North Lakes is a very large housing development on previously rural land in Moreton Bay City Council area which is the next local government area heading north from Brisbane. The massive planned community of now multiple suburbs is centred around both the lake and a large town area. There is a beautiful walk around it where birds and Eastern Water Dragons thrive. This is one quiet end.

This photo shows the 12 August 2026 total solar eclipse as seen from León, Spain. Totality lasted for 1 minute and 45 seconds, from 20:28–20:30 CEST.

Here, the Moon is perfectly covering the Sun. Without any direct sunlight, we can see the Sun's faint outer atmosphere, called the corona, extending outwards in all directions.

Quake hit Indonesia’s Flores region with a depth of 10km early on Saturday morning

A powerful 7.7-magnitude quake has struck off the coast of Indonesia, the US Geological Survey said. No immediate casualties or damage were reported.

The quake hit Indonesia’s Flores region with a depth of 10km at 5:58am on Saturday Indonesia time. It’s epicentre was 68km (42 miles) north-northwest of the city of Ende in East Nusa Tenggara province.

CARACAS (ANP/RTR/AFP) - De Venezolaanse regering heeft vrijdag aangekondigd 131 politieke gevangenen vrij te laten. Hun detentie zou worden omgezet in andere, niet nader omschreven maatregelen.

Volgens de mensenrechtenorganisatie Foro Penal zijn 29 mensen vrijgelaten. Er zitten volgens de organisatie nog 362 politieke gevangenen vast.

De regering is met de oppositie gesprekken begonnen om het land te verzoenen. Mogelijk leiden de onderhandelingen tot nieuwe verkiezingen.

In januari werd de voormalige president van Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, samen met zijn vrouw door de Verenigde Staten gevangengenomen en naar de VS gebracht. Ze worden onder andere beschuldigd van drugssmokkel.

Nabestaanden van omgebrachte Venezolanen houden Maduro bovendien verantwoordelijk voor de opdracht tot die moorden. Er zouden zeker 1300 moorden zijn gepleegd door een Venezolaanse elite-eenheid tussen 2017 en 2020. Daartoe zou Maduro opdracht hebben gegeven.
