00:00 Good day, I am William Thio and this is PTV News Now.

00:04 A certain Japanese national is said to be behind the bomb threat at the DENR central

00:09 office in Visayas Avenue.

00:11 According to the Quezon City Police District, he was also responsible for the bomb threat

00:17 at the MRT Kamuning station in September of last year.

00:21 The bomb threat was reported at around 11.03 AM, wherein employees were asked to go home

00:27 and the afternoon shift was suspended.

00:30 After paneling operations and thorough inspections, results yielded negative and not a sign of

00:36 an improvised explosive device was found.

00:40 Meanwhile, Ukraine said it destroyed most of the 45 attack drones launched by Russia

00:45 overnight with little damage reported.

00:48 The announcement comes a day after authorities said seven were killed in a Russian attack

00:53 that set a patrol station ablaze in Ukraine's second biggest city, Kharkiv.

00:59 Aerial guided bombs targeted the villages of Vodyany and the Kharkiv region, killing

01:05 a 56-year-old woman.

01:08 Falling debris also lightly wounded a 39-year-old man.

01:11 The day before, the region had seen seven perish after a Russian drone attack hit a

01:16 patrol station, spilling burning fuel down the neighboring street.

01:23 Two titans of space travel team up to study our planet's health.

01:27 Plus, a Russian cosmonaut breaks the record for the most time in space, and sky gazers

01:33 in North America will get a treat in the coming months.

01:36 VOA's Arash Arabasady brings us the week in space.

01:49 We begin this week, as we often do, on a launch pad at Florida's Cape Canaveral.

01:54 It was private spaceflight company SpaceX joining forces with NASA to launch the newest

01:59 Earth-observing satellite.

02:01 Atop a Falcon 9 rocket sat the Plankton Aerosol Cloud Ocean Ecosystem Satellite, or PACE for

02:08 short.

02:09 From space, NASA says PACE will study microscopic life in water and microscopic particles in

02:14 the air.

02:15 It means scientists will be able to study the effects of climate change on phytoplankton,

02:20 the tiny organisms that scientists say produce some 50 percent of the oxygen we breathe.

02:26 SpaceflightNow reports the PACE launch marks the first U.S. government mission targeting

02:31 the Earth's poles after a failed launch in the 1960s rained down debris on Cuba.

02:38 Also this week, what began as another space launch for Russian cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko

02:43 became history-making as he broke the world record for most cumulative time spent in space.

02:49 At the time of this writing, the 59-year-old has spent more than 878 days and 12 hours

02:55 in space, beating the previous record by some 30 minutes and counting.

02:59 He's made five trips to the International Space Station, dating back to 2008.

03:05 His current trip began last September, and if all goes according to plan, Kononenko will

03:09 become the first person to accumulate 1,000 days in space by mission's end.

03:15 Finally this week, for the rest of us stranded on Earth, an upcoming treat for sky gazers

03:21 in North America, a total solar eclipse on April 8th.

03:25 It's very interesting that nowhere else in our solar system that we know of has the right

03:31 size moon to just block the exact surface of the Sun.

03:38 And that's just a very unique, you know, Earth is special.

03:43 During the eclipse, some 44 million people from Mexico to Newfoundland can see the moon

03:48 perfectly aligned between Earth and the Sun, turning day into night for nearly four and

03:53 a half minutes.

03:54 You'll need those special eclipse sunglasses to protect your eyesight.

03:58 If the moon were a bit closer, the event could last as long as seven and a half minutes.

04:03 The bad news for most of us alive today, that won't happen until 2150.

04:09 Arash Arbasati, VOA News.

04:14 Theo, stay informed, get ahead, get the news right here.

04:19 [Music]
