Get ready for a spectacular light show tonight as geomagnetic storms bring the northern lights closer to unexpected locations. The northern lights, or aurora borealis, are expected to put on a stunning display across several U.S. states tonight, thanks to geomagnetic storms that are disrupting Earth’s magnetic field. These solar-driven storms, forecasted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), will bring the auroras closer to areas typically outside their usual range. This rare opportunity offers a chance for skywatchers in unexpected locations to witness one of nature’s most mesmerizing phenomena. Where Will the Northern Lights Be Visible? According to...

According to the experts at NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center, two coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are en route to Earth, and they could be bringing a glowing gift: a potential auroral display reaching farther south than usual—possibly lighting up skies over parts of the northern U.S., like New York and Idaho. This space weather alert is tied to a rare solar double feature: two magnetic filament eruptions that launched CMEs from the Sun over the weekend. If both CMEs arrive on Earth close together, as forecast, we could be looking at G2-class (moderate) geomagnetic storm conditions on Wednesday. ... According...

NEW: ICE confirms to @FoxNews that they arrested Jeanette Vizguerra, a convicted criminal Mexican illegal alien & immigration activist, in Aurora, CO yesterday. ICE confirms she has a final order of removal (deportation order) via a DOJ immigration judge, and has repeatedly had due process, including multiple stays of deportation. She notoriously hid in a Denver church for years to avoid deportation, and she has remained an immigration fugitive. Despite having a final order of removal stretching back to the Obama administration, several Democrat politicians in Colorado falsely claimed today that Vizguerra has had no due process, including Denver Mayor...

Explanation: Is this the largest hummingbird ever? Although it may look like a popular fluttering nectarivore, what is pictured is actually a beautifully detailed and colorful aurora, complete with rays reminiscent of feathers. This aurora was so bright that it was visible to the unaided eye during blue hour -- just after sunset when the sky appears a darkening blue. However, the aurora only looked like a hummingbird through a sensitive camera able to pick up faint glows. As reds typically occurring higher in the Earth's atmosphere than the greens, the real 3D shape of this aurora would likely appear...

Aurora Colorado has been in the news again, as ICE begins to perform raids at several apartment complexes through out the Denver Metro Area that has been invaded by Venezuelans and gangs. Protests in favor of illegal immigration continue in Phoenix Arizona and Los Angeles. This is my opinion on the topic! "...and in trying to prove that point they bring the danger to our country and attack other people on the the street and maybe that's the reason why so many Americans are happy to see them go..."

Border Czar Tom Homan: “We’ve already identified how this operation got leaked.

Six men were handcuffed and taken away, according to on-the-ground sources. In recent days, ICE...

As we’ve been reporting, President Donald Trump, new Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and border czar Tom Homan have unleashed the forces of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, and agents have been busy rounding up illegal aliens—including many hardened criminals—and repatriating them to their home countries. Although the left is crying over the lawful treatment of our “friends and neighbors,” many of the folks they’ve nabbed are the last people you’d want living next door to you. Among those captured was a vicious ringleader of the Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua, which has spread to at least...

A violent Tren de Aragua ringleader wanted over the viral, caught-on-camera break-in in Aurora, Colorado was among the illegal immigrants rounded up in deportation raids in New York City Tuesday, law enforcement sources told The Post.

The gangbanger, who sources described as a ringleader of the vicious Venezuelan prison gang, had a warrant out for a slew of charges — including kidnapping, burglary and menacing. Zambrano-Pacheco was allegedly among the...

Remember back in the fall when ABC did its best to make Donald Trump and JD Vance out to be liars when they said the Venezuelan gang members were causing problems in Colorado? It started during the presidential debate and continued on ABC's "This Week" when Martha Raddatz tried to school Vance on the topic, leading to his viral, "Martha, do you hear yourself?" moment. Well, it's looking more and more like ABC was wrong and the president and vice president were right. (Shocking, I know.) On Sunday, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Rocky Mountain Field Division, along with help...

The states that will likely see the natural light phenomenon, known as the Aurora Borealis, are Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Michigan, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, a Kp index of four on a scale of nine was forecasted for Saturday night. That number signifies that the northern lights will be “quite pleasing to look at” since they will be brighter, and come with more motion and formation. The Aurora Borealis — which occurs from an interaction of solar wind and the Earth’s magnetic field —...

The internal communications were citing federal intelligence reports. “Intelligence from ICE is that TdA has decided to make Denver their headquarters in the U.S. and will be violent toward anyone who encroaches on their territory,” one police bulletin from October 2023 said. The reason? Denver’s status as a sanctuary city. In response to questions from The Denver Gazette, the Denver Police Department said it was aware of a tip regarding the “possibility” of...
