Plematologists are still trying 00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:37.140 to understand the cause of what became known 00:00:37.140 --> 00:00:43.240 as the Great Frost. So now you know.

How they got there, though, 00:05:12.550 --> 00:05:14.850 might have been an act of divine intervention. 00:05:16.069 --> 00:05:19.170 Ravens kicker Tyler Loop sliced a kick wide right 00:05:19.170 --> 00:05:22.089 of the uprights as time expired, gifting the 00:05:22.089 --> 00:05:24.750 Steelers the win and answering the prayers of 00:05:24.750 --> 00:05:28.870 many Steelers faithful. Prior to the game, a 00:05:28.870 --> 00:05:31.730 priest was seen blessing an end zone with holy 00:05:31.730 --> 00:05:34.970 water, the same end zone where Loop's missed 00:05:34.970 --> 00:05:38.899 field goal try occurred. With this victory, Pittsburgh 00:05:38.899 --> 00:05:42.399 secured the last remaining ticket to the 2025 00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:46.319 NFL playoffs. Pittsburgh will defend home turf 00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:49.519 against the Houston Texans on January 13th in 00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:53.079 the wild card round. And now the NFL playoff 00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:55.980 picture is heating up with six wild card matchups 00:05:55.980 --> 00:06:00.480 showcasing thrilling drama. The Packers and Bears 00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:03.180 rivalry resumes after splitting recent games. 00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:06.199 while the Bills face Jackson Bills' league -leading 00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:10.459 defense. Justin Herbert seeks his first playoff 00:06:10.459 --> 00:06:13.879 win against a Patriots team that finished second 00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:18.420 in the AFC. The Texans arrive in Pittsburgh riding 00:06:18.420 --> 00:06:22.040 a nine -game winning streak. And with Matthew 00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:25.180 Stafford making an MV Key case, the Rams aim 00:06:25.180 --> 00:06:29.560 to rebound against the Panthers. In local sports, 00:06:30.509 --> 00:06:33.670 The Denver Broncos secure the American Football 00:06:33.670 --> 00:06:37.389 Conference's top playoff seed with a 19 -3 victory 00:06:37.389 --> 00:06:41.410 over the Los Angeles Chargers' backups. The Chargers 00:06:41.410 --> 00:06:44.069 struggled, committing two turnovers and ending 00:06:44.069 --> 00:06:48.509 two drives with turnovers on downs. Broncos kicker 00:06:48.509 --> 00:06:51.490 Will Lutz went four for four on field goals, 00:06:51.949 --> 00:06:54.250 tying the franchise record for most victories 00:06:54.250 --> 00:06:58.610 in a season with 14. Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh 00:06:58.610 --> 00:07:01.829 focused on their upcoming wild card game against 00:07:01.829 --> 00:07:07.689 New England. In top news, going meat -free for 00:07:07.689 --> 00:07:10.550 just a few weeks can trigger surprising changes, 00:07:10.910 --> 00:07:13.689 from gut bacteria shifts to lower cholesterol. 00:07:14.990 --> 00:07:17.230 Research suggests that brief periods without 00:07:17.230 --> 00:07:20.069 meat can lead to weight loss, improved heart 00:07:20.069 --> 00:07:23.029 health, and changes in gut and immune systems. 00:07:24.090 --> 00:07:26.990 Replacing calorie -dense meats with fiber -rich 00:07:26.990 --> 00:07:30.310 plant foods can help reduce overeating and promote 00:07:30.310 --> 00:07:33.970 weight loss. Studies indicate that vegetarian 00:07:33.970 --> 00:07:36.709 diets can lower blood pressure and cholesterol 00:07:36.709 --> 00:07:41.209 levels, reducing the risk of heart disease. Additionally, 00:07:41.649 --> 00:07:44.189 early findings suggest that a plant -based diet 00:07:44.189 --> 00:07:48.329 may enhance immune function. However, experts 00:07:48.329 --> 00:07:50.910 caution that smart food choices are essential 00:07:50.910 --> 00:07:56.290 for optimal health.

And now, back to the show. Let's talk 00:09:55.580 --> 00:09:58.779 science. Scientists have just measured the mass 00:09:58.779 --> 00:10:02.000 of a rogue planet about the same size as Saturn 00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:05.639 for the first time. These planets drift through 00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:08.460 interstellar space without a star, making them 00:10:08.460 --> 00:10:12.299 challenging to study. Led by Subodhan of Peking 00:10:12.299 --> 00:10:15.419 University, the research team analyzed how the 00:10:15.419 --> 00:10:18.299 planet's gravity bent light from a distant star. 00:10:19.240 --> 00:10:21.899 This microlensing event was observed from both 00:10:21.899 --> 00:10:25.059 Earth and the now retired Gaia Space Observatory. 00:10:26.179 --> 00:10:28.419 The study marks a breakthrough for understanding 00:10:28.419 --> 00:10:31.720 these mysterious cosmic bodies, with hopes for 00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:34.620 further research using NASA's Nancy Grace Roman 00:10:34.620 --> 00:10:37.500 Space Telescope, set to launch in September. 00:10:41.479 --> 00:10:45.259 Entertainment news. William H. Macy, one of the 00:10:45.259 --> 00:10:48.620 stars of Dan Fogelman's upcoming NFL drama on 00:10:48.620 --> 00:10:51.220 Hulu, pulled the curtain a bit on the series, 00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:55.659 which had been shrouded in secrecy. Macy revealed 00:10:55.659 --> 00:10:58.659 the title and setting of the anticipated series, 00:10:58.940 --> 00:11:01.759 saying it's about a football team, nominally 00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:05.600 the Cleveland Browns. It's called the land, because 00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:09.169 that's what people from Cleveland call it. He 00:11:09.169 --> 00:11:11.990 expressed his excitement, stating, The plots 00:11:11.990 --> 00:11:15.070 are so profound, and I'm having the time of my 00:11:15.070 --> 00:11:18.990 life. The series features Chris Maloney as the 00:11:18.990 --> 00:11:21.850 head coach, with Macy playing the team owner. 00:11:23.210 --> 00:11:26.370 Macy added, The NFL is completely behind our 00:11:26.370 --> 00:11:30.789 show, so we've got complete access. Well, all 00:11:30.789 --> 00:11:33.470 righty, folks. It's time for the quote of the 00:11:33.470 --> 00:11:37.710 day. And today... Our quote comes from the American 00:11:37.710 --> 00:11:41.889 inventor and visionary, Buckminster Fuller. And 00:11:41.889 --> 00:11:45.210 he said, you never change things by fighting 00:11:45.210 --> 00:11:48.429 the existing reality. To change something, build 00:11:48.429 --> 00:11:51.549 a new model that makes the existing model obsolete. 00:11:53.330 --> 00:11:56.590 And that's a wrap for this morning. You can check 00:11:56.590 --> 00:12:00.330 out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some 00:12:00.330 --> 00:12:03.590 captivating aerial videos with local news and 00:12:03.590 --> 00:12:07.139 the surf reports.
