SPRINGFIELD, IL — As news of the passing of beloved music legend Dolly Parton reverberated across America, tributes began pouring in from all over the country, including a touching memorial from a local man who said he would honor her by attempting to work all the way from 9 to 5.

LOS ANGELES, CA — Officials for the Women's National Basketball Association announced this week they have received a letter of intent from Bugs Bunny to enter the draft.

A striking red aurora may be visible to some skywatchers alongside tomorrow night's blood-red partial lunar eclipse, astronomers say.The full moon is expected to slide into Earth's shadow tomorrow night (Aug. 27-28), casting an eerie red glow over 96% of the lunar surface. At the same time, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has issued a moderate (G2) geomagnetic storm warning for 9:03 p.m. EDT (1303 GMT) Thursday night (Aug. 27) — 20 minutes before the eclipse starts. According to NOAA, the resulting auroras may be visible over several states, ranging from New York to Idaho. However, skywatchers farther north have better odds of catching both spectacular sights together."Though it's unlikely the moon and aurora would occupy the same part of the sky, observers in Canada and Alaska have the best chance to see them together," Tom Kerss, an astronomer and co-author of the "Little Book of Eclipses: An essential companion to solar and lunar events" (Octopus Publishing Group, 2026), told Live Science. "The further west you are, the lower the moon will be in the East during the deepest part of the eclipse, where it may overlap with the brightest region of the auroral oval."The aurora borealis, also known as the northern lights, is an atmospheric phenomenon caused by the solar wind ‪—‬ clouds of electrically charged particles spewed from the sun. Most of these particles are deflected by the geomagnetic shield that surrounds our planet, but some get swept into Earth's magnetic field and channeled toward the planet's poles.Once there, the particles collide with atoms and molecules in the atmosphere, causing them to heat up and glow and producing the mesmerizing light show we know as the northern lights. The intensity of these lights depends on the strength of the solar wind that hits our planet. Yesterday (Aug. 25), a powerful M-class solar flare — the second-strongest class of solar flare — flashed from a restless sunspot called 4513, according to Live Science's sister website Space.com. This was followed by a large ejection of solar plasma known as a coronal mass ejection.This cloud of electrified, magnetic gas is expected to reach our planet between Aug. 27 and 28, with NOAA forecasting moderate (G1 and G2) geomagnetic storm conditions from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. EDT on Aug. 27. Meanwhile, the lunar eclipse will begin at 9:23 p.m. EDT, peak just after midnight, and end around 3 a.m. EDT Friday (Aug. 28).The moon won't fall totally under Earth's shadow, so we can't officially call it a "blood moon," but it will be the deepest lunar eclipse anywhere in the world until the next total lunar eclipse on Dec. 31, 2028. This could allow for particularly unusual viewing conditions."Typically, a full moon competes with aurorae by brightening the sky, but when submerged in the Earth's shadow, it will be relatively dark, increasing the odds of spotting the northern lights," Kerss said.The contrasting green of the auroral bands and coppery-red surface of the moon should make for striking views on their own. But with G2-class geomagnetic storms on the horizon, some viewers may catch a glimpse of an even rarer sight.

The colors of the northern lights are influenced by the different gases in Earth's atmosphere — primarily nitrogen and oxygen — and where these gases sit in the atmosphere, according to NASA. At lower altitudes, for example, oxygen usually glows green. However, during more intense geomagnetic storms, an aurora may reach oxygen particles high in our planet's atmosphere. At these altitudes, above 120 miles (200 kilometers), oxygen glows red. Meanwhile, the moon appears coppery red due to the way Earth's atmosphere bends and absorbs light. Sunlight comprises a spectrum of colors, and the blue and yellow parts of this spectrum are absorbed by the atmosphere. However, red light gets bent, or refracted, by Earth's atmosphere, which directs it toward the moon and lights up our rocky satellite like a blood-red flashlight beam, according to the European Space Agency.

The entertainment world is remembering Dolly Parton with tributes and stories of her kindness, humor, generosity, and enormous influence following her death at 80 on August 25. Musicians, actors, friends, and fans have shared memories of the country legend, revealing just how far her impact reached beyond the stage. According to The Guardian, among the most personal Dolly Parton tributes came from Billy Ray Cyrus, who shared a photo featuring Parton and his daughter Miley Cyrus, whom Parton famously called her goddaughter. Cyrus reflected on knowing Parton for decades and said he would always love her “with my whole heart.” The Stars Share Emotional Tributes To Dolly Parton Dolly Parton and Carl Dean were working on their dream home while in their smaller Tennessee house / © Netflix / Courtesy Everett Collection Cyrus recalled growing up watching Parton before eventually becoming her friend during his own rise to country stardom. One memory took him back to 1992, when tabloid rumors claimed the two singers were having an affair. Cyrus said he went to Parton’s dressing room to apologize for the unwanted attention, only for her to dismiss the drama with her trademark humor, joking that the gossip could help sell records.             View this post on Instagram                         A post shared by Billy Ray Cyrus (@billyraycyrus)   Their connection eventually extended to the next generation. Parton developed a close relationship with Miley, appeared alongside her on Hannah Montana, and performed with her over the years. Billy Ray said Parton had recently sent him a message telling him she loved him with her whole heart, making his farewell especially emotional following her death.

Taylor Swift praised Parton’s grace and strength, while Céline Dion remembered her joyful voice and generosity. Pitbull, Katy Perry, Gwen Stefani, and Tom Jones also shared tributes, as fans left flowers and messages at memorials tied to her life and career.   Dollywood remained open after her death, honoring Parton’s wish that it continue as a place of music, laughter, hope, and togetherness.

Your love, your music and you gave so much with your huge huge heart. There will never ever be another you. We will remember and cherish every memory and every note you ever played and sang. Thank you, Lord, for Dolly. She’s gonna have a blast in heaven singing all her favorite songs with all her family and friends who have gone on before her. I’ll never forget the first time I met you and I’ll never forget our last conversation. I hold it with love in my heart. I will always love you.”             View this post on Instagram                         A post shared by Reba McEntire (@reba)   The wave of Dolly Parton tributes reflects the unusually broad affection she inspired during her lifetime. Country stars remembered a friend and mentor, younger performers celebrated an inspiration, and ordinary fans mourned someone whose songs had been part of their lives for generations. For an entertainer who spent decades singing about love, perseverance, heartbreak, and home, the response feels fitting. Parton left behind far more than a catalog of timeless songs. Judging by the stories now being shared, she also left countless people with memories of how she made them feel.
