Is Mars secretly controlling Earth’s climate and what scientists actually know

While Mars doesn't directly control Earth's climate, its gravity subtly influences our planet's orbit and tilt over vast timescales. These predictable orbital shifts, affecting sunlight distribution, have historically driven ice ages. Scientists emphasize this gravitational nudge is distinct from rapid, human-caused global warming, offering crucial context for understanding Earth's long-term climate history.

Rs 8.6 Crore For 4 Matches: Australian Cricketer Becomes IPL 2026 Auction Talk

IPL 2026 mini-auction provided one of the day’s biggest surprises when Australian wicketkeeper-batsman Josh Inglis sparked an intense bidding war, ultimately selling to Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) for a whopping ₹8.6 crore. The sale dramatically exceeded his base price of ₹2 crore and defied the widely held expectation that he might go unsold due to a major constraint. Inglis, a star performer in the T20 circuit, announced ahead of the auction that he would be available for a maximum of only four matches of the upcoming IPL season. This severely limited availability is due to a personal commitment: the Australian star is getting married during IPL Season 19. Franchises typically shy away from such highly constrained players, yet teams were clearly undeterred. The fierce bidding battle demonstrated that top-tier talent, even for short durations, is worth a significant premium. JOSH INGLIS SOLD TO LUCKNOW SUPERGIANTS 🩵 AT 8.60 CRORE INR 🔥 Round 1 - UNSOLD ☹️Round 2 - Sold to LSG at 8.60 CR INR 🤑- Josh Inglis will be available for just 4 matches in IPL 2026 😨- What's your take 🤔 #IPLAuction pic.twitter.com/vH4iOaGtuU — Richard Kettleborough (@RichKettle07) December 16, 2025 Punjab Kings, who had valued his contributions in their previous season’s final run, ultimately chose not to retain him, possibly hoping to pick him up cheaply or factoring in his absence. However, LSG saw the immense value he could provide in those crucial early games. Lucknow Super Giants’ aggressive bid signifies their belief in Inglis’s ability to deliver high-impact performances immediately. As a destructive middle-order player who can accelerate quickly, his availability for four key matches is seen as a worthwhile investment. LSG will be banking on the Australian’s firepower to set a strong platform for their campaign before he departs for his wedding, proving that in the IPL, even a few games of world-class quality are worth millions.

From Unsold Shock To Crores: Liam Livingstone Gets Big Payday From SRH's Kavya Maran

The unpredictable nature of IPL auction was never more apparent than in the case of English all-rounder Liam Livingstone. After the surprising setback of going unsold during the initial marquee sets, the explosive batsman returned in the accelerated round to ignite a ferocious bidding war, ultimately landing with Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) for a massive ₹13 crore. Livingstone's failure to find a buyer in the first round had sent ripples of shock through the auction room, despite his proven reputation as one of T20 cricket’s most powerful hitters and a valuable dual-spin bowling option. However, the momentary lull proved to be advantageous for franchises with deeper pockets remaining later in the day. #SunrisersHyderabad outbid #LSG in a fierce bidding battle to bring in power-hitter Liam Livingstone for 13 Cr! 🧡💥Big boost to Sunrisers Hyderabad⚡🔥#TATAIPLAuction 2026 | LIVE NOW 👉 https://t.co/NZ92stKxPU pic.twitter.com/DoSQcDSNVc — Star Sports (@StarSportsIndia) December 16, 2025 The second time his name was called, the pursuit was immediate and aggressive. The contest quickly narrowed down to a thrilling battle between SRH, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). LSG showed immense desire to acquire the multi-skilled player, driving price past the ₹10 crore mark, but their purse constraints eventually proved fatal. Having exhausted a significant portion of their funds earlier, LSG were forced to withdraw, leaving path clear for SRH. For Sunrisers Hyderabad, this ₹13 crore acquisition is a strategic triumph. They have successfully added a world-class finisher to their batting lineup. Livingstone’s overall IPL career statistics - over 1,000 runs at a phenomenal strike rate exceeding 158 - confirm his high-impact value. His ability to bowl both leg-spin and off-spin also provides the tactical flexibility that SRH's coaching staff, led by head coach Daniel Vettori, highly prioritizes. SRH's key buys in IPL 2026 Auction (so far) Liam Livingstone – ₹13.00 Crore Shivam Mavi – ₹75 Lakh Salil Arora – ₹1.50 Crore Shivang Kumar – ₹30 Lakh Sakib Hussain – ₹30 Lakh Onkar Tarmale – ₹30 Lakh Amit Kumar – ₹30 Lakh Praful Hinge – ₹30 Lakh Krains Fuletra – ₹30 Lakh

Watch: Bride Kisses Ex-Boyfriend 2 Hours Before Wedding, Video Triggers Online Debate

A highly 'emotional' video showing a bride meeting her ex-boyfriend just two hours before her wedding has triggered an intense debate on social media. Shared widely on Instagram, the clip captures a final farewell between the two, including an embrace and a kiss, moments before the bride was due to marry another man. The video has drawn strong reactions online, with many users expressing sympathy for the groom, questioning the bride’s decision, and debating whether the clip was genuine or staged for social media engagement. Moment Captured On Camera The video, posted on December 13 on the Instagram handle @chalte_phirte098, shows a young woman identified as Shreya arriving at a location called “Vaishnav Chemist” in full bridal attire. She is seen travelling in a car driven by a friend and speaking to her former partner over the phone to coordinate the meeting point.           View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by Aarav mavi (@chalte_phirte098) As Shreya steps out of the vehicle, her friend addresses the camera directly, explaining the situation.

