Northern Lights illuminate Russia's Murmansk region
The Northern Lights are a rather common phenomenon in the north of Russia. Located in the northwestern part of Russia, on the Kola Bay of the Barents Sea, Murmansk is one of the best places in the world to observe the Northern Lights, as the city is located in the middle of the Aurora Belt, which is the region of the world where the Aurora is most frequently visible.

Michael Gove Pushes Ban On Laughing Gas Despite Personal Cocaine Use
"We are doing this because if you walk through any urban park you will see these little silver cannisters which are the evidence of people regarding public spaces as arenas for drug-taking. It is unacceptable. People should feel those spaces are being looked after in a way which means they are safe for children," UK minister Michael Gove said.
The statement may come across as questionable, considering that Gove has previously acknowledged that he used cocaine in the past. In 2019, a book disclosed that he had taken the drug several times while he was working as a journalist.
