Belém, Brazil, has welcomed climate change activists, journalists, and other high-profile guests for the COP30 climate summit, which began on Monday. Ironically, a multi-lane highway has been built to ferry all of them to Belem by cutting down 100,000 trees in the Amazon forest spread over a 12-kilometre area. US President Donald Trump also cited recently how a horrible thing has been done to the forest. "They ripped the hell out of the Rainforest of Brazil to build a four-lane highway for Environmentalists to travel. It's become a big scandal!" Trump posted on Truth Social on Sunday.

Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS brightened up near the Sun at perihelion, and also lost a lot of mass, both of which were several magnitudes more than expected. Recent images show strange jet structures emanating from it, in "at least seven directions." Now Harvard scientist Avi Loeb has hypothesised that it looks like 3I/ATLAS exploded near the Sun, an occurrence that could explain both the brightening and loss of mass. He states that according to data, on August 6, 2025, 3I/ATLAS lost only 150 kilograms of mass per second, as observed by the Webb telescope. But the latest images show that mass loss at perihelion is "4 orders of magnitude larger, about 2 million kilograms per second." He wrote, "Since the surface-to-mass ratio scales inversely with the characteristic radius of fragments, an increase in surface area by a minimum factor of 16 requires that 3I/ATLAS broke into at least 16 equal pieces, and likely many more." In case it is a natural comet, then the sudden brightening that was noted were "fireworks" from the explosion.Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/new-3i-atlas-image-shows-strange-sunward-jet-raising-further-questions-1762745044299">New 3I/ATLAS image shows strange jets shooting out of interstellar object</a>&nbsp;<h2>If 3I/ATLAS has remained intact, then it could be something else</h2>3I/ATLAS might soon start resembling the comet Shoemaker-Levi 9 that was torn off by Jupiter's gravity in 1994, leading the fragments to collide with the planet. But then again, in case the interstellar comet has not been broken down by the Sun and stayed "intact", then it might be a hint of it being an unnatural object, Loeb said. He once again highlighted that the earliest observations show that 3I/ATLAS has a mass that is "over a million times more than the inferred mass of 1I/`Oumuamua." It is estimated to be 33 billion tons, he said, pointing out as one of the first anomalies. If this is the case, then, Loeb says, “Houston, we have a problem” if it is a natural comet hypothesis. "The required surface area of 3I/ATLAS to provide the inferred mass loss from the latest post-perihelion image is at least 16 times larger than the upper limit derived from its Hubble image on July 21, 2025," he wrote.Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/3i-atlas-latest-updates-today-emits-radio-signals-near-sun-1762603420289">First radio signal detected from 3I/ATLAS as it swiped past the Sun</a> &nbsp;&nbsp;We'll have to wait for a clearer picture of 3I/ATLAS and how the Sun might have changed it.

A cafe in China received a public scolding for using the "People's" in its name. Notably, the Chinese government uses the word "People" in several ways, and it is also used alongside its authoritative institutions. The country’s official name is the People’s Republic of China, and the Chinese yuan is also called renminbi, with “renmin” meaning people in Mandarin. Its military is also known as the People’s Liberation Army. So when a cafe called itself People’s Cafe, it irked the government. In an opinion piece, the state media lashed out against it for riding on the "gimmick economy." The People’s Daily, the Communist Party mouthpiece that also used the word, wrote that the term "carries a distinct public character and profound political connotations, embodying specific social sentiments and public interests."&nbsp;The coffee chain has now apologised and changed its name after it was roasted for using the term to further its interests and attract customers. Its decor is red with a star on its storefront, and a typeface inspired by the calligraphy of China’s first communist leader, Mao Zedong. “Marketing can be creative, but it must not cross the bottom line,” the daily wrote. Pictures of the cafe were splashed around Chinese social media, showing drinks sprinkled with “China” on top. It also carries the slogan “Tell China’s story with coffee” on the walls, showing how it was using patriotism to sell its coffee.&nbsp;<h2>Netizens ask, isn't using ‘People’ illegal?</h2>Following the backlash, it was now changed its name and offered an apology. Its full name is Yao Chao People’s Cafe, but it uses only "People’s Cafe" at overseas outlets, including in Macau and Hong Kong, which it says will remain the same. However, it will add its legally registered moniker back at the 30 outlets it has across the country, according to state media. Netizens also aren't happy with the trick the cafe pulled. One user asked, “Isn’t that in breach of the law? Shouldn’t it be suspended and reorganised?” &nbsp;

A cafe in China had to apologise for using the word People in its name. It was reprimanded by the state media itself for crossing the line. The cafe's decor and servings were all leaning towards political colours, and that did not go down well with the government.

