After 20 years, iPods are officially becoming a thing of the past.
Apple announced it is discontinuing the iPod Touch, the last version of the portable music player the company still sells. Originally introduced in 2001 as an “Ultra-Portable MP3 Music Player Puts 1,000 Songs in Your Pocket,” iPods became a smash hit, ushering in a new era of music with its sleek design and enabling users to buy songs for 99 cents. Though the iPod Nano and Shuffle were taken off shelves in 2017, the last iteration of the iPod Touch will be available for $199 while supplies last.

The moon will plunge into darkness this weekend.
Just as the sun sets over North America on Sunday evening, the sun, Earth and moon will begin to align to create a total lunar eclipse.
A total lunar eclipse is sometimes called a "Blood Moon" because the moon often appears to turn dark red at the height of the eclipse.
The eerie shift in color is not due to a transformation of the moon during the astronomical alignment, but rather a change in the light reflecting off the moon.
The entire eclipse will be over five hours long, starting at 9:32 p.m. EDT on Sunday, May 15, and lasting until 2:50 a.m. EDT on Monday, May 16.
However, the total phase of the eclipse, when the moon changes color, will last only about an hour and a half, starting at 11:29 p.m. EDT and ending at 12:53 a.m. EDT. The middle of the eclipse will be the best time to look at the moon and will occur at 12:11 a.m. EDT.

As a news reporter, you never know what you'll have to put up with behind you, one reporter was getting ready for his stand up when out of a car someone shouted "Hi Baby." It was his mom. She blew him a kiss and then pulled off. Funny thing was, he was doing a story on Mother's Day.
