<p>Avi Loeb, an Israeli-American theoretical physicist known for talking about aliens, now thinks that the interstellar comet spotted in the solar system is an artificial object sent by an advanced alien civilisation. The Harvard professor points out the cosmic object's trajectory, size and behaviour to suggest that it doesn't appear to be a natural space rock, and is likely a spacecraft. 3I/ATLAS is only the third known interstellar object ever recorded in our solar system. It was detected on July 1 by NASA's ATLAS telescope in Chile and has been classified as a comet. Loeb told Newsweek, "The retrograde orbital plane of 3I/ATLAS around the Sun lies within 5 degrees of that of Earth... The likelihood of that coincidence out of all random orientations is 0.2 per cent." However, other experts have quashed his claims, saying there is nothing that points to it being an alien probe. The comet has travelled from another star system. Scientists have said that it is probably even older than our solar system. It could have taken it billions of years to get here. But Loeb thinks that 3I/ATLAS is so large that it is extremely unlikely it could have naturally taken this journey to reach us. &nbsp;Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/science/interstellar-visitor-solar-system-is-only-the-third-other-two-objects-oumuamua-and-comet-with-huge-tail-1751518381560"><strong>Interstellar visitor spotted is only the third: One of the other two appeared to be an 'alien vessel'</strong></a></p><p>Also Read:<strong> </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/science/voyager-spacecraft-crossed-wall-of-fire-to-reach-interstellar-space-what-is-it-1749714537835"><strong>Voyager spacecraft crossed 'wall of fire' to reach interstellar space.

The Coldplay concert in Boston, Massachusetts will remain in people's mind for a very long time. Not particularly for the performance of the British rock band but for the 'kiss scam' involving former Astronomer CEO, Andy Byron with his HR head, Kristin Cabot. The cameraman while capturing the performance during the concert suddenly panned towards Byron and Kristin Cabot cozying up, leading to the moment becoming viral. The 'kiss scam' moment led to the company placing both Byron and Cabot on administrative leave pending an internal investigation on the potential breaches of company policies. Later, Byron stepped down from his position, and the company appointed COO Pete DeJoy as interim CEO. Why is Cabot still holding position? While Byron has resigned, Cabot, though on leave continues to hold the position. Therefore questions are being raised about why Cabot has not been asked to leave and is still listed on the company's leadership page. According to legal experts, handling different roles in the company and the liability concerns could be few possible reasons for Astronomer not terminating Cabot publicly, reported the New York Post. "In a real-world big company, you can't just fire someone because the headlines are ugly. There are likely contracts, internal investigations, and legal issues involved. If HR greenlit what happened with Coldplay, and there is a supporting paper trail, heads will likely roll. It just might take a few more days before the axe drops," said attorney Nicole Brenecki. While another lawyer believes the termination should not be difficult given the circumstance, but said the company may be negotiating an exit agreement with her. “If you were to look for a picture of ‘cause’ [for firing] in the dictionary, it would show a picture of the head of HR having a public affair with the CEO,” said Employment attorney William Cafaro to the New York Post.

Coldplay 'kiss cam' scandal: Can Astronomer fire HR head Kristin Cabot? Here's what legal experts say

<p>VS Achuthanandan, one of the tallest leaders of India's Communist movement, got a state funeral on Wednesday (July 23), with tens of thousands lining up in Kerala to bid final goodbye to their leader as a bus carrying his body snaked through the roads from the sothern state's capital Thiruvananthapuram to his final resting place in his hometown in Alapphuzha. In death, 'Comrade' Achuthanandan evoked the same sentiment of camaraderie and solidarity among the ordinary workers of Communist Party of India - Marxist (CPI-M), of which he was a founding member. Achuthandan, who died at the age of 101 on July 21, was the last surviving member of the group of 32 that walked out of the Communist Party of India (CPI) over ideological differences and founded the CPI-M. His demise is indeed the end of an era. Here is an analysis of his political life:</p><h2>Achuthanandan's death: A leader dedicated to social justice, even at the expense of losing positions in the party</h2><p>It would not be an exaggeration to say that many ordinary workers distanced themselves from CPI-M as they felt the party strayed from its founding principles. Achuthanandan, on the other hand, stayed in the party throughout his life, while acting as a voice of correction and trying to change the organisation from within. That stance was informed by his life of poverty and personal hardships.</p><h2>Achuthandan's childhood hardships informed his ideology</h2>

