Creating rocky planets is a messy, dangerous, hot business. Planetesimals accrete together, which creates heat and pressure on the newborn world. The nearby adolescent star bombards them with intense radiation. That likely “bakes off” any surface oceans, lakes, or rivers, which is a disaster if you’re looking for places where life might arise or exist. That’s because life needs water and planets around these stars are among the most likely to harbor life. But, that doesn’t look too hopeful if the radiation steams the water away. Scientists at the University of Cambridge in the UK created a complex model that…
The people of Chelyabinsk in Russia got the surprise of their lives on the morning of February 15, 2013. That’s when a small asteroid exploded overhead. The resulting shockwave damaged buildings, injured people, and sent a sonic boom thundering across the region. The Chelyabinsk impactor was about 20 meters across. It broke up in the atmosphere in an airburst and sent a shower of debris across the landscape. The event awakened people to the dangers of incoming space debris. Since we experience frequent warnings about near-Earth objects, scientists want to understand what a piece of space rock can do. These…
Sunsets provide some of the most beautiful natural imagery anywhere on Earth. People flock from all over to see sunsets at specific places at specific times, such as when they perfectly align down a street in Manhattan. But sunsets on other planets wouldn’t be nearly as spectacular. You wouldn’t even be able to see it on Venus, where the sulfuric acid clouds would completely obscure the event. And on Mercury, it would take excruciatingly long, not to mention its sheer intensity would blind you if you tried to watch it. The gas giants farther out in our solar system suffer…
One of the most exciting aspects of the current era of space exploration (Space Age 2.0) is how time-honored ideas are finally being realized. Some of the more well-known examples include retrievable and reusable rockets, retrieval at sea, mid-air retrieval, single-stage-to-orbit (SSTO) rockets, and kinetic launch systems. In addition, there are also efforts to develop propulsion systems that do not rely on conventional propellants. This technology offers many advantages, including lower mass and improved energy efficiency, ultimately leading to lower costs. On June 10th, 2023, an all-electrical propulsion system for satellites (the IVO Quantum Drive) will fly to space for…
Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham, Barcelona, Real Madrid and PSG are unsurprisingly among the big-name clubs that boast the most valuable players in world football. But Liverpool representation is conspicuously absent from the list of the 20 most valuable footballers in Europe. Jurgen Klopp’s squad doesn’t feature any of the most highly-valued players in the sport right now – while they’ll have to pay a pretty penny to land top target Jude Bellingham. Bellingham is valued at €110million. That makes the Borussia Dortmund midfielder the fourth most valuable player in the world at this moment. Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka…
March 19, 2023 Speaking to Téléfoot, former France captain Hugo Lloris (36) has backed Kylian Mbappé (24) to succeed him as captain of Les Bleus. Lloris is France’s most-capped player of all time. The Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper overtook Lillian Thuram’s previous record of 142 caps during the recent FIFA World Cup in Qatar, during which France reached the final. However, just after the tournament, Lloris announced his retirement from the national team. Didier Deschamps is taking his time in naming his new captain, but he will have to do so soon with the qualifiers for the UEFA European Championships approaching. Despite being just…

Although Ligue 1 is generally dominated by Paris Saint-Germain, there has been the occasional surprise where players from other teams pulled off the unimaginable. That was not the case in 2021-22, though, as Kylian Mbappe saw off Wissam Ben Yedder, Martin Terrier and Moussa Dembele to win the Ligue 1 Golden Boot. Mbappe is among the favourites to win the coveted individual trophy once more this term, but he faces plenty of competition. There’s PSG team-mates Lionel Messi and Neymar who have…
Saint West is one happy boy after meeting Kylian Mbappé during the last day of his ‘soccer tour’ (Picture: Instagram) Saint West couldn’t have had a bigger smile on his face during an exclusive meet and greet with the legendary Kylian Mbappé. The youngster, seven, is currently living his best life while being whisked around Europe on a ‘soccer tour’ with his mum Kim Kardashian, 42, and a group of his friends. Despite already making us all jealous with a FaceTime call from Bukayo Saka following Arsenal’s draw against sporting Sporting Lisbon on Thursday, Saint hit the jackpot once again with an in-person…
Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Newcastle United are keen on a La Liga star, according to transfer insider Dean Jones. It was only last season that La Liga President Javier Tebas was describing how Barcelona star Ansu Fati was “equal to Kylian Mbappe”. Yet fast forward to 2023 and there seems serious doubt about whether the player will even remain with Barcelona beyond this term. It was a stretch to put Fati into that bracket anyway at the time, but the notion was understandable: here was a player who had burst onto the scene at one of the biggest clubs in the world with…

Soмe skeptics would haʋe you Ƅelieʋe that the Roswell UFO crash set the trend for reporting this type of strange eʋent. But that’s not true. 6.
