What's up, sunshine?

I'm Koi Wire here with your CNN 10 minutes of news, where I simply tell you the what, letting you decide what to think.

Today is National Unity Day.

So, if you see people rocking some orange, know that it's a message of kindness, acceptance, and inclusion, and standing up when someone else is being put down.

We don't take any of that bullying stuff for ourselves or somebody else.

All right, all of you arerodiodite ones, let's get you your news.

Our lead story for the day is for all the aspiring astronomers, casual cosmologists, and studioious stargraers tonight.

Look up because one of the year's coolest celestial shows is reaching its peak.

The Orionit meteor shower is expected to peak between midnight and 2:00 a.m., though a waxing gibbus or nearly full moon could wash out some of the fainter meteors.

This shower typically produces between 10 and 20 meteors and fireballs per hour with debris entering our atmosphere at speeds of up to nearly 148,000 mph.

That's nearly 200 times faster than the speed of sound.

And this debris was left behind by Haley's comet.

Earth passes through Haley's dusty trail twice every year, creating the Orionids in October and the Ada Aquarids in May.

The famous Haley's comet itself hasn't visited us since 1986.

And because it takes roughly 76 years to orbit the sun, we'll have to mark our calendars for roughly the year 2061 for the Encore.

Now to a big story at the intersection of pro sports and medicine.

One of the NFL's biggest stars, Super Bowl MVP, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jaylen Herz, is expected to miss the rest of the season following a seriously scary diagnosis.

Doctors found a deep vein thrombosis or DVT, along with blood clots in both of his lungs.

A DVT is a clot that forms in a deep vein, often in the leg, and it's part of that clot breaks loose, it can travel through the bloodstream, lodge into the lungs.

That's called pulmonary embolism and it can be life-threatening because the blockage can prevent blood from picking up the oxygen our bodies need.

Herz is clinically stable and doctors expect him to make a full recovery, but he'll be taking blood thinners which means no contact football of course while he's being treated.

Our Meg Terrell has more.

>> This is something that happens to about 900,000 Americans every year and they're very dangerous.

It can cause 60 to 100,000 deaths each year in the US according to the CDC.

And so what happens is a deep vein thrombosis is a clot in a vein uh typically in the lower extremities but can also happen in the arms.

Uh and the concern is then that that clot travels up to the lungs, blocks an artery there and causes a pulmonary embolism which can be extremely dangerous.

And so typically the way these are treated are with anti-coagulants or blood thinners um often for at least three months.

And because blood thinners can raise the risk of serious bleeding, it's not recommended that people on them do contact sports, for example.

Um, now folks might be wondering what are the symptoms of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embisms if they do happen to so many people.

Um, and they do really require prompt medical treatment.

For a deep vein thrombosis, things like swelling, pain, and tenderness that aren't caused by injury, um, your skin's warm to touch, or redness, or discoloration.

These are things where you should alert a healthcare provider right away.

Um, just everyday things that we should all be aware of in terms of trying to prevent blood clots is if you're on a long plane ride or if you're on a long car trip, get up, get out of the car, walk around every couple hours.

Um, maintaining a healthy weight and not smoking.

All of those um, good pieces of advice for trying to avoid blood clots.

>> Pop quiz hot shot harbor seals muscles hold about 10 times as much of which oxygen storing protein as our own muscles?

hemoglobin, myoglobin, collagen or keratin.

If you said myoglobin, you get a seal of approval.

It is an oxygen binding protein in muscle tissue that stores oxygen and releases it when it's needed.

It allows harbish seals to stay underwater for many minutes while hunting or avoiding predators.

The Salish Sea, ever heard of it?

It's one of the world's largest and most biologically rich coastal ecosystems spanning from Washington state to British Columbia.

It's home to whales, seals, salmon, and hundreds of other species that sometimes face pressures from boat and ship traffic to climate change.

It's one of our CNN call to Earth Mission Blue hope spots.

Part of a global network of ecosystems deemed important to ocean health is supported by the Rolex Perpetual Planet Initiative.

CNN spent a week with Sea Life Response Rehabilitation and Research or SR3 to see how they're protecting the wonderful watery home of the wildlife.