<p>Born on 20 October 1923 in Punnapra, Alappuzha in the erstwhile princely state of Travancore, Velikkakathu Sankaran Achuthanandan's formative years were marked by poverty, socio-political unrest in his land, and exposure to revolutionary ideas.&nbsp;He lost his mother, Accamma, at the age of four, and father Sankaran, at the age of 11. Having worked as a tailor and in the coir factory operator, Achuthanandan had a first-hand experience of the travails of the working classes of Kerala.</p><p>Having dropped out of school after completing the 7th standard, the Communist ideologies he imbibed from the legendary leader P Krishna Pillai became his main teachings in life.</p>

<h2>Achutanandan the leader was shaped through his blood and sweat: The Punnapra-Vayalar uprising and later struggles</h2><p>He formally entered politics in 1930s at a very young age, with trade union activities, joining the State Congress in 1938. Under the mentorship of Krishna Pillai, he joined CPI in 1940.</p><p>The most important of Achuthanan's political fights started even before India got independence: the Punnapra-Vayalar uprising of 1946. This workers’ revolt against the policies of Travancore Divan CP Ramaswamy Iyer, which took place before the formation of Kerala in 1956, is not only a formative event for Achuthanandan, but for the entire state. The workers and farmers wanted a responsible government, better wages and labour conditions. The police responded with brutality, with Achuthandan jailed, tortured, and a policeman even piercing his foot with a bionet. Hundreds of people died. Achuthandann, once left for dead, went into hiding and led the movement.</p><h2>Achuthandandan, a founder of India's CPI-M, &nbsp;was also its corrective force</h2>

<p>In 1962, at the height of the India-China war, Achuthandan defied CPI and organised blood donation drives for Indian soldiers. He was arrested and removed from the party’s state secretariat. Two years later, he became one of the 32 founding members of the CPI(M) after splitting from the CPI over ideological differences.</p><p>Between 1965 and 2016, Achuthanandan contested Kerala Assembly elections 10 times, winning seven times and losing thrice.</p><p>He was the CPI (M) state secretary, a powerful position in the party, in 1980–1992, during which he strengthened the party’s base in Kerala. In 1985, Achuthanandan was elected to the CPI(M) Politburo, the party's national decision-making body, serving until 2009. A constant presence in Kerala's politics, Achudanandan served as leader of Opposition in the 1990s–2000s for a record 15 years across three terms. In this period, he was a vocal force in movements for social and environmental justice, and women's empowerment.</p>

<h2>Achuthandan: The leader who ‘cut down’ crops and rivals</h2><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>His major movements include the 1990s anti-reclamation stir with the Kerala State Karshaka Thozhilali Union (KSKTU), highlighting paddy field conversion. He led parties that destroyed crops in what became known as 'vetti nirathal', literally cutting down. His methods were not liked by many leaders within the party, leading to factionalism.<br>In 1996, he suffered a surprising defeat in the Assembly election from Mararikulam.</p>

<h2>Achuthandan was a chief minister in waiting for many years</h2><p>A leader who deserved to be Kerala's chief minister several times, Achuthanandan served the top post of the state only once, that too at the fag end of his political career. He served the post in 2006–2011 at the age of 82, becoming the oldest person to assume the CM office in the state. It is considered that even as the chief minister, Achutanandan essentially acted as the 'Opposition leader', directly fighting several vested interests that were plundering the state's wealth and damaging its environment. His actions in this period included personally leading a demolition drive in the Munnar hill station to reclaim illegally occupied government land from resort owners and multinational corporations. He also led a demolition drive in Kochi MG Road to reclaim public land. Achuthanandan also fought the lottery mafia in the state.<br>While he was seen as 'old-world' by his critics, Achuthanandan is also credited with several industrial and technological initiatives, such as promoting free and open-source software in Kerala and integrating it into the public education system. When he was CM, Kerala witnessed IT export growth, surpassing the national average. He also started several techno parks in the state, making it one of the key players in software service exports.</p><h2>Achuthandan was dealt a raw deal by his own party</h2><p>Achutanandan always stood by his strong views on Communist and Marxist principles, which were the foundations of his political activism. At the height of power as a party organiser and chief minister, he cut down several of his rivals. His actions eventually contributed to factionalism in the party, with the other major group led by the current chief minister, Pinarayi Vijayan. In 2009, Achuthanandan was removed from the CPI (M) Politbureau in the wake of several differences with Vijayan.</p><p>His close staff members were also ousted by the Politburo.</p><p>In 2015, he walked out of the CPI(M) State conference in Alappuzha in protest against criticism from party delegates, returning to his ancestral home. Though he won from the Malampuzha constituency in the Assembly elections in 2016, Achuthanandan was not given the chief minister's post, citing, among other things, his advanced age. Eventually, Vijayan became the chief minister, and Achudanandan was appointed the chairman of the Kerala Administrative Reforms Commission, which his supporters saw as a demotion and sidelining.</p><p>In 2019, Achuthandan suffered a stroke, limiting public appearances, and in 2021, he stepped down as a legislator at the age 97. Achuthanandan holds the record for the eldest member of the Kerala Legislative Assembly.</p>

