Putin has reportedly given his defense minister until early next month to stop Ukraine's counteroffensive. These demands could explain why Russia is launching relentless counterattacks even if they come at a steep cost to the Russian military. The general also claimed he was removed from his post after raising concerns about issues Russian forces were facing on the frontlines in Ukraine. Ukraine's counteroffensive has had slow progress as Kyiv's forces try to take back Russian-occupied land in the country's east. But recently, Ukrainian forces have pushed through some Russian defenses.

This next supermoon is also a harvest moon. Next Friday's supermoon is also this year's harvest moon, which is the full moon that occurs closest to the first day of autumn. It's called the harvest moon because it occurs around the time each year when farmers in the northern hemisphere are ready to harvest their crops. AdvertisementAdvertisementThe best time to see the harvest supermoon is at moonriseA full moon, also a harvest moon, rises past thunder clouds near Encinitas, California September 8, 2014.

India's moon rover and lander are set to wake up after a nearly month-long nap. For example, the moon rover confirmed the presence of sulphur in the lunar south pole region. India is the fourth country — after the US, Russia, and China — to land on the moon, and the first to ever land near the lunar south pole. AdvertisementAdvertisementThe lunar south pole region is of particular interest because it contains water ice. India's lunar lander and rover are the first to study the south pole region up-close and sample it directly.

Ex-Trump WH aide Cassidy Hutchinson claims that Giuliani groped her on the day of the Capitol riot.

"Mayor Rudy Giuliani will pursue all appropriate legal action against this disgusting lie."

The reason for this brilliant display is the sun, which shot a giant eruption of charged particles toward Earth on Sunday. The colorful Northern Lights, or aurora borealis, appear when electrically charged particles from the sun interact with molecules in Earth's atmosphere. Northern Lights may appear unusually far southTypically these dazzling green, red, pink, and purple lights only appear around the Arctic Circle, or around the South Pole (there it's called the aurora australis). That's because our planet's magnetic field lines channel the steady stream of particles, called the "solar wind," to the poles. AdvertisementAdvertisementWhere the aurora might appear tonightThe below map of the Space Weather Prediction Center's aurora forecast shows where late-night or early-morning sky watchers might be lucky enough to see the Northern Lights.

The federal gun law used to indict Hunter Biden has a surprising critic: a conservative-led federal appeals courtThe panel ruled the law was unconstitutional in another case, but legal experts say it could come up in Biden's case. The president's son was indicted on three gun-related charges on Thursday after his original plea deal fell apart in court. But the appeals court panel ruled that it was too broad when it was used in Daniels' case and tossed out his conviction. Hunter Biden — the son of President Joe Biden — was indicted Thursday on three gun-related charges. Daniels' case is "readily distinguishable" from Biden's, former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy told Fox News, so it may not apply directly.

For years, scientists have observed flashes of light on Venus and thought they were lightning. That's good news for future missions to Venus since lightning would pose a threat to spacecraft. One reason the researchers don't think it's lightning is because of Venus' radio silence. AdvertisementAdvertisementThat's good news for future missions to Venus; if the flashes were lightning, it could pose a threat to probes entering the planet's atmosphere, according to NASA. AdvertisementAdvertisementNASA plans to send the DAVINCI probe to study Venus' clouds and geology in 2031 and hopefully retrieve other data when its atmospheric descent probe makes contact with the surface.

The indictment comes after Biden's plea deal with the feds related to two tax charges fell through in late July. AdvertisementAdvertisementThe indictment comes after Biden's plea deal with federal prosecutors on misdemeanor tax charges fell apart in court in late July. AdvertisementAdvertisementProsecutors previously signaled they would bring the gun and tax charges against Biden through the ordinary process, with a grand jury. While Thursday's indictment includes three gun charges, it does not include the tax charges. A plea deal with no time behind bars was an unusually good bargain, he said.

The crater was likely caused by Russia's Luna-25 lander crashing into the moon last month, NASA said. Had Luna-25 not crashed, it would've been the first craft to explore the lunar south pole region. It could be the crash site of Russia's Luna-25 moon lander, NASA said in a statement Thursday. "During its descent" on August 19, "Luna 25 experienced an anomaly that caused it to impact the surface of the Moon," NASA said in the statement. The country had previously tried to land a craft near the lunar south pole, but it failed the first time.

Trump told the lawyer he paid off all the loans that he took out from banks to pay for his properties. When I get sued by you — fortunately, I don't need banks," Trump continued.

Proud Boys Enrique Tarrio and one co-defendant were due to be sentenced Wednesday for their roles in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. Prosecutors were seeking 33 years behind bars for Tarrio, who was convicted of seditious conspiracy and other charges in May. "Due to an emergency, the court is not proceeding today with sentencings in the Proud Boy cases," the Justice Department first said. An unrelated case also scheduled for Wednesday before US District Judge Timothy Kelly, the judge who would have sentenced Tarrio and Nordean, was also cancelled. "No emergency – Judge Kelly out sick," a spokesman for the US Marshals told Insider three hours after the cancellation.

Texas National Guardsmen set up a secret spying mission by using WhatsApp to snoop on migrants, a watchdog found. Top brass in Operation Lone Star — a state-run effort to combat illegal immigration — "wanted to pretend it was like Iraq," one servicemember told The Texas Tribune and The Military Times. Insider has reached out to the Texas National Guard for comment. After whistleblowers reported the WhatsApp surveillance, leaders in the Texas National Guard shut down Operation Lone Star's intelligence unit, the report said. The Texas Military Department's inspector general also investigated the activity and determined it was an unauthorized foreign intelligence operation, the outlets reported.

Prosecutors want to know how intoxicated Rudy Giuliani was during and after the 2020 election. They also want to know if Trump knew that Giuliani was drunk when he was advising the former president. An aide testified that Giuliani was "intoxicated" on Election Night 2020 but Giuliani said he was only drinking Diet Coke. Investigators have also asked witnesses if Trump gossiped about Giuliani's drinking, and if the former president ever said Giuliani's drinking habits affected his judgment. One Trump aide, Jason Miller, previously said Giuliani was drunk at the White House's 2020 election night party.

Donald Trump might make new campaign merch soon — featuring his Georgia mugshot. But New York doesn't make mugshots public like Georgia does, so the Trump campaign had to get creative. Immediately following that first New York indictment, the Trump campaign started advertising a new T-shirt featuring a clearly fake mugshot of the former President emblazoned with the words "NOT GUILTY." (AP Photo/Alex Brandon)Now that he has the public mugshot he wanted, Trump's team might swap out the fake mugshot on his campaign merch for the real one. On Thursday, Trump rolled out a fundraising plea entirely based on the Georgia indictment and his arrest.

Black holes can move through the universe at 17,500 miles per second, scientists have calculated. That's why black holes appear black. The scientists estimate the recoil speed limit for black holes is around 63 million miles per hour. They calculated that the maximum speed limit that recoiling black holes could reach was around 63 million mph. What if astronomers observe black holes that break this speed limit, recoiling at speeds greater than 63 million mph?
