May 2021 lunar eclipse
An annular solar eclipse occured on June 10, 2021. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, covering the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is smaller than the Sun's, blocking most of the Sun's light and causing the Sun to look like a ring. An annular eclipse appears as a partial eclipse over a region of the Earth thousands of kilometres wide.
This eclipse is notable for the fact that the path of annularity passed over the North Pole, the only such eclipse in the 21st century.
While the eclipse is visible primarily in northern Canada, in Greenland and in north of Russian Far East, in the northeastern United States and Canada, the sun was partially eclipsed at sunrise, which will be between 5 and 6 A.M. (EDT)

He traveled by foot from China to India, visiting sacred Buddhist sites in Central , South and Southeast Asia between 399–412 to acquire Buddhist texts.

In 399, Faxian set out with nine others to locate sacred Buddhist texts. He visited India in the early fifth century. He is said to have walked all the way from China across the icy desert and rugged mountain passes. He entered India from the northwest and reached Pataliputra. He took back with him Buddhist texts and images sacred to Buddhism. He saw the ruins of the city when he reached Pataliputra.
Faxian's visit to India occurred during the reign of Chandragupta II. He is also renowned for his pilgrimage to Lumbini, the birthplace of Gautama Buddha (modern Nepal). However, he mentioned nothing about Guptas. Faxian claimed that demons and dragons were the original inhabitants of Sri Lanka.
After two years stay on Ceylon, Faxian was coming back to China. Suddenly a violent storm drove his ship onto an island, probably Java. After five months there, Faxian took another ship for southern China. But, again, it was blown off course and he ended up landing at Mount Lao in what is now Shandong in northern China, east of the city of Qingdao.

Great Purge
The Great Purge or the Great Terror (), was a campaign in the Soviet Union from 1936 to 1938.
It was a large-scale "repression" of the more wealthy peasants ("kulaks"). Ethnic minorities were murdered. Even members of the Communist Party, government officials, and the Red Army leadership were killed.
Everyone was watched by the police. Everyone was suspected. People were imprisoned without a fair trial. Executions were common. Historians think the total number of deaths due to Stalinist repression in 1937–38 was between 950,000 to 1.2 million.
The "Kulak Operation" and the targeting of national minorities made up the Great Terror. Together these two actions caused nine-tenths of the death sentences and three-fourths of Gulag prison camp sentences.
In the Western world, Robert Conquest's 1968 book "The Great Terror" popularized the phrase. Conquest's title was a reminder of the French Revolution time known as the Reign of Terror (French: "la Terreur", "the Terror"; from June to July 1794: "la Grande Terreur", 'the Great Terror').

Dyke (slang)
The term dyke is a slang term. It is used as a noun for lesbians. It is also used as an adjective for things related to lesbianism. It began as a homophobic and misogynistic term for a masculine or butch girl or woman.
The origin of the term "dyke" is obscure. Many theories have come out. Most theories tell that "dyke" comes off the word "bulldyke", which has a similar meaning.
From the mid-19th century to the early 20th century, "dike" had been American slang for the well-dressed man. "Diked out" and "out on the dike" meant a young man was in his best clothes.
The word "dyke" was used in the 1950s as a derogatory term for lesbians by straight people. But it was also used by lesbians of higher social status to mean crude and rough-bar lesbians.
Facebook censored use of the word "dyke" as "abusive content" in June 2017 on its website. The decision triggered a Change.org protest petition created by the "Listening 2 Lesbians" collective. It was signed by 7,247 supporters.

1988–89 North American drought
The 1988–89 North American drought was a weather problem that lasted two years. The drought began in 1988 in the Midwestern United States, High Plains and the Northeastern United States. A number of high pressure areas set themselves up over certain parts of these areas, stopping thunderstorms from developing.
During the spring of 1988, Milwaukee, Wisconsin had 55 days straight without any precipitation. In the summer, two record-setting heat waves developed, similar to 1934, 1936 and 1983. The constant heat waves led to as many as 17,000 deaths in the United States.
During the summer of 1988, the drought led to a number of wildfires in western North America. That included the Yellowstone fires of 1988.
At its peak, the drought covered 45% of the United States in 1988 alone. That's less area than the Dust Bowl, which covered 70% of the United States. But the Drought of 1988 caused $60 billion in damage. That not only is the most expensive drought in the history of the United States, it was the costliest natural disaster before Hurricane Katrina seventeen years later.
The drought destroyed crops nationwide. Lawns went brown. A number of cities ordered water restrictions.
More than four inches of helpful rain came to the Midwest through Hurricane Gilbert. The storm crossed Texas and Oklahoma as a tropical depression. It spread rain as far as the Great Lakes. Other locations, however, were at -6 or lower on the Palmer Drought Severity Index by early autumn 1988.
Dry conditions continued into 1989 and 1990, affecting Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, Illinois, Colorado, Kansas and Missouri.
The 1988–89 drought caused damage comparable to Hurricane Andrew in August 1992 and Hurricane Katrina in August 2005.
Menoetius (moon)
Menoetius is the only moon of the asteroid Trojan 617 Patroclus.
In 2001, scientists found that Patroclus is a binary system, made up of two asteroids of about the same size. It is one of 18 binary Trojan asteroids known to exist. In 2006, good measurements of the orbit from the Keck Laser guide star adaptive optics system were reported.
It was estimated that the two components orbit around their center of mass in days at a distance of in a roughly circular orbit. Combining these observations with thermal measurements taken in 2000, the sizes of the components of the system were estimated at 106 km and 98 km, with an equivalent whole-system diameter of 145 km, refined by later measurements from the Keck Observatory to approximately 122 km and 112 km for each partner, and a co-orbital period of hours ( days).
On 21 October 2013, both bodies occulted a magnitude 8.8 star as observed by a team of 41 observers stationed across the USA. Observation data put the orbital distance of 664.6 km, and give a size for the slightly larger component, which retains the name Patroclus with overall volume equivalent to a 113 km sphere, with the smaller component now named Menoetius with a volume equivalent to a 104 km diameter sphere.
