Northern Lights to Spice Up 'Micromoon' Tonight:
Northern Lights to Spice Up 'Micromoon' Tonight: Tonight, a rare combination of two celestial phenomena—a shimmering display of the Northern Lights and a subtly enchanting micromoon—will dazzle the night sky. What's going on? A micromoon, a full moon that occurs when the Moon is at or close to its farthest point from Earth in its orbit, will be visible in the night sky on April 12. This makes it appear slightly smaller and dimmer than a typical full moon—hence the name “micro.” But what's the real twist? A geomagnetic storm is expected to trigger vibrant auroras—commonly known as the Northern Lights—across unusually wide parts of the Northern Hemisphere. That means regions farther south than usual may get a rare glimpse of the auroras glowing alongside the delicate micromoon. What exactly is a micromoon? A micromoon is the opposite of a supermoon. While a supermoon appears up to 14% larger and 30% brighter due to the Moon's close proximity to Earth, a micromoon appears slightly smaller and fainter. Although the effect on the night sky is softer and more ethereal, this difference may not be immediately apparent to casual observers. Why the Northern Lights Tonight? Recently, solar activity has increased, and a coronal mass ejection (CME) from the Sun is anticipated to come into contact with Earth's magnetic field tonight. The aurora borealis, which are brilliant, rippling curtains of green, pink, and violet light, are the result of that collision energizing particles in our atmosphere. Forecasts suggest that tonight’s aurora could be visible farther south than usual—possibly as far south as the northern U.S., parts of the UK, and central Europe, depending on weather conditions. How to Watch Time: Peak visibility for the Northern Lights will be from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. local time, but it may vary by location. Location: Get away from city lights! Dark, rural areas with a clear northern horizon are best. Weather: Clear skies are essential, so check your local forecast for cloud cover. Equipment: You don’t need a telescope to enjoy either the aurora or the micromoon, but a good camera with manual settings can help capture the magic. Final Advice Dress warm, bring a blanket or a reclining chair, and give your eyes time to adjust to the dark. Whether you're in it for the science or the spectacle, tonight’s sky promises a rare and peaceful kind of wonder.

Felt like a 20-minute earthquake: Delhi-NCR residents left shaken after sudden dust storm
New Delhi, April 12 — A sudden and intense dust storm swept across the Delhi-NCR region late Friday evening, leaving residents startled and the city blanketed in a cloud of dust and debris. The out-of-the-blue weather phenomenon, which lasted about 20 minutes, reduced visibility significantly, uprooted trees, and disrupted power in several locations. Ritesh Malhotra, a Noida resident, said, "It felt like a 20-minute earthquake." He described how windows rattled and things fell inside as strong winds howled outside. Videos depicting dramatic scenes of swaying electric poles, flying debris, and people caught off guard by the storm soon flooded social media. The sudden dust storm was brought on by a combination of high surface temperatures and strong westerly winds, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). Wind gusts of up to 70 kilometers per hour were recorded in parts of Delhi and Gurgaon. Although the IMD had previously issued a yellow alert for the region warning of light rain and gusty winds, the severity of the storm surprised many. Power outages were reported in a number of neighborhoods as a result of damaged overhead cables and fallen trees. On important roads like the Ring Road and NH-48, traffic was disrupted, and Metro services experienced brief delays as a result of operational safety checks. As minor injuries and property damage were reported from South Delhi, Dwarka, and Ghaziabad, emergency services were on high alert. Authorities advised residents to stay indoors and avoid parking vehicles under trees or unstable structures.

US Reacts as Tahawwur Rana Extradited to India:::----Scourge of Global Terrorism. AI-Generated.
The extradition of Tahawwur Rana, a key suspect in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, to India by the United States is a significant development in the global fight against terrorism. This is an important step in the right direction for the people who were hurt in the deadly siege that killed over 170 people and injured hundreds more. While India sought his extradition, Rana, a Canadian businessman of Pakistani descent, had been held in the United States for several years. He is alleged to have supported the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) operatives who carried out the attacks, including his childhood friend and now co-conspirator David Headley. Reacting to the extradition, U.S. officials reiterated their commitment to combating terrorism alongside global partners. "This extradition underscores the United States' unwavering stance against the scourge of global terrorism," stated a senior spokesperson for the State Department. We remain resolute in working with allies like India to ensure that justice is served, and those who support terror are held accountable.”
