NASA has released the clearest view of Mars to date, with blue rocks observed across the planet’s landscape.The images were captured by the Perseverance rover as it explores the planet.Dark blue, jagged rocks of volcanic basalt were found on top of the dried remains of an ancient lakebed, according to the Daily Mail.10 FUN FACTS ABOUT MARS, ALSO KNOWN AS THE RED PLANETNASA found the boulders on what has been dubbed « Mount Washburn, » a rocky field on the Jezero crater, where an ancient lake is believed to have been located billions of years ago.The name « Mount Washburn » was given to the field of rocks in honor of a mountain in Yellowstone National Park.SPACEX LAUNCHES MISSION TO SPACE STATION THAT WILL BRING BACK STRANDED NASA ASTRONAUTS NEXT YEARThe rover came upon a white-striped rock within the field of blue boulders. The Perseverance science team nicknamed the light-toned boulder with dark speckles « Atoko Point. »While the blue rocks are primarily volcanic basalt, which is typical of Martian terrain, NASA concluded that « Atoko Point » is made of anorthosite-a silica-rich volcanic rock, which has never been documented on Mars.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPThis rock type had been theorized to exist but never seen on the Martian landscape, according to Marca. »Are there other rocks like this near the Jezero Crater rim?

As the death toll rises and roughly a quarter of a million people remain without power or running water a week and a half after Hurricane Helen tore a path of destruction through the southeast United States, another powerful storm is bearing down on the region.Hurricane Milton, now an extremely dangerous Category 5 storm, is on course to slam into Florida Wednesday evening.With four weeks to go until Election Day in November and Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Trump locked in a bitter margin-of-error showdown in the race to succeed President Biden in the White House, and with two of the hardest-hit states from Helene — North Carolina and Georgia — among the seven key battlegrounds that will likely determine the outcome of the 2024 election – the politics of federal disaster relief are once again front and center on the campaign trail.Trump has been attacking the vice president and her boss over the federal response to Hurricane Helene for well over a week. Harris, on Monday, fired back, accusing Trump of pushing « a lot of mis and disinformation. » HEAD HERE FOR THE LATEST FOX NEWS WEATHER UPDATES ON HURRICANE MILTONThe former president has repeatedly charged that Biden and Harris have been incompetant in their handling of rescue and recovery efforts. »It is going down as the WORST & MOST INCOMPETENTLY MANAGED ‘STORM,’ AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL, EVER SEEN BEFORE, » Trump claimed last week.On Monday, he argued in a social media post that the administration’s storm response was « the WORST rescue operation in the history of the U.S. »And Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, charged Monday in a « Fox and Friends » interview that the administration’s efforts were « incompetence of the highest order. »The Trump campaign, in announcing Vance would hold a town hall Thursday in Greensboro, North Carolina, argued that Harris « completely left North Carolina behind in the wake of devastation post-Hurricane Helene. »And in a blatant pitch for votes, the former president claimed that « NORTH CAROLINA HAS BEEN VIRTUALLY ABANDONED BY KAMALA!!! DROP HER LIKE SHE DROPPED YOU – VOTE FOR PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP. MAGA2024! »CLICK HERE FOR UP-TO-DATE FOX NEWS REPORTING ON THE STORMSTrump’s repeatedly made unsubstantiated claims as he’s targeted Biden and Harris – among them that Republican Gov. Brian Kemp of Georgia had been unable to reach Biden when Helene first tore through the Peach State. Kemp later confirmed that he had already been in contact with the president.Despite the untruths from the former president, he did beat Biden and Harris to the scene, surveying the storm-damaged region two days before they did last week.The optics put the president and vice president on defense, and they’ve been forced to repeatedly correct the record.The White House has publicized FEMA’s [Federal Emergency Management Agency] efforts in assisting the hard-hit states. Biden made back-to-back trips to the southeast last Wednesday and Thursday, as he stopped in the four hardest hit states, and Harris also made two trips to survey damage.Huddled with Democratic and Republican politicians from the region last week, Biden emphasized that « in a moment like this, we put politics aside, at least we should put it all aside. We have here — there are no Democrats or Republicans, only Americans — our job is to help as many people as we can, as quickly as we can, and as thoroughly as we can. »Trump – along with his allies – has repeatedly aimed to tie the storm response to the combustible issue of border security, as he claimed that FEMA funds for the rescue and relief efforts in North Carolina were being diverted to support undocumented migrants.The Harris campaign, firing back, said that Trump and Vance and their allies have been « pushing debunked lies about Hurricane Helene response. »A