After a massive explosion rocked near the Red Fort Metro Station in Delhi on Monday, killing at least 8 and injuring several, a high alert was issued across Delhi, Mumbai, Haryana and all districts of Uttar Pradesh. Multiple media reports confirmed that security is heightened at important places in the capital city of Maharashtra. Additionally, Kolkata has also been placed on high alert, where police have activated all units and are initiating security checks across the city.&nbsp;Officials have been directed to carry out frequent patrols across India’s financial capital, particularly in vulnerable zones. Additionally, authorities in UP's Lucknow have been instructed to step up monitoring and enhance surveillance in sensitive areas.&nbsp;The exact cause and nature of the blast is yet to be ascertained. As reported by news agency ANI, the Delhi Fire Department received a call regarding an explosion in a car near Gate No. 1 of the Red Fort Metro Station, after which three to four vehicles also caught fire and sustained damage. A total of 7 fire tenders have reached the spot. A team from the Delhi Police Special Cell has also reached the spot.<h3>The explosion appeared to have originated from a car</h3>The explosion was so impactful that it shattered the windows of vehicles parked several metres away and was heard in nearby buildings of the congested area. “The blast occurred in a car parked near the Red Fort metro station gate number 1. The intensity was quite high. Injuries are feared,” said a senior official of Delhi Fire Service, the Hindu reported.&nbsp;Several visuals of the incident surfaced on social media showing plumes of fire billowing from the burning cars. Following the incident, panic gripped the area, and multiple vehicles were seen damaged at the spot.&nbsp;Meanwhile, an injured eyewitness stated that the blast appeared to have originated from a car, likely from a Swift. “There was a Swift car in front of my auto. There was something in that car that suddenly blasted,” he said, The Hindu reported.Another witness added, “I was at the gurdwara when I heard a strong sound. We couldn’t make out what it was; it was that loud.” “A number of vehicles nearby were completely damaged,” he also said. &nbsp;

The recovery of hundreds of kilogrammes of explosive precursor material, Kalashnikov assault rifles and propaganda material from near the heart of the Indian capital New Delhi is evoking memories of earlier terror attacks. The bust, which followed weeks of investigation and the interrogation of a Kashmiri doctor working in Faridabad in the National Capital Region (NCR), took place just weeks ahead of the anniversary of the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks and two decades after the 2005 Delhi serial blasts. The recoveries and arrests point to the existence of what police described as a ‘white-collar terror ecosystem’, with links to Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and the al-Qaeda-linked Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind (AGuH). Clearly, a major terror attack—or a series of attacks—was being planned, aimed at creating mayhem in or near India’s capital, even as the wounds of the recent Pahalgam terror attack are yet to heal.<h2>A terror module spanning J&amp;K, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and beyond</h2>The joint operation, involving Jammu and Kashmir Police, the Intelligence Bureau, Haryana Police and Uttar Pradesh Police, dismantled a network that was allegedly building a sophisticated terror infrastructure in northern India. It marks a chilling evolution in terrorist strategy that combines radical ideology with professional cover to evade detection. The white-collar terror ecosystem involved working professionals and clerics operating far from traditional conflict zones, and dangerously close to India’s capital.Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/j-k-police-bust-doctor-turned-jem-operative-s-tip-off-leads-to-300kg-rdx-two-ak-47s-seized-another-medic-detained-1762745949045">J&amp;K police foils major terror plot: 360kg of IED material seized after doctor-turned-JeM operative’s tip-off; another medic detained</a><h2>White collar terror ecosystem: How the probe began and evolved</h2>Jaish-e-Mohammed propaganda posters that appeared in Srinagar’s Nowgam area on 19 October were the trigger for the investigation. The posters threatened security forces and promoted extremist ideology. Police registered a case under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and other laws and began making arrests. Interrogations in Kashmir quickly revealed a much wider network with transnational links stretching across multiple states.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/videos/jammu-kashmir-police-foil-terror-plot-seize-350-kg-explosives-and-ak-47-in-faridabad-1762765713896/embed">https://www.wionews.com/videos/jammu-kashmir-police-foil-terror-plot-seize-350-kg-explosives-and-ak-47-in-faridabad-1762765713896/embed</a><h2>North India terror module is unprecedented in scale and composition</h2>Two doctors from south Kashmir—Dr Adil Ahmad Rather and Dr Muzammil Ahmad Ganaie—were at the centre of the conspiracy, according to the police. Both were highly educated professionals who allegedly used their medical positions to disguise radical activities, including recruitment through encrypted channels. Dr Ganaie was employed at Al-Falah Medical College in Faridabad, while Dr Rather was a former Senior Resident at Government Medical College, Anantnag.Dr Ganaie had rented a house in Dhauj village in Faridabad roughly three months before the raids. The property was used as a safehouse to store arms, explosives and improvised explosive device (IED) components. It was the interrogation of Dr Rather, arrested from Saharanpur in Uttar Pradesh on 6 November, that led investigators to the Faridabad cache.<h2>What the police found in Faridabad: A stunning cache</h2>The raid on the Dhauj property on Sunday (Nov 9), led to the recovery of about 360 kilogrammes of ammonium nitrate—an industrial chemical often used in bomb-making.&nbsp;Police also found an AK-47 rifle, pistols, ammunition, timers, batteries, electronic circuits and inflammable liquids. One rifle was reportedly recovered from the vehicle of a woman doctor associated with the suspects. Another raid in the same area the following day led to the seizure of additional materials. Communication devices and incriminating documents indicating contact with handlers based in Pakistan were also recovered.Seven people, all hailing from Jammu and Kashmir, have been arrested so far in connection with the case.