It would not be an exaggeration to say that many ordinary workers distanced themselves from CPI-M as they felt the party strayed from its founding principles. Achuthanandan, on the other hand, stayed in the party throughout his life

<p>Andy Byron, former Astronomer CEO, has been caught in another scandal after the Coldplay kiss cam fiasco. Social media is abuzz with reports that he interacted with OnlyFans creator Sophie Rain and spent up to $40,000 to have explicit video calls with the adult star. According to some posts, his wife, Megan Kerrigan, reportedly leaked his private messages with Rain. She has supposedly posted screenshots of the chats, exposing her husband's alleged online romp. However, the screenshots could not be verified, and neither could reports that Kerrigan shared them. Byron has been embroiled in a controversy that has led to his downfall at Astronomer. He resigned from his post after his affair with his HR chief, Kristin Cabot, went viral and became open for public consumption. The two were caught canoodling on the kiss cam at the Coldplay concert in Boston. As soon as the kiss cam panned to them, Byron ducked while Cabot turned away after they realised they were on it. The married tech honcho has not released any official statement on the matter yet. Cabot, meanwhile, has been placed on leave.

One message supposedly sent by former Astronomer CEO to Rain reads, "All good. Most guys I talk to are married." To this, Rain supposedly replied, "Okay, call me in 5 mins [winky face]." People have lapped up the latest controversy linked to Byron, with hashtags like #ColdplayGate, #SophieRain, and #Astronomer all over X, Instagram, and TikTok. Byron's downfall has triggered memes and posts mocking him. A user, reacting to the Sophie Rain episode, wrote, "Bro cashed in his 401(k) for feet pics." Another person commented, "OnlyFans?

According to some posts, his wife, Megan Kerrigan, reportedly leaked his private messages with Rain. She has supposedly posted screenshots of the chats, exposing her husband's alleged online romp. However, the screenshots could not be verified, and neither could reports that Kerrigan shared them. Byron has been embroiled in a controversy that has led to his downfall at Astronomer. He resigned from his post after his affair with his HR chief, Kristin Cabot, went viral and became open for public consumption. The two were caught canoodling on the kiss cam at the Coldplay concert in Boston. As soon as the kiss cam panned to them, Byron ducked while Cabot turned away after they realised they were on it. The married tech honcho has not released any official statement on the matter yet. Cabot, meanwhile, has been placed on leave.

Andy Byron's alleged chat with OnlyFans creator Sophie Rain According to the screenshots, Byron was involved in an online chat with the OnlyFans creator Rain. The posts show that Byron seemingly used a secretive messaging app known as Finsta to get in touch with her. He paid nearly $40,000 to have sexually explicit video calls with Rain. One message supposedly sent by former Astronomer CEO to Rain reads, "All good. Most guys I talk to are married." To this, Rain supposedly replied, "Okay, call me in 5 mins [winky face]." People have lapped up the latest controversy linked to Byron, with hashtags like #ColdplayGate, #SophieRain, and #Astronomer all over X, Instagram, and TikTok. Byron's downfall has triggered memes and posts mocking him. A user, reacting to the Sophie Rain episode, wrote, "Bro cashed in his 401(k) for feet pics." Another person commented, "OnlyFans? More like OnlyFired." Also Read: Astronomer takes action against Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot, refutes all rumours.

"I can not comment on who my clients and donors are, but this situation is crazy as it is. As a Christian, I don't condone this type of behaviour," Rain told The Blast in an exclusive statement. She added that she is there for his wife "if she needs a friend through these times." Rain also revealed her love for Coldplay and saying she is a "huge fan". She admitted that she was happy to see a cheater being exposed at the band's show.