top North Carolina Republican – Sen. Thom Tillis – asked about the charges, said on the Sunday talk shows that « I believe that we have to stay focused on rescue operations, recovery operations, clearing operations, and we don’t need any of these distractions on the ground. »Harris, on Monday, called Trump’s actions « extraordinarily irresponsible. » »It’s about him. It’s not about you. And the reality is that FEMA has so many resources that are available to folks who desperately need them now, and resources that are about helping people get back on their feet and rebuild and have places to go, » Harris emphasized.But longtime Republican strategist David Kochel noted that Trump had been « very aggressive » with his initial quick trip to the storm-damaged region. « I think he put a lot of pressure on them to try to do something, » Kochel, a veteran of numerous GOP presidential campaigns, told Fox News. « He’s out there pushing a line that they don’t care, they’re not doing anything, and I think they’re reacting to it. »Now, with Hurricane Milton bearing down on Florida, the Biden administration highlighted their efforts in a release headlined « Federal Assistance for Hurricane Helene Exceeds $210 Million, FEMA Prepares for Dual Response with Hurricane Milton Strengthening as it Moves Toward Gulf Coast of Florida. »As Biden declared a state of emergency in Florida on Monday, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida said during a news conference that 5,000 National Guardsmen had been mobilized in his state, with another 3,000 on the way. »We have gotten what we need from the feds, » DeSantis said. « The president has approved what we asked for….I’m thankful for that.. Everything we’ve asked for from President Biden, he’s approved. »This is far from the first time that a tropical storm has impacted a presidential race.Then-President George H.W. Bush took a political hit over FEMA’s disorganized efforts to provide relief in Florida from Hurricane Andrew, which pounded the then-key battleground state weeks before Election Day.Fast-forward a decade and his son – then-President George W. Bush – likely enjoyed a political bounce in Florida during his 2004 re-election thanks to his aggressive response to Hurricane Charley, which hit in August of that year.Bush was narrowly re-elected, thanks in large part to carrying the Sunshine State, but his administration’s image in handling storms took a major hit the next year, over the botched response in Louisiana to Hurricane Katrina.As he ran for re-election in 2012, then-President Barack Obama’s aggressive response in dealing with Superstorm Sandy -which slammed into the Eastern Seaboard days before the election – likely boosted him to victory.Trump, in his first year in office, faced criticism as Puerto Rico struggled to recover from a powerful storm. The president was pilloried for throwing paper towels to the crowd as he stopped by a relief center during a storm-related visit to the island.But the incident – which took place three years before his re-election effort – was vastly overshadowed by his response to the COVID crisis, the worst pandemic to hit the globe in a century.Get the latest updates from the 2024 campaign trail, exclusive interviews and more at our Fox News Digital election hub.

Brian Kemp after he was charged for stashing a bottle of gin in a ditch for a state prison work crew to access.Thomson Mayor Benjamin « Benji » Cary Cranford, 52, was indicted in August and subsequently arrested by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation on felony charges of furnishing prohibited items to inmates and attempt to commit a felony.Cranford allegedly drove to a store on June 3 and purchased a bottle of Seagram’s Extra Dry Gin before leaving it in a ditch along Cobbham Road in Thomson, Georgia, in the path of a work crew of state prisoners from the Jefferson County Correctional Institution.GEORGIA MAYOR ARRESTED ON FELONY CHARGES AFTER ALLEGEDLY STORING ALCOHOL IN A DITCH FOR INMATESJust days later, Thomson Police asked the GBI to conduct an investigation into allegations that Cranford left alcohol to inmates.Cranford was taken into custody by GBI agents after a city council meeting in August. He was booked into the McDuffie County Jail and was later released on $5,000 bail.Kemp issued an executive order officially suspending Cranford as mayor on Friday. Cranford had taken office earlier this year after defeating incumbent Kenneth Usry in the election last year.The governor’s office received the indictment on Aug. 20 and on Sept. 9, an executive order was issued, appointing members to a review commission to determine whether the indictment related to or adversely affected the administration of the mayor’s duties.GEORGIA’S MUSLIM VOTERS OPPOSING HARRIS, TRUMP IN ELECTION OVER BOTH CANDIDATES’ SUPPORT FOR ISRAELThe commission provided a report to the governor on Oct. 1 showing that the indictment is affecting the administration of the mayor’s duties and the rights and interests of the public. The commission recommended Cranford be suspended.Cranford’s suspension is effective immediately and will remain in effect until the final disposition of the case or until the mayor’s term expires, whichever happens first.

