Sea snakes give birth in the ocean to an average of 2â9 young, but as many as 34 may be born. The 54 species in subfamily Hydrophiinae belong to 16 different genera. The six species of sea kraits (genus Laticauda) are not as specialized for aquatic life as the true sea snakes.
The August 2017 eclipse will be the first with a path of totality crossing the USA's Pacific coast and Atlantic coast since 1918. Also, its path of totality makes landfall exclusively within the United States, making it the first such eclipse since the country's independence in 1776.
The phases observed during a total eclipse are called: 1  First contactâwhen the Moon's limb (edge) is exactly tangential to the Sun's limb. 2  Diamond Ring effect as the Moon exits the path of totality. 3  Totalityâthe Moon obscures the entire disk of the Sun and only the solar corona is visible.