People have been busy using the sensational story to make money, trying to gain views and clicks on parody accounts. Several social media handles changed their names to link themselves to the saga in some way. Someone switched their X handle to the name of a non-existent CBS News reporter and released an apology note with Byron's name on it. It was soon labelled fake. There has also been a supposed statement by Merrigan in which she thanked people for her support. However, this too could not be verified as coming from her.

<p>Humans have never seen dinosaurs in flesh and blood and have built on the fossils collected over the years. We have imagined them roaring and standing several feet taller than us. But a new study has suggested that not all dinosaurs were beasts. Scientists have discovered a group of herbivorous dinosaurs that looked like birds with feathers all over their bodies and tweeted like them, too. This is based on the research carried out on new fossilised dinosaur bones, which included parts of the voice box. Published in PeerJ by Chinese scientists, the study states the discovery of fossils belonging to a 2-foot-long new dinosaur species, Pulaosaurus qinglong. The species has been named after "Pulao," a mythical Chinese dragon known for a loud voice. The species belongs to Neornithischia, a subgroup of Ornithischia, a herbivorous dinosaurs whose pelvic region resembled birds.

The fossil belongs to an immature Pulaosaurus qinglong and was found extremely well preserved in the Upper Jurassic Tiaojishan Formation in Hebei Province. There is an almost full skeleton, comprising vertebrae, limbs, pelvis, bones of the larynx or voice box, and even some rare soft tissue structures. This is the first time neornithischian dinosaur specimens were found in this hotspot. Till now, only small theropods and early birds were studied from the region.

<p>Last year, Earth had a mini moon for a few weeks, and astronomers were all excited about it. Now a study has established that our planet has at least six such mini moons at any given time. A team os scientists from the US, Italy, Germany, Finland, and Sweden says that these cosmic objects are pieces of our actual moon which came apart following asteroid collisions. They are only around six feet in diameter and caught in the Earth's gravitational field. The authors noted that when the debris from the Moon was released from asteroid impacts, the larger chunks floated away. However, the smaller ones were pulled in and are in a somewhat stable orbit around Earth. These broken moon pieces, known as "lunar ejecta," orbit our planet for years before escaping. These temporarily bound objects (TBOs) then get caught in the Sun's gravity and start revolving around it. Some of them also crash into Earth or the Moon. More debris is released from the Moon and then undergoes the same process, as some of it ends up being Earth's new moons.

<p>While heavy rains lashed Philippines along with Typhoon Wipha, which resulted in massive flooding, a couple from the Philippines refused to let the weather put a damper on their special day. When incessant rains flooded their wedding venue, the Barasoain Church in Malolos, Bulacan province, the couple decided to go ahead with the ceremony rather than postponing it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>According to a report by news agency Associated Press (AP), it showed Jade Rick Verdillo and Jamaica Aguilar wading through the flooded aisle of the church, smiling, not letting the rain deter them on their wedding day.

<p>Their wedding pictures show the bride and groom's side standing on waters that were flooded just to be present at the ceremony. The bride, in her white wedding dress, took a wading path through the waters to walk down the aisle with her wedding train flowing behind her. At the altar, Verdillo waited to receive her in his white suit with pants rolled up to the knees. The couple who had been together for 10 years said the rains were just another test for their relationship.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>“I feel that challenges won’t be over. It’s just a test. This is just one of the struggles that we’ve overcome," the groom was quoted saying. The wedding was witnessed by attendees who were smiling through and through during the ceremony. &nbsp;“You will see love prevailed because even against weather, storm, rains, floods, the wedding continued. t’s an extraordinary wedding," a guest told AP.</p>

Rain or shine: Filipino couple says ‘I Do’ in flooded church after Typhoon Wipha

While heavy rains lashed Philippines along with Typhoon Wipha, which resulted in massive flooding, a couple from the Philippines refused to let the weather put a damper on their special day. When incessant rains flooded their wedding venue, the Barasoain Church in Malolos, Bulacan province, the couple decided to go ahead with the ceremony rather than postponing it. According to a report by news agency Associated Press (AP), it showed Jade Rick Verdillo and Jamaica Aguilar wading through the flooded aisle of the church, smiling, not letting the rain deter them on their wedding day. Though the couple knew flooding could be a risk because of continuous rain, they were surprised by the knee-high water, and they went ahead anyway, saying all marriages have their share of problems.

Singapore turned up as a frontrunner in Asia, as it provides visa-free entry to 193 destinations. While Japan and Korea both remain in the second position, each permits visa-free travel for 190 countries.



