"textContent": "As the Moon swallowed the Sun during the April 8, 2024, total solar eclipse, something remarkable happened on the ground—cities went eerily quiet. Scientists analyzing seismic data found that human-generated vibrations, usually caused by traffic, construction, and daily activity, dropped sharply during totality. The effect was so pronounced that it created a clear “seismic hush” across urban areas directly in the eclipse’s path, before quickly rebounding afterward.",