J&K Police’s Faridabad terror module bust exposes a terror network using doctors and clerics to plan major attacks near Delhi. The terror mayhem that could have involved IEDs has just been averted. Is Delhi safe from newly emerging white collar terror ecosystem?


The recovery of hundreds of kilogrammes of explosive precursor material, Kalashnikov assault rifles and propaganda material from near the heart of the Indian capital New Delhi is evoking memories of earlier terror attacks. The bust, which followed weeks of investigation and the interrogation of a Kashmiri doctor working in Faridabad in the National Capital Region (NCR), took place just weeks ahead of the anniversary of the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks and two decades after the 2005 Delhi serial blasts. The recoveries and arrests point to the existence of what police described as a ‘white-collar terror ecosystem’, with links to Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and the al-Qaeda-linked Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind (AGuH). Clearly, a major terror attack—or a series of attacks—was being planned, aimed at creating mayhem in or near India’s capital, even as the wounds of the recent Pahalgam terror attack are yet to heal. A terror module spanning J&K, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and beyond The joint operation, involving Jammu and Kashmir Police, the Intelligence Bureau, Haryana Police and Uttar Pradesh Police, dismantled a network that was allegedly building a sophisticated terror infrastructure in northern India. It marks a chilling evolution in terrorist strategy that combines radical ideology with professional cover to evade detection. The white-collar terror ecosystem involved working professionals and clerics operating far from traditional conflict zones, and dangerously close to India’s capital.

The posters threatened security forces and promoted extremist ideology. Police registered a case under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and other laws and began making arrests. Interrogations in Kashmir quickly revealed a much wider network with transnational links stretching across multiple states. https://www.wionews.com/videos/jammu-kashmir-police-foil-terror-plot-seize-350-kg-explosives-and-ak-47-in-faridabad-1762765713896/embed North India terror module is unprecedented in scale and composition Two doctors from south Kashmir—Dr Adil Ahmad Rather and Dr Muzammil Ahmad Ganaie—were at the centre of the conspiracy, according to the police. Both were highly educated professionals who allegedly used their medical positions to disguise radical activities, including recruitment through encrypted channels. Dr Ganaie was employed at Al-Falah Medical College in Faridabad, while Dr Rather was a former Senior Resident at Government Medical College, Anantnag. Dr Ganaie had rented a house in Dhauj village in Faridabad roughly three months before the raids. The property was used as a safehouse to store arms, explosives and improvised explosive device (IED) components. It was the interrogation of Dr Rather, arrested from Saharanpur in Uttar Pradesh on 6 November, that led investigators to the Faridabad cache. What the police found in Faridabad: A stunning cache The raid on the Dhauj property on Sunday (Nov 9), led to the recovery of about 360 kilogrammes of ammonium nitrate—an industrial chemical often used in bomb-making. Police also found an AK-47 rifle, pistols, ammunition, timers, batteries, electronic circuits and inflammable liquids. One rifle was reportedly recovered from the vehicle of a woman doctor associated with the suspects. Another raid in the same area the following day led to the seizure of additional materials. Communication devices and incriminating documents indicating contact with handlers based in Pakistan were also recovered. Seven people, all hailing from Jammu and Kashmir, have been arrested so far in connection with the case. A cleric from Shopian and several Srinagar-based operatives were detained for assisting with logistics, propaganda and recruitment. Also read: Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind terror group revived?