The Indian passport has made the largest jump, climbing eight places, from 85th to 77th, after dropping five spots last year, according to the Henley Passport Index 2025, unveiled on the 22nd of July 2025. This helped India gain two destinations to its visa-free tally, which makes it accessible to 59 countries. The list is shortlisted based on the number of destinations their holders can enter without having a prior visa. Countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, the Maldives, and Thailand are some countries that offer visa-free access to Indian passport holders. Countries such as Sri Lanka, Macau, and Myanmar offer a visa-on-arrival (VOA). According to Dr. Juerg Steffen, CEO of Henley & Partners, "Americans are now leading the demand worldwide for alternative residence and citizenship options, with British nationals also among the top five globally.

"Your passport is no longer just a travel document—it's a reflection of your country's diplomatic influence and international relationships. In an era of growing inequality and mounting geopolitical uncertainty, strategic mobility and citizenship planning are more critical than ever," said Steffen. How does Asia dominate in the world? The latest report from the Henley Passport Index disclosed a key transformation in mobility across the globe, where Asian countries are taking the lead when it comes to mobility across the world. Singapore emerges as a frontrunner as it provides visa-free entry to 193 destinations. While Japan and Korea remain competitive at the second spot, each permits visa-free travel for 190 countries. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia is standing at 91 destinations after adding four destinations since January, making it the biggest gain in visa-free access. China has experienced a significant rise of 34 places since 2015, climbing from 94th to 60th. Interestingly, it was achieved despite visa-free access to Europe's Schengen Area. Seven European countries—Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, and Spain—all tied at the 3rd spot, offering access to 189 destinations.

<p>The pilot of a Delta flight going at 96 km/hr had to push the brakes suddenly when, in a bizarre twist, an AeroMéxico plane flew over the first plane and landed right in front of it. The shocking incident at Benito Juarez International Airport is now under investigation. The two airlines have issued statements, saying passenger safety is their top priority. Delta Air Lines Boeing 737 jet was set to take off for Atlanta when it stopped on the runway after an AeroMéxico Embraer 190 regional jet landed right in front of it on the same runway. According to FlightRadar24, the two aircraft stood only about 200 feet apart from each other.

'UNBELIEVABLE': AeroMéxico plane lands right in front of Delta flight about to take off from same runway

<p>A lemon tree thief is the talk of the town in Brisbane. Someone stopped by a woman's front yard at around 4 in the morning, and uprooted an entire tree and drove off with it. The woman who lost the tree is now searching for the culprit, the woman who carried out the strange heist. The CCTV camera installed outside her house captured the entire incident. She posted several videos of the robbery on Instagram detailing what went down outside her house when it was still dark. Ineke McMahon, executive recruiter and career strategist, did not notice the tree was missing in the morning. She was leaving to drop her kid off at school on Friday morning and missed it at the time. After returning from school, Ineke was shocked to see that her lemon tree was missing. She then noticed a trail of dirt leading up the street. The rest was revealed by the CCTV footage.

The footage shows a white sedan driving past her home at 4:10 am. The car then turns around and stops near the door of one of Ineke's neighbours. A woman gets down from the vehicle (not visible on the camera), and enters the frame. She pulls on the lemon tree hard, removing it entirely from the ground and dashes away with it in the car. Ineke is heartbroken to have lost the lemon tree. She told Nine News that she had planted it around five months ago. The tree had started to bear fruit. Ineke added she wanted everyone in the neighbourhood to enjoy the fruits of the tree, especially to prepare gin and tonic. However, that dream has now been thwarted by the lemon tree thief.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>Lemon tree for gin and tonic</strong></h2><p>Ineke is trying to hunt down the thief and has posted footage of the incident on social media. The videos don't show the face of the culprit clearly. However, she thinks it is no one from around the neighbourhood and is likely a random person scouting for things to steal. When asked if she plans to replant the lemon tree, Ineke said she doesn't think she would.&nbsp;</p>

Brisbane lemon tree theft has become a viral topic on the internet. The woman had planted it so that everyone in the neighbourhood could enjoy gin and tonic with the lemons. She shared CCTV footage on Instagram with some great music, making it hilarious. 

