It's no surprise that when you turn on the TV, inevitably, President Trump will appear in some report, lie, or immature response. His ineptness, irresponsibility, and immaturity often overshadows other important global events, therefore, despite it being hard, this article focuses on all news events that doesn't directly involve Trump.

1. A NASA Satellite Has Captured A Mile-Long Iceberg Breaking Away From an Antarctic Glacier.

5. India's Historic Space Launch