This house is separate from his official campus residence.The home of the university’s chief investment officer, Erik Lundberg, was also vandalized on Monday, according to The Detroit News.ANTI-ISRAEL AGITATORS SET UP ENCAMPMENT OUTSIDE JEWISH DEM REP’S HOME ON EVE OF OCT 7 HAMAS ATTACK ANNIVERSARYThis, as Ono and the university’s governing board have been criticized by pro-Palestinian demonstrators for not seeking to cut all investment linked to Israel.The university said it has no direct investments and less than $15 million placed with funds that might include companies in Israel, which is less than 0.1% of the total endowment.Mark Bernstein, a member of the university’s Board of Regents, said the vandalism was « yet another assaultive act of intimidation by the antisemitic mob. »Last spring, demonstrators wearing masks set up tents and placed fake bloody corpses outside the home of a Board of Regents member.FOUR AMERICAN HOSTAGES REMAIN IN HAMAS CAPTIVITY A YEAR AFTER OCT.7 MASSACREAn anti-Israel encampment set up on university grounds was cleared by police in May.

Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz raised some eyebrows about what he plans to do on Nov. 6 during his late-night debut on « Jimmy Kimmel Live. »On Monday, Walz and liberal host Jimmy Kimmel took turns knocking his GOP rival Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, over his refusal to say that former President Trump lost the 2020 election during last week’s vice presidential debate.Walz called it « very surreal » to listen to, but pivoted to his own optimism that the country will « turn the page » on Election Day. »For me, and being an eternal optimist, I always say that. I supervised a high school lunchroom – you’re an optimist or you’re dead, » Walz said.  « This idea that look, we get to turn the page on that, and I plan on waking up on November 6 with Madam President. »‘60 MINUTES’ ASKS HARRIS WHETHER IT WAS A ‘MISTAKE’ FOR BIDEN ADMIN TO GO SOFT ON BORDER, VP REPEATEDLY DODGESWhile the liberal audience roared with cheers, Kimmel jokingly asked for a clarification. « I want to be clear, you won’t be waking up together, » Kimmel responded with a grin. »No, » Walz laughed. « Unless you guys have gotten closer than we thought, » Kimmel quipped. « I have a problem about not being specific with my language. So thank you for that, specifically right, » Walz chuckled. MEDIA CRITICS PAN WALZ’S ‘UNSTEADY’ DEBATE PERFORMANCE: ‘CLEAR LACK OF PREPARATION AND EXECUTION’Walz previously went viral when he mistakenly claimed that he had « become friends with school shooters » during the vice presidential debate. »I sat in that office with those Sandy Hook parents. I’ve become friends with school shooters. I’ve seen it, » Walz said.WALZ STUNS THE INTERNET WITH VP DEBATE GAFFE: ‘I’VE BECOME FRIENDS WITH SCHOOL SHOOTERS’The poorly timed mishap occurred when Walz was asked about changing positions on banning assault weapons, which he previously opposed but now supports. Walz meant he had become friendly with parents who lost children to school shootings. He also made headlines when he referred to himself as a « knucklehead » after he was pressed about his falsehood about being in Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square massacre. During an interview on « 60 Minutes, » Walz was asked whether he could be trusted as other past statements have faced intense scrutiny. « Is that kind of misrepresentation- isn’t that more than just being a knucklehead? » CBS News’ Bill Whitaker asked. « I think folks know who I am and I think they know the difference between someone expressing emotion, telling a story, getting a date wrong … than a pathological liar like Donald Trump, » Walz said. « But I think it comes down to the question of whether you can be trusted to tell the truth, » Whitaker followed. « Yeah, well, I can. I think I can, » Walz responded. « I will own up to being a knucklehead at times, but the folks closest to me know that I keep my word, » Walz added.Fox News’ Brian Flood contributed to this report.
