hello sunshine rise up I'm koi wire this
is CNN 10 hope you're having an awesome
day let's get this show on the road and
get you your news graduation ceremonies
are underway across the United States
and at some universities these
celebrations are following clashes on
campuses over the war between Israel and
M over the past month a CNN review has
found that more than 2,000 people have
been arrested on college and university
campuses as a result schools are making
adjustments to their graduation
ceremonies some have cancelled or moved
their ceremonies While others have
increased security including police
barricades metal detectors and
additional law enforcement over the
weekend students at Virginia
Commonwealth University walked out as
Governor Glenn yunan delivered his
Commencement Address and the same
happened at Duke University for comedian
Jerry Seinfeld students carried
Palestinian flags and chanted free
Palestine at the University of Southern
California the school canceled its
commencement speech it was set to be
delivered by Anna tabasum the school's
Muslim valedictorian the school cited
safety concerns as the reason for the
cancellation USC later cancelled the
entire commencement during a smaller
ceremony on Friday morning tabasum
received a standing ovation from her
classmates CNN's Camila Bernal is on the
USC campus with the latest from around
the
country there are so many students that
are frustrated right now no matter what
side of the conflict you are on it was a
celebration but it wasn't a traditional
commencement it's a a joke that's going
around our class uh it's kind of funny
but it's kind of sad our last normal
graduation was 8th grade much of the
class of 20 24 impacted by the pandemic
in high school and I barely had a
graduation uh it was you know 6 ft apart
Mass couldn't have guests beyond your
immediate family so it was not normal
and now college graduation also not
normal for Logan Bar and many others
graduating this
year a number of colleges and
universities around the country changing
adjusting or even cancelling
commencement ceremonies citing safety
concerns after campus
protests at Columbia University the
school says they decided to make class
days and school level ceremonies the
centerpiece of
commencement and a similar Focus across
the country at USC the university said
the intensity of feelings fueled by both
social media and the ongoing conflict in
the Middle East created substantial
risks relating to security and
disruption at commencement they handled
it correctly by closing the campus and
by cleaning calling police to clean the
encampment and arresting some people and
they were trying to avoid this
congrat at the University of Michigan in
an arbor Pro Palestinian protesters
briefly disrupted the University's
Commencement ceremony I think I was less
concerned with the protest and the
encampment impacting graduation I I was
more disappointed in the University's
response to everything and how they
handled
things at USC graduation events went on
without any apparent disruption but it
still wasn't what many hoped for or
expected it definitely would have been
nice to have like a traditional
commencement ceremony especially for a
class who was already impacted four
years ago and in terms of protests we
did see at least a dozen students
walking out of Virginia commonwealths
University commencement event this was
after the governor of Virginia began his
address to students here in California
at UC Berkeley the commencement ceremony
briefly stopped after protests and
chanting and the dean of students
telling those protesters to leave and
saying that they could speak to her
after the event eventually these
protesters did leave voluntarily and no
one was arrested of course that's the
type of thing that universities like USC
that cancelled their main commencement
ceremony wanted to avoid what we saw
here was a focus in the school
graduations that happened from Wednesday
all the way up until
Saturday 10-second trivia solar flares
happen on the surface of the sun when
what is released heat energy stored
magnetic energy cool energy or
geothermal
energy if you says stored magnetic
energy then go on and bask in a sunny
glow because you are correct a solar
flare is a massive explosion on the Sun
that happens when stored magnetic energy
is suddenly released check out these
incredible scenes from this weekend's
Northern Lights this extrodinary
phenomenon lit up the sky with dancing
Hues of green purple sometimes pink and
it's expected to continue this week the
official term for these lights is Aurora
Borealis they're named after the Roman
goddess of dawn Aurora and the Greek god
of the north wind Bas but most people
just call them Northern Lights so how
are they formed here's CNN's Kristen
fiser with the cosmic science behind it
all it's called a coronal mass ejection
and those highly charged particles have
been barreling towards Earth at 500 m
per second ever since the first
particles began striking Earth's
magnetic field Friday afternoon just
think of gazillions of protons coming
toward Earth at the same time there's
also electrons in there there's also
magnetic fields and when they hit the
Earth's magnetic field or any other
planet's magnetic field they interact
with that field and those changes
generate currents which can damage power
grids satellites anything that has an
electrical conductor involved the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration is describing this storm
as an extraordinary and very rare event
one that also has them a little
concerned the biggest threats are to
satellites and to Global power grids
Noah says it notified critical
infrastructure operators and that
mitigation effort have been taken but
it's still warning of possible
widespread voltage control problems the
last time we had a big power outage due
to a geomagnetic storm was in the 80s uh
have we fixed things since then we're
going to find out satellites will also
be tested most can go into a safe mode
during a solar storm but just two years
ago SpaceX lost 40 of its starlink
internet satellites during a geomagnetic
storm that wasn't as strong as this one
and then there's the threat to people in
space this is Jamestown actual to all
astronauts we've got a solar storm
coming in and it's a hot one Apple TVs
For All Mankind envisioned astronauts on
the moon running for cover to dodge the
incoming radiation during a strong solar
storm in reality it's the astronauts
currently on board the International
Space Station that may need to shelter
in more protected portions of the
orbiting Outpost space radiation is a
known phenomenon that is dangerous to
biology whether is during a magnetic
storm or just a general trist into outer
space but despite the potential danger a
solar storm also rewards us with some of
the most spectacular auroras and this
time over a wider area extending as far
south as Alabama the beauty of a nice
coronal mass ejection is that we get to
have an astronomical event basically
come to us from space that's visible to
the naked eye we all just recently
experienced this with the total solar
eclipse that happened in April so now
seeing the the the northern lights that
is another extraordinary astronomical
event Kristen Fischer CNN

Washington now for today's story getting
a 10 out of 10 when these homeowners
purchased their Los Angeles County crib
little did they know that their pool
came with some fabulous friends Maddie
and her two Cubs stop by several times a
week to take a dip and apparently the
Cubs are not a fan of the Unicorn floaty
they've torn up several pool toys while
playing but minor damage is bearable
once you pause and reflect on the
entertainment value they check to see if
anything's cooking from time to time
they might go for a climb on a big tree
or just use it as a good old back
scratcher wonder how much they'll like
the new pool toy they're getting well
done
unbelievable all right right sunshine we
have a shout out from McLure Middle
School in Kennesaw Georgia today Mr K's
class you rock finish this school year
strong Mavericks and this shout out goes
to St Thomas aquinus High School in Fort
Lauderdale Florida we see you thanks for
making the 10 part of your day rise up
see it dream it believe it and make it
happen y'all I'm Koy and we are CNN 10
