[Music] hey everyone I'm KY wire back with you for another awesome day of CNN 10 thanks for all of your vocabulary word submissions on my social media accounts it's #y your word Wednesday so keep an ear out to see if your word helped us write Today's Show we're going to start today with the race for the White House we're headed to Chicago for a check-in on the Democratic National Convention happening there this week President Joe Biden was greeted with a lengthy Standing Ovation on the first night of the DNC telling the Democrat attendees I gave my best to you as he made the case for the party's new nominee current vice president kamla Harris made a lot of mistakes in my career but I gave my best to you for 50 years like many of you give my heart and sold to our nation vice president Harris thanked Biden for his historic leadership former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also spoke she voiced the significance of the occasion for women additional speakers for the convention include former president Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama meanwhile outside the DNC thousands took to the street to protest the war in the Middle East calling for a ceasefire dozens of protesters even broke through a security f EV on the Republican side former president Donald Trump and his vice presidential candidate JD Vance are campaigning in Battleground States holding rallies and putting out messaging online and on television about their campaign since Republicans held their convention last month before Harrison walls joined the race Trump is now campaigning against a new Democratic Duo another story we're watching the US government has found that Iran was behind a hack and Le operation targeting Donald Trump's presidential campaign this came after news outlets reported getting documents that seem to come from a senior Trump campaign official's account the hackers also attempted to go after the Harris campaign but they didn't succeed in their attempts us officials believe the investigation is a clear sign that Iran and other countries are trying to influence the 20124 presidential election however Iran rejected this calling the claims unsubstantiated 10-second trivia according to astronomers how many moons does Jupiter have 1 2 3 or 95 the current count is 95 confirmed Moons for Jupiter including the largest moon in our solar system gmed which is larger than the planet Mercury scientists have been studying Jupiter's moons for decades sending probes to peruse them since the 1970s after discovering some of these moons have actual oceans under their icy surfaces the European space agency and NASA want to know can these celestial bodies support life well the juice Mission named after the Jupiter icy moons Explorer spacecraft is going to use some pretty cool physics to perform the first double gravity assist maneuver this week the spacecraft will use Earth's gravity to slingshot towards a Venus fly by in 2025 and putting it on track to scope out Jupiter and its moons by July of 2031 Jupiter has three moons with oceans underneath their icy shells they're called ganim Kalisto and Europa earthlings have been curious about these moons and their potential to house life for a long time NASA first sent probes in part to get a closer look in 1977 Jupiter is a gas giant that means it doesn't have a surface it's a swirl of gases that condense into a smoldering ocean of hydrogen at its core it's very similar to our sun in this way but unlike the sun it doesn't fuse hydrogen atoms into helium to create energy and heat now back to those first NASA probes they observed long lines and dark spots on the moon Europa typically moons have cratered surfaces but these images tip scientists off that there might be an ocean beneath europa's ice YY exterior in 1996 that theory was confirmed when the Galileo spacecraft reached Europa it was the first Ocean discovered on another planet then in 2012 and 2016 the Hubble Space Telescope showed water plumes erupting from the warmest parts of Europa scientists don't know much about the plumes but if Europa has water and elements like carbon and hydrogen it could mean that microbial life once formed there or even still exists new segment did you know that a 400 oun gold bar is now worth $1 million also if you had that same gold bar in the year 2000 it was worth about $100,000 gold is now worth $2500 per ounce and high gold prices can be a sign of economic uncertainty next in our cnn1 Olympian Series this week is Team USA gymnast Steve nasic his presence was seemingly ubiquitous on social media during the games after winning bronze on the pomah horse and propelling the US to its first team medal since 2008 he took the Internet by storm for his bold performance and beloved look battling eye conditions his entire life Steve wears glasses and he loves his nickname Clark Kent I caught up with Superman in Paris I kind of just wanted to be that guy who might have be a little bit nerdy but also really good at sports that's kind of all I wanted to be are you cool with this nickname Clark K totally cool I love it when you do pel horse you said that that you don't even need to see you take those glasses off walk me through that why yeah so like the thing about pal horse is like you're using your hands uh the whole time and the thing about Palm

by how it feels um so even when I'm sitting there visualizing before I go I'm literally walking through the motions firing the same muscles cuz like I know exactly how it feels every time oh so Elite athletes always talk about visualization how much time do you think you spend seeing something up here before you actually do it I get a certain amount of time so all those videos and memes with me sitting with my head back that I'm visualizing like my routine over and over and over again as well as doing sling breathing exercises he's not sleeping you're not I'm wide awake I'm processing everything that's fascinating which message out there to the to the little kids who might be dealing with an eye condition and maybe their hopes aren't as high because they don't think that they can perform at an elite level yeah well I mean I'm here I made it up to this point I think that anybody can do it as long as you have a dream and you're willing to put in the work to do it I think anyone can achieve it I know you are a really quirky dude and I say that in the most endearing way apprciate I think that's awesome what are some of your that your like maybe hidden talents or things that people might not know about you um well everyone knows about the Rubik's Cube at this point uh but I'm also like a, 1300 in chess which is like top 10% I'm proud of it all right I'm proud of that I