A woman born without a brain in Nebraska celebrated her 20th birthday recently. At birth, the doctors said that she wouldn't live past the age of four, but she defied all odds and proved them wrong. Alex Simpson of Omaha is afflicted by a rare condition known as hydranencephaly. Shawn and Lorena Simpson spoke with local news outlet KETV News about their daughter's medical issue, saying, "[Hydranencephaly] means that her brain is not there." Shawn added, "Technically, she has about half the size of my pinky finger of her cerebellum in the back part of her brain, but that's all that's there." He said that the doctors told them she won't live past the age of four.&nbsp;Talking about the reason that helped her prove everyone wrong, they said love is what has helped her live so much longer than expected. This is when Alex can't see or hear her parents. Shawn said her eye movements can tell that she is looking for them. “You can see that when I went up there and talked to her a little bit ago, she was looking for me,” he told the outlet.&nbsp;After the doctors told them about her condition, the parents feared for her. They didn't know what to do, but faith kept them going. “Twenty years ago, we were scared, but faith, I think, is really what kept us alive," he said. “She’s a fighter,” Lorena added. Alex has a 14-year-old brother, SJ, who says he is proud to have a daughter like Alex. “When people ask about my family, the first thing I start with is Alex, my disabled sister,” he said.&nbsp;He also believes that Alex has a way to know what's going on around her. SJ added that when someone is stressed and no one talks about it around her, she can still sense it. According to the Cleveland Clinic, hydranencephaly occurs in one in 5,000 to one in 10,000 pregnancies, and most of them don't live beyond the first year of their life.

The Indian tectonic plate is undergoing an unexpected shift under Tibet. According to a study, this plate is splitting into two. This plate, along with the Eurasian plate, crashed into each other millions of years ago, forming the Himalayas and the Tibetan plateau. But the geological process and the tectonic interaction between the Indian and Eurasian plates have remained somewhat of a mystery. However, a study presented at the 2023 American Geophysical Union conference gives a clearer picture of Earth’s deep geological activity and an unexpected occurrence. For years, it has been believed that the Indian plate is sliding beneath the Eurasian plate. This continental collision started millions of years ago. The Eurasian plate is being pushed upwards. But recent discovery shows that that's not all that's happening. The Lower part of the Indian plate is peeling off and sinking into the mantle.Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/what-is-at-the-centre-of-the-solar-system-not-the-sun-but-an-invisible-force-1762755209678">What is at the centre of the solar system?

These discoveries indicate that the fractures are reaching deep into the plate, leading to the gases being released from the mantle.

The delamination of the Indian plate shows how tectonic forces work under the Earth, showing how the larger mechanism continues to remain a mystery. The study utilised data from 94 seismic stations across southern Tibet to understand the tectonic activity. Both “up-and-down” S-wave and “back-and-forth” P-wave data were studied, as these seismic waves offer crucial insight into the composition and movement of tectonic plates.

Our solar system is believed to be centred around the Sun, with all the other planets revolving around it. The most fascinating aspect of the universe is that everything is in motion. The planets rotate and revolve, and the same goes for our Sun. It is in motion and not exactly at the centre of the solar system. It is also revolving around a mysterious object known as the barycenter. It is an invisible point in space where the mass of the sun and the planets evens out. Its gravity pulls everything towards it, the planets and the Sun, which means that our star also has an orbit. The barycenter is the point where the gravitational forces of two bodies in a system are balanced. It is created when two or more objects are joined together by the force of gravity. It is located near the object with the most mass. In our case, near the Sun since it is the heaviest body in our solar system, but not necessarily at its centre.Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/science/earth-s-nearest-body-hides-space-s-most-valuable-element-and-mining-missions-are-on-1762514083214">Earth’s nearest body hides space's most valuable element, and mining missions are on</a> &nbsp;<h2>The Sun wobbles, and this exposed the barycentre</h2>Our Sun often wobbles, and this is what revealed the existence of the barycentre. This happens when the barycenter moves because of the pull caused by heavier planets, such as Jupiter and Saturn. Their mass means they have the most pull on the Sun. So when they align in a certain way, they pull the barycentre outwards, causing the Sun to also get a little jiggly.