These harbor seal pups may look like they're living their best lives, swimming, sleeping, and socializing, >> but they're actually patients at SR3, the only hospital dedicated to marine animals in the Pacific Northwest.

part.

>> SR3 treats wildlife ranging from seals and sea lions to turtles and porpuses, responding to animals in the field, and caring for them here at their facility.

So, we've got a lot of people in here getting things ready, making formula, preparing all of our fish to go out and feed our patients for the morning.

So, this is our area where patients are very fragile.

They're still getting lots of hands-on care.

So in the morning typically we'll do a walk through and just see how's everybody looking.

Looks alert and awake.

>> Summer is the busiest time for SR3.

It's peak popping season when sealed pups are born and that means more calls to their response hotline about abandoned or injured pups.

>> So often mom will abandon the pup simply because people are in the area.

Adult harbor seals are extremely skittish.

Because we've got over 8 million people living along the shorelines of the Salish Sea, there's the potential for a lot of human interaction.

Typically, for a harbor sail pup that has just been abandoned by mom, they'll stay about 3 months with us while they're really basically getting fat.

And occasionally those animals will have something like pneumonia or bite wounds or some other sort of injury that we're treating.

>> 52 and 53 are two new ones.

So, they'll be getting admit exams today.

So that'll include blood work, overall physical exam.

>> Everybody has a little round circle on their head, and that is what we affectionately call a hat tag, but it's just so we know who is who.

>> The goal is to return these animals healthy to their ocean home.

But until then, they get some creature comforts at SR3 to help them along the way.

>> They have these little pillows, and those are really just for comfort.

It's just something to have in there until they're able to mix and mingle with other seals.

It can be a very sterile environment compared to the dynamic ocean.

So, we actually add enrichment items for them to explore and use their senses and develop their skills that they'll need out in the ocean to survive.

>> Beyond the pillows and playtime, they have some work to do while they're here.

After they're done formula feeding, they're all enrolled in fish school.

>> As their teeth come in, and as their belly button closes up, we start introducing them to fish.

This is where stage one of fish school comes in where we're teaching them fish or food and this is good.

Takes a little while.

And then eventually we're using different things like tongs to feed them and separate ourselves from that process.

Eventually you get to just toss the fish into the pool and they go after it.

Typically they'll come in around 10 lbs and we want them at about 50 lbs before they're ready for release.

>> That is close to release weight.

And as more patients arrive, another is ready to return to the wild >> tomorrow.

After our morning feed and treatments, we'll get frittata loaded up to go back home.

Let's get her in the truck.

We are about to release one of our harbor seals that came into care this summer for Tata.

She spent 65 days in care.

Um, and her main focus while she was in care is just to gain weight and get healthy.

She's ready to go home.

Whenever you're ready, go ahead, open that door.

Despite all of the things that we're doing to it and near it, this is still a beautiful, healthy ecosystem and we need to protect that.

So, I think as much as humans may be problems at times, we're also the solutions.

>> Here she is.

Today's story getting a 10 out of 10 gives you butterflies literally.

A new exhibition dedicated to the magnificent monarch now open at New York's American Museum of Natural History.

Monarch's Journey is called explores the annual 3,000mi migration of monarch butterflies from the northern US and Canada to Mexico.

It could take up to two months, and some monarchs make that trip despite weighing less than a paperclip.

I thought my commute was rough.

The collection features illustrations from cartoonist and environmentalist Peter Cooper.

To really make your heart flutter, visitors can check out the Vivarium, an enclosed area for animals, critters, and plants simulating their natural environment.

There you can get up close with up to 80 different butterfly species from around the world.

Shout out to our your word Wednesday winners, Miss Val and friends at Megan David Academy in Panama City, Panama.

They submitted areriodite, an adjective describing someone or something that displays deep, polished, and academic wisdom.

Thanks for boosting our vocab today.

Our shout out is going to New York City, Miss Nicholas and the Seoia class at the Avenue School.

I see you, Maya.

Let's rise up today, shine from our small corner of the earth, and spark some joy.

I'm Koi Wire, and we are CNN 10.
