  In the earlier stages of this morning's sunrise eclipse, seen off Asbury Park, the sun was visible as two widely separated slivers that spectators likened to either a canoe low in the water, or the horns of the devil. (The Gazette of Really Small News)

  It's summer as usual at the Jersey Shore a day after New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy signed an executive order ending the COVID-19 public health emergency in place since March 9, 2020. This was the scene in Ocean Grove this morning as crowds, some still wearing face masks, flocked to the annual Spring Giant Flea Market, which continues until 4 p.m. Meanwhile, beachgoers found their place in the sun on Asbury Park's beach (below). Temperatures are expected to reach 90 inland and the low 80s along the coast.