He further claims that Shreya was marrying under pressure from her family, a statement that intensified reactions once the clip began circulating online. The emotional exchange between the bride and her ex-boyfriend, including a hug and a kiss, forms the central moment of the video and has become the focus of widespread discussion. Social Media Reaction The clip quickly attracted thousands of comments, with several dominant reactions emerging. Many users expressed sympathy for the groom, calling the situation unfair and emotionally distressing for the man she was about to marry. Others questioned the bride’s choice, asking why she would proceed with the wedding if she still had strong feelings for her former partner.

At the same time, a section of users expressed scepticism, pointing to dramatic framing and camera angles as possible signs that the video was staged.

Despite these doubts, the video continues to circulate widely, fuelling ongoing debate over personal choices, emotional honesty and the ethics of sharing such moments on social media.

IPL 2026 Auction: Who Is Mangesh Yadav? RCB Buys Player For 17 Times His Base Price

The IPL 2026 mini-auction saw a dramatic rise in value for uncapped domestic talent, exemplified by sale of Mangesh Yadav to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) for a massive ₹5.20 crore. The 23-year-old pacer, who entered the auction at a humble base price of ₹30 lakh, saw his price multiply more than 17 times over, highlighting the desperation of franchises to acquire specific skill sets. The bidding for Yadav, a burgeoning star from Madhya Pradesh, turned into a thrilling two-way battle between RCB and the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). Both franchises were visibly eager to acquire the versatile bowler, but it was RCB who showed superior financial commitment, pushing the bid past the ₹5 crore mark, where SRH ultimately pulled out. 🚨Mangesh Yadav a left arm fast bowler he was in supreme form In Madhya Pradesh league T20Our scouts did a good job and it is reflecting in today auction 👏 a good buypic.twitter.com/BBZOCmwqXp — Royal Champions Bengaluru (@RCBtweetzz) December 16, 2025 Mangesh Yadav’s astronomical price tag is primarily attributed to him being a left-arm fast bowler. In T20 cricket, left-arm pacers are gold dust, offering a unique angle that poses serious challenges for right-handed batsmen, particularly during the powerplay. Coupled with his ability as a capable lower-order batsman, Yadav provides the highly valuable skill set of an Indian all-rounder, offering crucial balance to the squad. The pacer's recent exploits in domestic cricket, where he has demonstrated both wicket-taking ability and economy, justified the bidding war. By securing Yadav, RCB has successfully plugged a crucial bowling gap and invested heavily in a high-potential domestic asset. The team will now look to Mangesh Yadav to translate his domestic form into consistent, match-winning performances on the grand stage of the IPL.

19-Minute Viral Video: Why ‘40-Minute Video’ Is Suddenly Trending Online

After the controversy surrounding the so-called “19-minute viral video”, a new keyword has taken over the internet-the “40-minute viral video”. From social media platforms to Google search, users are actively looking for it. However, despite the surge in interest, there is no verified or authentic video of this kind in existence. Experts say the trend is not based on reality but is a dangerous mix of curiosity, rumours and clickbait that is spreading rapidly online. How Did The ‘40-Minute Video’ Trend Begin? The origins of this trend are linked to the earlier “19-minute viral video” controversy, which triggered massive outrage on social media. That episode involved claims of a leaked private clip, in which influencer Sweet Zannat was wrongly associated. As the “19-minute” keyword began getting flagged, cyber fraudsters and clickbait pages started creating similar search terms to exploit public curiosity. This is how the phrase “40-minute viral video” emerged, often promoted with misleading claims such as “full leaked video”. Why Experts Call It A ‘Digital Ghost’ In reality, the “40-minute viral video” does not refer to a single piece of content. It is what experts describe as a “digital ghost”- something people search for simply because others appear to be talking about it. No one knows what the video supposedly contains, who it belongs to or where it exists. Yet, users continue to click, helping the trend grow further through speculation alone. Where Is It Being Searched The Most? According to Google Trends data, searches for the “40-minute viral video” are highest in Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Telangana, Delhi and West Bengal. This indicates how widely misinformation and confusion have spread across regions. Why The trend Is Dangerous Cyber experts warn that such viral keywords are commonly used for online scams. Clicking on these links can redirect users to phishing websites, install malware on devices, steal social media or banking details, or trap users on fake, ad-heavy pages. Since there is no official source, users often do not realise they have fallen into a cyber trap. Police And Cyber Cell Warning Haryana NCB cyber cell officer Amit Yadav has warned that such content may be generated using artificial intelligence. He said that viewing, saving or sharing such material could also amount to an offence. Action may be taken under IPC Sections 67, 67A and 66, which can attract fines of up to Rs 2 lakh or imprisonment of up to three years. Is there Really A 40-Minute Video? No. There is no real or verified 40-minute video. The trend is simply a collection of fake claims, misleading thumbnails and rumours. Not every viral trend is real. Clicking on links out of curiosity can be risky, and terms like “leaked video” are often used as bait in cyber fraud networks. Staying alert is the only safeguard.