A lemon tree thief is the talk of the town in Brisbane. Someone stopped by a woman's front yard at around 4 in the morning, and uprooted an entire tree and drove off with it. The woman who lost the tree is now searching for the culprit, the woman who carried out the strange heist. The CCTV camera installed outside her house captured the entire incident. She posted several videos of the robbery on Instagram detailing what went down outside her house when it was still dark. Ineke McMahon, executive recruiter and career strategist, did not notice the tree was missing in the morning. She was leaving to drop her kid off at school on Friday morning and missed it at the time. After returning from school, Ineke was shocked to see that her lemon tree was missing. She then noticed a trail of dirt leading up the street. The rest was revealed by the CCTV footage. Also Read: Irish scandal: Teen love culminates in old age wedding.

Lemon tree caught on camera The videos solved the mystery of what had happened to the lemon tree. The footage shows a white sedan driving past her home at 4:10 am. The car then turns around and stops near the door of one of Ineke's neighbours. A woman gets down from the vehicle (not visible on the camera), and enters the frame. She pulls on the lemon tree hard, removing it entirely from the ground and dashes away with it in the car. Ineke is heartbroken to have lost the lemon tree. She told Nine News that she had planted it around five months ago. The tree had started to bear fruit. Ineke added she wanted everyone in the neighbourhood to enjoy the fruits of the tree, especially to prepare gin and tonic. However, that dream has now been thwarted by the lemon tree thief. Lemon tree for gin and tonic Ineke is trying to hunt down the thief and has posted footage of the incident on social media. The videos don't show the face of the culprit clearly. However, she thinks it is no one from around the neighbourhood and is likely a random person scouting for things to steal. When asked if she plans to replant the lemon tree, Ineke said she doesn't think she would.

<p>While global warming is shrinking the world's ice, three glaciers in one of the remotest regions of the world are gaining ice. An astronaut captured them from the International Space Station (ISS), merging into one massive ice mass in the Karakoram mountain range. The Lolofond glacier, the Teram Shehr glacier, and the Siachen glacier are the three glaciers seen merging in the photo and together create the Karakoram anomaly. These glaciers are growing bigger, even though the rising temperatures in the world are threatening glaciers in Antarctica and the Arctic. Scientists have been baffled by the phenomenon for years and have racked their brains, trying to figure out what's going on with them. The Siachen Glacier in the eastern Karakoram is the longest glacier in the Karakoram and second-longest in the world's non-polar areas. It is located 18,875 ft above sea level and is 76 kilometres long and 3.5 kilometres wide at its broadest point. It has undergone some rapid changes which scientists have failed to explain.

Scientists have tried to explain the unusual growth in these glaciers with various theories; however, none of them have been confirmed. Some experts believe the local weather is making them grow. Others think the dust and dirt embedded in the glaciers’ moraines protect the ice from the global high temperatures. The photo captured from space shows these moraines, the parallel layers formed from rock and dust trapped between glaciers as they merge. The point where the Teram Shehr and a smaller unnamed tributary glacier meet the Siachen glacier shows the moraines most clearly.

It is extremely cold and replete with harsh weather. It is Earth’s highest battleground as India and Pakistan have troops stationed near the glacier despite the harsh weather. The extreme living conditions at the glacier have also led to several people losing their lives. The region witnesses very low temperatures, strong winds, and heavy snowfall. In winters, blizzards can continue for weeks here, with temperatures plummeting to -50°C. It is a source of freshwater for several people living near the region. Climate change is causing the glacier to melt. However, the Karakoram anomaly shows that some glaciers are becoming stable and even seeing growth. This could be because of the Western Disturbances that bring snowfall in winter, according to a study. However, a sureshot answer remains elusive.</p>

A photo of three glaciers in the Karakoram range taken from space shows them merging. These glaciers are growing even when others are melting because of climate change. Scientists have proposed various theories, but nothing conclusive.

The Siachen Glacier in the eastern Karakoram is the longest glacier in the Karakoram and second-longest in the world's non-polar areas. It is located 18,875 ft above sea level and is 76 kilometres long and 3.5 kilometres wide at its broadest point. It has undergone some rapid changes which scientists have failed to explain.

The Karakoram range stands on the borders of India, Pakistan, China, and Afghanistan. Scientists have tried to explain the unusual growth in these glaciers with various theories; however, none of them have been confirmed. Some experts believe the local weather is making them grow. Others think the dust and dirt embedded in the glaciers’ moraines protect the ice from the global high temperatures. The photo captured from space shows these moraines, the parallel layers formed from rock and dust trapped between glaciers as they merge. The point where the Teram Shehr and a smaller unnamed tributary glacier meet the Siachen glacier shows the moraines most clearly.