A team of Japanese researchers has found that instead of a man's hands or fingers revealing the size of his penis, a bigger indication is his nose. Researchers at Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine made the conclusion based on autopsy reports of 124 men, SCMP reported. The researchers measured various body parts and compared them to each man’s “stretched penile length”. Their analysis showed that nose size might be a better and more reliable physical indicator of penis size. A larger nose meant a bigger penis, while a smaller one indicated a short one. The study, published in the journal Basic and Clinical Andrology, states that men with larger noses had an average penile length of about 5.3 inches, while those with smaller noses averaged about 4.1 inches.Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/science/length-of-a-man-s-fingers-can-reveal-his-sex-drive-shorter-finger-means-1751705942841">Length of a man's fingers can reveal his sex drive.

However, they did not find a connection, which means developmental factors established before birth likely have an effect. “The link between nose size and penile length suggests that male hormone exposure during fetal development may influence both traits,” the study’s lead author, Dr Hiroshi Ikegaya, said. “The prenatal environment may play a greater role than post-pubertal growth”. The study gains significance since it scientifically established a link between the size of the nose and penis length. On the other hand, experts say that previous assertions that the length of the hand or foot determined penile size did not have any statistical correlation.&nbsp;Rena Malik, a urologist based in Beverly Hills, said that nose length was the only body measurement with clear figures and statistics, SCMP reported. There have been previous studies in the past linking the length of fingers to penis size. Professor Kim Tae-beom at Gachon University in South Korea studied the two and concluded in a study published in the Asian Journal of Andrology that men who had longer ring fingers as compared to their index fingers seemed to have longer penises on average. This was attributed to testosterone exposure in the womb, which affected both fingers and the penis.

Japanese researchers have found that the length of a man's nose can tell about the size of a man's penis. &nbsp;Researchers at Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine studied autopsy data of 124 men to state that not hands or feet, but the nose carries clear statistics.

Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is displaying two anti-tail jets and a longer jet in the other direction in a new image shared by two British astronomers. They shared that the photo was taken on November 9 and "is heavily processed to show the antitail and the smoking tail. It is a combination of a picture series taken with two telescopes, which Michael Buechner and Frank Niebling shared. While the object once again has a tail, what baffles scientists is the other jets that seem to be directed towards the Sun. Harvard scientist Avi Loeb wrote that the picture shows "two anti-tail jets out to 10 arcminutes towards the Sun accompanied by a longer collimated jet." The sunward jets measure 0.95 million kilometres, while the tail jetting away from the Sun is about 2.85 million kilometres long. This is way bigger than the "glowing halo around 3I/ATLAS" captured by the Hubble Space Telescope on July 21.Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/3i-atlas-latest-updates-today-emits-radio-signals-near-sun-1762603420289">First radio signal detected from 3I/ATLAS as it swiped past the Sun</a> &nbsp;<h2>Probes won't be able to intercept jets from 3I/ATLAS</h2>Loeb says the size of the jets means that particle probes on Earth-based satellites won't be able to capture the particles since 3I/ATLAS will be 269 million kilometres at its nearest point from Earth, about a hundred times larger than the extent of the jet structure seen in the latest images. He says, the same goes for NASA’s Juno spacecraft around Jupiter, which will observe it on March 16, 2026, from a distance of 53 million kilometres.

He cites that the solar wind flows at a speed of about 400 kilometres per second, a thousand times larger than the outflow speed from a natural comet. But in case of the anti-tail seen in 3I/ATLAS, the outermost mass density "is a million times bigger than that of the solar wind." He inferred, based on the observations and his calculations, that the diameter of 3I/ATLAS must be bigger than five kilometres. "If it is a natural comet and most of its nucleus survived perihelion, then the diameter of 3I/ATLAS should be 10 kilometres or larger. He once again raised doubts over its mass, which is likely over 50 billion tons, at least a million times more than the inferred mass of 1I/`Oumuamua. This, he says, is almost impossible to happen before we see much smaller interstellar objects.

3i/ATLAS update today: A new photo taken by British astronomers Michael Buechner and Frank Niebling shows jets emanating from the interstellar comet in at least two directions. But their size means that probes might not be able to analyse these mysterious structures.

