![ECLIPSE. A solar eclipse is a rare event in which the moon is between Earth and the Sun, blocking the view of the sun. In other parts of the United States, the view of the Sun will be totally blocked, constituting whats called a total eclipse. A total eclipse is a completely different event that is another level of coolness. So if they [the students] have that chance, they should absolutely take the chance to see a total eclipse if they ever can. The next one in Minnesota will be the year 2099, Astronomy and Planetary Science teacher Joseph Martin said.](https://www.rubiconline.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Drawing-8.sketchpad.png)

Girls Basketball has mixed success against Blake
Girls Varsity Basketball played The Blake School Bears last night at home and lost 53-40. It was one of their harder games of the season. GVB scored 32 of their 40 total points during the second half while the bears had an equal number of points in the first and the second. The team played substantially better in the second half with strong playing from Seniors Erin Mcnamer, Izzy Denny, Emily Carter, and Hannah Scott. Mcnamer had at least four three pointers and Junior Audrey Egly got a couple of layups. At one point during the second half, the score was within seven points with the help of a surprisingly large (and rowdy) fan section. Sports fans and RubicOnline editors, Jake Adams and Peter Blanchfield, brought their “Dilly Dilly”, “It’s time to go on a bear hunt”, and “Awww Nuts” signs.

![HANDS, FEET AND MIND READY. I get inspired by just how far Ive come. Due to past injuries like knee arthritis, it was a struggle to even move my body and stuff. [After recovery,] it’s almost like ‘Okay, you actually can move your body now. Lets move it.’ So being able to build up my strength again motivates me, senior Delaney Devine said. Devine is in another injury at the moment, but she hope to get back into boxing once she recovers.

![RECOVERY. Besides resting physical therapy is crucial in the road of recovery. Sophomore Sona Jain, who tore her ACL, said, I always thought about what I need to accomplish first.
