The shelter was damp, moldy, and lacked proper equipment. Children reported staying in the building during air raid alerts due to insufficient safety measures.

    Elon Musk's Wealth Plummets After SpaceX, Tesla Stock Drop

    Elon Musk, the world's richest person, has seen his fortune decrease by nearly half in six weeks, primarily due to the stock price drop of his companies SpaceX and Tesla. According to Bloomberg's Billionaires Index, Musk's net worth has fallen from $1.33 trillion to approximately $684 billion, making him no longer a trillionaire. This significant loss is attributed to heavy selling in both companies' shares following SpaceX's stock market debut last month.

    Spain to Witness Rare Total Solar Eclipse on August 12

    Spain will experience a total solar eclipse on August 12, a phenomenon that hasn't occurred in the Iberian Peninsula since 1912. This event will repeat next summer and won't happen again until 2053. Solar eclipses occur when the Moon passes in front of the Sun, blocking its light. They can be total, annular, or partial, depending on the observer's location. These events follow regular patterns, with 4 to 7 solar and lunar eclipses occurring each year. However, the visibility of a total solar eclipse from a specific location is less frequent, happening approximately every 400 years.