It is extremely cold and replete with harsh weather. It is Earth’s highest battleground as India and Pakistan have troops stationed near the glacier despite the harsh weather. The extreme living conditions at the glacier have also led to several people losing their lives. The region witnesses very low temperatures, strong winds, and heavy snowfall. In winters, blizzards can continue for weeks here, with temperatures plummeting to -50°C. It is a source of freshwater for several people living near the region. Climate change is causing the glacier to melt. However, the Karakoram anomaly shows that some glaciers are becoming stable and even seeing growth. This could be because of the Western Disturbances that bring snowfall in winter, according to a study. However, a sureshot answer remains elusive.

<p>A photo of three glaciers in the Karakoram range taken from space shows them merging. These glaciers are growing even when others are melting because of climate change. Scientists have proposed various theories, but nothing conclusive.</p>

Scientists don't know why glaciers in world's most dangerous region are growing

<p>A porn actor who killed a couple, decapitated them and packed their body parts in suitcases before dumping them at a popular site in London has been caught on camera dancing naked after committing the crime. Yostin Andres Mosquera, a Colombian national, was convicted on Tuesday of murdering Paul Longworth and his partner, Albert Alfonso, in their apartment last year. The murders became national headlines. Mosquera was involved in a sexual relationship with one of the men. The video shows Mosquera covered in blood, dancing naked and accessing the bank details on their computer. It also clearly shows him battering Longworth with a hammer and taunting Alfonso while repeatedly stabbing him. “Do you like it?” Mosquera says to Alfonso, after killing Longworth with a hammer and hiding his body under bed covers. He dismembered the two men, put their body parts in two suitcases and their heads in a freezer.

<p>Ashley Madison, the global dating platform infamous for getting married people hooked on extramarital affairs, has released the list of top 20 Indian districts with the most number of illicit relationships. The top slot has been claimed by a rather unconventional small town in southern India, leaving behind major metropolitan cities. Kanchipuram, a town in Tamil Nadu, has been crowned the extramarital affair capital of India, according to the June 2025 data. The small town made a big leap last year, jumping from 17th spot to bag the first position. Ashley Madison did not reveal the reason for this massive jump, although the app's reach in tier-2 and tier-3 cities seems to have bolstered their access to extramarital affairs. However, the biggest impression was left by the Delhi-NCR region, which claimed nine spots in the list. Surprisingly, another major metro city doesn't even feature in the top 20.

Notably, Mumbai did not make it to top 20. The other smaller cities that feature include Jaipur, Chandigarh, Raigarh and Kamrup.

Ashley Madison reveals EXTRA-MARITAL AFFAIR capital of India; Delhi covers most bases, and Mumbai...

<p>Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) surprised commuters who were taking a busy tram ride. A video going viral online shows Al Maktoum waiting at the station for the tram before boarding it along with fellow passengers. The clip was first posted on TikTok and was later reposted by Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) on Instagram. A Dubai resident shot the video, showing the Dubai Sheikh getting on the tram and travelling without making any fuss about his presence. He was supposedly heading home from work. Another video shows him casually standing in the corner near the door with other commuters. Sheikh Mohammed's tram ride was part of his efforts to monitor the development and operations of public transport in Dubai.</p><h2><strong>The Dubai tram</strong></h2><p>Sheikh Mohammed has often been seen on public transport systems, enjoying the sky-high buildings and picturesque views of Dubai. In 2023, he got on the gold cabin of a Dubai Metro train, along with his entourage, near the Dubai Mall station. The Dubai Tram started in 2014 and has ferried more than 60 million passengers since then. It travels from Al Sufouh Station to Jumeirah Lakes Towers Station in 42 minutes. The tram covers 11 stations along Al Sufouh Road, connecting areas like the Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Knowledge Village, Dubai Media City, Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR), and Dubai Marina.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Sheikh Mohammed is the current ruler of Dubai and also serves as the vice president of UAE. He succeeded his brother Maktoum bin Rashid Al Maktoum in all three roles after his death in 2006. He received military training after completing his studies, returning to Dubai at the age of 20. His father, Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, appointed him as the head of the Dubai Police Force and the Dubai Defence Force. He has also trained as a pilot in Italy.<br>&nbsp;</p>

