Watch: Southern Lights timelapse filmed from space
A spectacular Southern Lights display has been captured on camera from space.
Nasa astronaut Jessica Meir filmed the timelapse from onboard the SpaceX Dragon shuttle.
The Southern Lights are just as common as the Northern Lights, and regularly take place over Antarctica, but relatively few people live in latitudes close to the South Pole, so they are not as well-known as their northern counterpart.
These lights occur near the poles because Earth's magnetic field channels charged particles from the Sun toward those regions, where they collide with the atmosphere and create shimmering waves of colour.

Admitted serial rapist and former National Football League champion Darren Sharper has been transferred from federal prison to a halfway house program with his projected 2028 release date nearing.
In a statement to the Guardian on Monday, a US Bureau of Prisons (BoP) spokesperson said Sharper, 50, was transferred on 27 May from a federal correctional institution near Elkton, Ohio, to “community confinement” overseen by the agency’s residential re-entry management office in Baltimore.
The spokesperson said the transfer in Sharper’s case means he is either in home confinement or living at a residential re-entry center, a kind of facility colloquially known as a halfway house.
Details about exactly where Sharper was transferred were not immediately available. The BoP has previously said it does not disclose the specific locations of people in community confinement for privacy, safety and security reasons.........................
Livid Backlash As MAGA Officials Blame Biden For Screwworm: 'Did He Build A Time Machine?'

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins and Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) sparked widespread mockery Monday after both appeared on Newsmax to blame former President Joe Biden for the screwworm emergency now threatening Texas cattle — despite the Trump administration's own cuts to the very monitoring programs designed to stop the parasite.
Rollins, who oversees the federal response to the first confirmed U.S. screwworm infestation in decades, pointed the finger squarely at her predecessor. "I do think it's important to note that under the last administration, with the massive movement under the open borders policy, the cartels, et cetera, border security — that's when it began to make its way back up toward America," she said, adding that when she took office in February 2025, "obviously not much had been done to push back."
Marshall, a Kansas Republican who sits on the Senate Agriculture Committee, went further. "This is another thing we can thank Joe Biden for," he said, claiming migrants who crossed the southern border "brought this screwworm with them." ..............
...............
There's also a timeline problem with the blame on Biden. The Biden administration closed ports of entry to cattle from Mexico in November 2024. It was the Trump administration that reopened them in February 2025 — only to shut them down again in May 2025. ..................

Dear @SecRollins
: You lie. The average life cycle of a Screwworm ranges from 14 to 54 days depending on temperature and humidity.
The trump Administration has been in office over 500 days.
If you can’t accept responsibility, or even apologize for messing up, you need to resign.

.....since the start of the full-scale invasion, russia has lost at least 19 generals, including 14 active-duty ones.
I do not know how accurate this is--but every so often I do read about some
high ranking Military person having a fatal accident these last few years.
So-called russian media report another russian lieutenant general eliminated in Balashikha.
Just a reminder: since the start of the full-scale invasion, russia has lost at least 19 generals, including 14 active-duty ones.

🇺🇦 Russian soldiers surrendered with the help of a Ukrainian drone
The POWs said their commanders were sending them into suicide assaults and threatening to "zero them out" if they refused. 
At their position, they found a leaflet with instructions on how to surrender, laid down their weapons, and waited for a Ukrainian drone, which guided them safely away from the front line.
Now they are urging other Russians not to sign military contracts, avoid the war, and, if already at the front, surrender.
“If you see one of these leaflets, follow the instructions. Everything will be fine — a drone will come, guide you out safely, and you'll be welcomed and given water,” one of the soldiers said.

Iran's World Cup players wear pins for victims of deadly strike on school as they arrive in Mexico

TIJUANA, Mexico (AP) — Iran’s World Cup team arrived in Mexico wearing lapel pins....
The players wore gold-colored pins with the number “168” on their jackets when getting off their plane Sunday in Tijuana, Mexico. It referred to the people killed, most of them children, when a Feb. 28 strike, likely launched by the U.S., hit the school in Minab in southern Iran.
The strike on the school, which was close to a Revolutionary Guard base, was previously memorialized by the Iran team before a warmup game in March in Antalya, Turkey. Players held up pink and purple school backpacks while their national anthem played.
Neither the United States nor Israel has accepted responsibility for the attack on the school, which has come under staunch criticism from the United Nations and human rights groups...
The Iran delegation flew on a private jet from Antalya on Saturday to Tijuana, after a late change of plans two weeks ago to use Mexico as a training base instead of Tucson, Arizona..................
