Hot rocky Exoplanets may be able to retain a thick atmosphere of water, according to scientists, who say the discovery should help the search for habitable worlds. University of Chicago and Stanford University researchers created computer models to explore ways hot, rocky worlds could hold on to their atmospheres for a long time. Thousands of exoplanets have been discovered, including a growing number of terrestrial, Earth or Mars like worlds that have molten hot surfaces and were once covered in a cloak of hydrogen, making them appear slightly smaller than Neptune. These ‘sub-Neptune’ worlds likely lost their atmosphere within a few hundred million years of…

Among all the wonderful scientific achievements in 2022, astronomers have found more than 300 exoplanets – planets that are outside our solar system. NASA confirmed in March that there are now more than 5,000 known exoplanets, but this is only a small fraction of those that exist in the Milky Way alone. As of Thursday, this number now stands at 5,235 – up 351 from exactly a year ago – although experts have discovered new facts about already-known exoplanets too. Here are some of the best exoplanet discoveries this year, including the gas giant with the density of a marshmallow and another that’s still ‘in the womb’…

Criticism in victory is fuelling Man United’s recovery under Erik ten Hag, a manager dissatisfied after a 3-0 home win. As influential as Luke Shaw was on Tuesday night, starting and finishing one attack and pinging the ball with the precision of Kevin de Bruyne for Manchester United’s third goal, he often went walkabout in the 37 minutes in between. That was not lost on Erik ten Hag. “I had the feeling [in the] second half some had the feeling the game is gone and the game is never gone. You saw the reaction of the opponent, they still believed in it and if…

Los Angeles Lakers head coach Darvin Ham has preached the importance of defense from the day he was hired and guard Patrick Beverley is the spearhead of that on the court for the team. On Monday night against the Charlotte Hornets, Beverley was matched up for much of the contest with talented All-Star guard LaMelo Ball and he made life extremely difficult. Beverley totaled three blocks on the night while Ball struggled from the field, hitting just 9-of-22 shots and 3-of-10 from 3-point range. The Lakers also forced Ball into five turnovers in their six-point win over the Hornets. Following the…

The idea of intentionally smashing a spacecraft into an asteroid may evoke memories of science fiction blockbusters such as Armageddon or Deep Impact. But it became a reality last week, as NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft soared into a  small asteroid called Dimorphos at 14,000mph, with the aim of tweaking its orbit. The space agency hopes the technology could one day be used to defend Earth against a ‘doomsday’ asteroid or comet. But could we really avoid a future Armageddon if we detected a huge space rock headed our way? MailOnline’s Executive Science and Technology Editor, Shivali Best, investigates. Could…