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum was seen taking the tram in Dubai recently. Two videos showing him waiting at the station and then on the train with other passengers are circulating online. He stood at the door with other passengers.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) surprised commuters who were taking a busy tram ride. A video going viral online shows Al Maktoum waiting at the station for the tram before boarding it along with fellow passengers. The clip was first posted on TikTok and was later reposted by Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) on Instagram. A Dubai resident shot the video, showing the Dubai Sheikh getting on the tram and travelling without making any fuss about his presence. He was supposedly heading home from work. Another video shows him casually standing in the corner near the door with other commuters. Sheikh Mohammed's tram ride was part of his efforts to monitor the development and operations of public transport in Dubai. The Dubai tram Sheikh Mohammed has often been seen on public transport systems, enjoying the sky-high buildings and picturesque views of Dubai. In 2023, he got on the gold cabin of a Dubai Metro train, along with his entourage, near the Dubai Mall station. The Dubai Tram started in 2014 and has ferried more than 60 million passengers since then. It travels from Al Sufouh Station to Jumeirah Lakes Towers Station in 42 minutes. The tram covers 11 stations along Al Sufouh Road, connecting areas like the Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Knowledge Village, Dubai Media City, Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR), and Dubai Marina. Sheikh Mohammed is the current ruler of Dubai and also serves as the vice president of UAE. He succeeded his brother Maktoum bin Rashid Al Maktoum in all three roles after his death in 2006. He received military training after completing his studies, returning to Dubai at the age of 20. His father, Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, appointed him as the head of the Dubai Police Force and the Dubai Defence Force. He has also trained as a pilot in Italy.

<p>The unexpected resignation of Indian Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Monday (Jul 21) evening has triggered a fresh round of political sparring, with Opposition leaders questioning both the timing and the nature of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's response. In an X post, on Tuesday (Jul 22), Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh took aim at Prime Minister Modi's brief message on social media, calling him out for the lack of "magnanimity" and suggesting that Dhankhar's resignation as forced and that the "kisanputra was not even being given a dignified farewell."</p><h2><strong>'Dignified farewell' denied?</strong></h2><p>Congress leader Jairam Ramesh alleged that "the PM's non-post on X regarding Shri Jagdeep Dhankar's forced resignation has only added to the mystery of his abrupt exit."

The kisanputra is being denied even a dignified farewell."</p><p>PM Modi on Tuesday acknowledged Dhankhar's departure, but his message was notably formal and lacked the usual warmth seen in his past send-offs for other dignitaries. "Shri Jagdeep Dhankhar Ji has got many opportunities to serve our country in various capacities, including as the Vice President of India.

<p>Air France is raising eyebrows for siding with a white passenger who did not want to sit next to a Black passenger on the plane. The flight was going from Paris to Washington Dulles, where an attendant changed the white passenger's seat because he was uncomfortable. It started when a female passenger notified the flight attendant that her seatback entertainment screen wasn’t working. She was asked to switch to another seat, after which she moved to a new coach middle. However, the man next to her was unhappy with her sitting there. The Airbus A350 crew checked the entertainment system and restarted it twice. However, it failed to buzz up. The flight was 8 hours and 35 minutes long, and the woman couldn't have gone without it for such a long duration.

The man was visibly upset about her being there and called the flight attendant. He complained to her about the seat change and the woman next to him.

Air France asked a Black woman to change her seat twice, first because her in-flight entertainment unit wasn't working, and then again when a white passenger next to her complained about her taking the empty seat next to him.

<p>A Delta pilot failed a breathalyser test before the plane was about to take off, leading to cancellation of the flight. All the passengers will now be given a cash compensation of $705. The incident happened on Delta flight 205 going from Stockholm to New York JFK. It was an American female pilot who was caught during random alcohol testing. According to the European Union Aviation Safety Agency mandate, random alcohol testing should be carried out for pilots and cabin crew operating out of EU member states under regulation 2018/1042. Now each passenger will get a payout calculated based on the length of the delay in arrival caused by the act and the distance of the flight. A total of 198 passengers were supposed to fly to the US, which means Delta is set to lose &nbsp;$139,590. This charge is over and above what Delta AirLine would have to give them for accommodation and meals.

Another flight had to be cancelled because the captain was found to be drunk in 2023.

Their blood alcohol limit should be .04.

The pilot of a Delta plane going from Stockholm to New York had high alcohol level in his blood and was arrested. The female pilot was caught when a random alcohol test was carried out, which is mandated by European laws. Similar incidents of pilots being drunk have been reported in the past.