Artificial intelligence has entered almost every corner of the workplace, but a recent viral Reddit post has raised eyebrows about just how far it has gone. A user on the platform claimed that they were interviewed by an AI bot instead of a real person — and the story has quickly become a hot topic online. The Reddit user shared their experience on the page r/interviews, saying they received an email one morning inviting them to an online job interview. Everything seemed normal at first. “I clicked the link, and there was my interviewer. She smiled, nodded, and started asking questions,” the user wrote.&nbsp;But soon, things started to feel strange. The user noticed that the interviewer’s head movements looked repetitive, and her face twitched slightly every few seconds. Thinking it might be an internet glitch, they continued. However, the conversation felt too perfect, &nbsp;no pauses, no natural breaks, and no filler words.&nbsp;Also read |<a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/atp-finals-2025-can-anyone-stop-jannik-sinner-and-carlos-alcaraz-in-turin-1762670499049"> ATP Finals 2025: Can anyone stop Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz in Turin?</a>&nbsp;When the user tried to ask a question back, “Why do you think this role matters?” the interviewer’s response came instantly, in a tone that felt scripted and emotionless. At one point, the screen froze briefly and then continued as if nothing had happened. That’s when the candidate realised something wasn’t right.&nbsp;Concluding the post, the user wrote, “I’m not against AI in hiring, but if an interviewer is basically a talking bot, shouldn’t candidates at least be told?”&nbsp;The post quickly spread across Reddit, with thousands commenting on it. One user wrote, “If the interviewer can be AI, then candidates should also be allowed to use AI to match the energy.”&nbsp;Another added, “AI interviewers are not new, but they take away the human touch that interviews should have.”&nbsp;Some HR professionals in the comments admitted they found the story “scary,” saying that while AI can help shortlist candidates, replacing real human interviews could make hiring feel cold and impersonal.

A South African observatory has detected a radio signal emitting from 3I/ATLAS. The MeerKAT radio telescope picked up radio absorption lines by hydroxyl radicals, namely OH molecules, from the interstellar object. The OH absorption signal was detected in two spectral lines at radio frequencies of 1.665 and 1.667 gigahertz. The South African Radio Astronomy Observatory had also tried to detect these lines on September 20 and 28, 2025, but the effort was in vain. It tasted success on October 24, 2025, when the angular separation of 3I/ATLAS from the Sun was 3.76 degrees. Harvard scientist Avi Loeb reported about the discovery in his blog, stating that "the Doppler shift of the OH absorption results from the full speed of 3I/ATLAS relative to Earth."&nbsp;At this place, the distance between 3I/ATLAS and the Sun was 1.38 times that of Earth and Sun. &nbsp;"The resulting thermal speed of the OH molecules shed from the surface of 3I/ATLAS at a temperature of ~230 degrees Kelvin," Loeb wrote. This is the first radio detection from the interstellar object since it was discovered on July 1. Since then, it has displayed several oddities and anomalies that have stumped scientists. 3I/ATLAS virtually has no tail, and in fact, had an anti-tail initially.Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/scientist-estimates-interstellar-object-3i-atlas-beamed-the-wow-signal-48-years-ago-1759119107709">Scientist estimates interstellar object 3I/Atlas beamed the Wow!

Signal," he said.&nbsp;Loeb added that the "chance of two random directions in the sky being aligned to that level is about 0.6 per cent," so it is possible that 3I/ATLAS could have emitted the Wow! Signal. This strange signal remains unexplained to date. It was detected by SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) astronomer Jerry R. Ehman who was using the Ohio State University’s Big Ear radio telescope at the time.

Zohran Mamdani's victory in New York Mayoral elections has created history. As posts related to him went viral on social media, Stereogum, a music magazine in the US, shared a 2017 email sent by Mamdani, when the NYC-mayor elect was a struggling rapper. In the mail, Mamdani has requested Stereogum to share his new song titled "Salaam". Mamdani wrote that the song is about how a Muslim man feels in America and what fears he/she has to encounter and why. He also shafted link of his song cloud. Responding to the mail dated March 2017, Stereogum spologised and said they had missed the mail. A similar screenshot of the same mail sent to Passion of the Weiss founder Jeff Weiss was also shared on social media.&nbsp;Mamdani's rap songs have gone viral after his victory. Earlier during the campaign another song titled "Nani" went viral. Mamdani, as rapper released songs under the moniker of Mr. Cardamom. He even showed his love for Bollywood music during his victory speech as 'Dhoom Machale' played while he was on the stage. In teh 2017 song Salaam, Mamdani praises the 'Holy Land Five' — five men convicted in 2008 of donating over $12 million to Palestinian terror outfit Hamas. Among other rap songs of Mamdani that have found an audience is also his first single released in 2015, 'Kanda (Chap Chap)', where &nbsp;pays homage to roti or chapati. &nbsp;&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://cdn1.wionews.com/prod/wion/images/2025/20251108/image-1762590199550.png"></figure><figure class="image"><img src="https://cdn1.wionews.com/prod/wion/images/2025/20251108/image-1762590751579.png"></figure><h2>Zohran Mamdani's victory</h2>Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani registered a spectacular victory in New York Mayoral elections on Nov 4 by defeating Trump-backed former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, an independent candidate, and Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa. Mamdani knows that he has created history as he is the man of many firsts - first Indian-American to be the mayor of NYC, first immigrant mayor of NYC, first Muslim mayor of NYC, first South Asian mayor of NYC and the youngest mayor of the city in over a century.&nbsp;After his victory, he introduced the five women who will co-chair his transition. The transition team includes former deputy mayors Maria Torres-Springer and Melanie Hartzog, former FTC Chair Lina Khan, and United Way of New York City CEO Grace Bonilla. Meanwhile, Mamdani's first outing after win was with US Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at a Nepalese restaurant called Laliguras Bistro. Images of two having momos, chilli chicken and chai (tea) went viral! &nbsp;

The Denmark government on Friday announced a political agreement to ban access to social media for children under the age of 15. The move, led by the Ministry of Digitalisation, would set the age limit for access to social media but, after a specific assessment, will give some parents the right to give consent to let their children access social media from age 13. The move follows Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen’s call for restrictions on children’s use of social media in her opening speech to Parliament last month, due to concerns over the mental health of youth.

A video of New York's new mayor, Zohran Mamdani, celebrating Diwali has resurfaced on the internet. The video has created a buzz as netizens noticed the Indian-origin Muslim man, whose mother Mira Nair is a Hindu, was wearing a kalawa-like thread on his wrist.&nbsp;In the video, Mamdani was seen with content creator Komal Nambiar dancing on Bollywood beats. The duo was seen holding a piece of sweet in their hands, and Mamdani was seen wearing what appeared to be ‘kalawa’. It is a red-yellow thread that is worn for protection, as per Hindu rituals.&nbsp;It was not the first time Mamdani flaunted his Hindu legacy. Last month, Mamdani visited Hindu temples in the American city and said he was "proud" of his Hindu heritage. Mamdani, who is the son of the Indian-American filmmaker Mira Nair, visited Flushing, Queens, to offer prayers at the city’s two temples. During his visit, Mamdani said he was proud of being the first Indian-American mayor of NYC (Elections are scheduled for November 4 this year) and vowed that he would oppose federal immigration enforcement and improve multilingual communication throughout the city.&nbsp;"I'm proud of my Hindu heritage, I'm proud to be someone who would be the first Muslim mayor of this city, and I'm proud to hold all of those things together," Mamdani was quoted as saying by NepYork, a New York-based news portal.&nbsp;"I am proud that I would be the first Indian-American mayor of this city. I am proud of the fact that my mother's family is Hindu. And I grew up with a keen understanding, whilst myself being a Muslim, what Hinduism means. The stories that I learned, the tradition, the faith, the practices," Mamdani further told the reporters present there. Even on his victory day on November 4, Mamdani was seen wearing a kalawa on his right hand.

Los Angeles is on alert after health officials found a record number of rabid rats prowling the city this year. People have been asked to remain vigilant following the discovery of the second-highest number of bats with rabies. The LA County Department of Public Health said Wednesday that 61 bats have tested positive for rabies so far in 2025. The maximum number of rabid bats was recorded in 2021 when 68 of these creatures tested positive. “Bats are vital to our environment, but they can also carry rabies, a disease that is almost always fatal once symptoms appear,” Muntu Davis, Los Angeles County Health Officer, said in a statement, according to The Independent.&nbsp;According to a release by the department, the increase in the number of rabid bats follows a “decade-long upward trend” in the county. It states that about 14 per cent of bats that come in contact with people or pets test positive for rabies. A spike is noticed in the late summer months. In August alone, 23 confirmed rabid bats were found. Davis said, "Anyone who may have had contact with a bat should immediately speak with their medical provider or contact Public Health. Never touch a bat or any wild animals." He added that if someone finds a bat "indoors, or outdoors and if it appears sick, active during the day, unable to fly, or dead," they should report it to Animal Control.&nbsp;The bats with rabies were found in the suburban areas of the San Fernando Valley, in downtown LA buildings, and in parks, schools, businesses and the backyards of residences. The Santa Clarita Valley is also a hotspot where, past data suggests, most rabid bats are found in the county. Rabies through bats can reach humans through the animal's saliva or tissue, which can enter the body through the mouth, eyes, nose, or a bite or scratch. Bat bites are small and might go unnoticed. So people have been told that if they find a bat near a sleeping person, child, or pet, they should treat it as a possible rabies exposure. It has also advised vaccination for all pets. &nbsp;

Bats with rabies are frequently being reported in Los Angeles lately. Health officials have come across over 60 rabid bats and have asked people to stay alert. In an advisory, it has asked people to contact Animal Control or Public Health if they come across a bat near them.

Los Angeles is on alert after health officials found a record number of rabid rats prowling the city this year. People have been asked to remain vigilant following the discovery of the second-highest number of bats with rabies. The LA County Department of Public Health said Wednesday that 61 bats have tested positive for rabies so far in 2025. The maximum number of rabid bats was recorded in 2021 when 68 of these creatures tested positive. “Bats are vital to our environment, but they can also carry rabies, a disease that is almost always fatal once symptoms appear,” Muntu Davis, Los Angeles County Health Officer, said in a statement, according to The Independent. According to a release by the department, the increase in the number of rabid bats follows a “decade-long upward trend” in the county. It states that about 14 per cent of bats that come in contact with people or pets test positive for rabies. A spike is noticed in the late summer months. In August alone, 23 confirmed rabid bats were found. Davis said, "Anyone who may have had contact with a bat should immediately speak with their medical provider or contact Public Health. Never touch a bat or any wild animals." He added that if someone finds a bat "indoors, or outdoors and if it appears sick, active during the day, unable to fly, or dead," they should report it to Animal Control. The bats with rabies were found in the suburban areas of the San Fernando Valley, in downtown LA buildings, and in parks, schools, businesses and the backyards of residences. The Santa Clarita Valley is also a hotspot where, past data suggests, most rabid bats are found in the county. Rabies through bats can reach humans through the animal's saliva or tissue, which can enter the body through the mouth, eyes, nose, or a bite or scratch. Bat bites are small and might go unnoticed. So people have been told that if they find a bat near a sleeping person, child, or pet, they should treat it as a possible rabies exposure. It has also advised vaccination for all pets.

Rabid bats take over Los Angeles as officials issue warning - THIS region is the hotspot

Zohran Mamdani, New York's new mayor, is all over the internet for his charming personality and his gorgeous wife. But how many of you knew he met his wife, Rama Duwaji, on the dating platform Hinge? One can bet Hinge must have experienced a surge of new users after this news came out. Among all this, a woman has set the internet on fire after she claimed she once matched with Zohran but "rejected" him due to his height.&nbsp;The woman took to TikTok and posted a video with text - "Randomly remembered the time I matched with Zohran Mamdani on NYC Hinge a few years ago but didn't reply to him because his height was listed as 5'11 or 5'10."&nbsp;She said her younger self "knew" this meant that Zohran must be 5'9. This was in the context that men often lie about their height on dating apps (opinion of women on the internet, we are not saying anything!). She further wrote that her present self appreciates that he was "more honest than most guys on there". Not only this, she wrote in the caption - "Fumble of the century".&nbsp;The post got immense interaction on the internet as people got overwhelmed by the fact that the woman passed up a future major-city mayor over - for no reason.&nbsp;“Imagine fumbling the future Mayor of NYC because of his height," a TikTok user wrote.&nbsp;“I’m sure she cries herself to sleep most nights because this is exactly what I’d do," wrote another.&nbsp;Who is Zohran's wife? (Lucky woman!)&nbsp;Zohran and his wife, Rama Duwaji, met on Hinge in 2021. She is a 27-year-old and is illustrator and visual artist based in Brooklyn, New York. She is originally from Damascus, Syria. The brilliant woman holds a BFA in Communication Design from Virginia Commonwealth University and a Master’s in Illustration from the School of Visual Arts in New York.&nbsp;The couple married in 2025 at a civil ceremony at New York City's Clerk's office.
