fish are native to the South
Pacific and Indian Ocean they were first
detected along the Florida coast in the
mid-1980s more than 10 000 miles from
home there's a lot of theories exactly
how they came to be but most likely
option was that uh lionfish were in the
aquarium trade and ended up being
released by a pet owner over the years
the population has multiplied and is
wreaking havoc if you put something into
the ecosystem that's not supposed to be
there and they're eating the same food
as some of your native species there's
competition there where there's grazers
like your parrot fish if lionfish are
preying on parrotfish those parrotfish
are no longer keeping the reefs clean
and a lot of times the algae can
overtake the reef and cause a bunch of
coral death
to make matters worse lionfish have no
predators in these Western Waters it
comes down to something else besides
predators to take charge and keep these
fish under control and that's US divers
there may be fishermen out there that
would have never really considered
themselves conservationists but this is
something where they can go diving they
can go Harvest a fish and help the
ecosystem in the process
they have to be careful though those
spines along their back and sides
they're venomous you're not gonna die
but you may you may shed a tear or two
to keep their hands safe divers use a
long spear to catch the lionfish and a
Contraption called a zookeeper contain
them it's essentially a plastic tube
that allows you to put the lionfish into
it and prevents the spines from poking
out and potentially stinging you you
want to make sure that you're not going
to get stung
the good news lionfish happen to taste
good and have become somewhat of a
delicacy in upscale restaurants along
the coast like GW Fins in New Orleans
where this has become a story of etom to
beat him
the restaurant Works directly with the
spear fishermen who Supply their
lionfish it's good for business and good
for the environment crucially their
methods avoid bycatch and Target the
enemy when you run a net through the
water you really never know exactly what
you're pulling up when it comes to these
spear fishermen they are only harvesting
exactly the fish that we're looking for
and nothing else sourcing is probably
the most important thing we do to make
sure we know who when where and how
Oliver Fish was caught understanding why
is important too if the lionfish
population spirals out of control it
could eat many of the species the
restroom is used to having on its menu
really the only way to
incentivize people to get out there and
eradicate these and catch as many they
can is to create a demand in a market
form then boom you know you'll have a
lot more people out there hunting for
lionfish the goal is to control the
lionfish population not eliminate it so
lionfish will really always be here it's
just where they're going to find their
place in that in the ecosystem and in
the food web
and for today's 10 out of 10 a new study
says that octopuses like to throw things
at each other when they're irritated
check this out researchers in the new
study released Wednesday observe 10
octopuses in Jervis Bay Australia
typically solitary creatures the
octopuses here live in super tight
quarters because of the abundance of
food there and the close proximity of
their dens scientists said that the
octopuses appeared to deliberately
launch silt and even shells at nearby
neighbors by using a jet of water from a
funnel at the front of their bodies if
intentional these octopuses would join a
very few number of other species known
to throw things at each other including
of course humans now we want to thank
all of you who are throwing us some love
on our CNN 10 YouTube channel we're
going to throw it right back at you
special shout out now to Medicine Crow
Middle School in Billings Montana
leaving you now with a Thursday thought
in 2019 a blind High School wrestler
named Jay Spence became Alabama state
champ moments after stepping off the mat
exhausted in Victory Jay said Don't let
what anyone thinks about you change how
you think as long as you believe you can
do something then you can I'm koi and
