He’s only gone and done it again. Karim Benzema scored another hat-trick for Real Madrid in Wednesday night’s emphatic 4-0 win over Barcelona in the Copa del Rey – and he did so while fasting for Ramadan. The 35-year-old forward, who is currently observing Ramadan as part of his Muslim faith, has previously spoken about taking part in the holy month of fasting. Speaking to Esquire last year, he revealed that taking part in Ramadan has no impact on his game. “Ramadan is part of my life and my religion makes Ramadan an obligation,” he said: “For me, it’s very important and…
Radiation resistance of microbes is a key parameter in considering survivability of microbes over geologic times on the frigid, arid surface of Mars that is bombarded by solar and galactic cosmic radiation. In a previous study, Professor Michael Daly from the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, and colleagues found that Deinococcus radiodurans, a species of bacterium with an extraordinary resistance to the lethal and mutagenic effects of ionizing radiation, could survive over a million years in Mars’ harsh ionizing radiation. Their new study shatters that record, finding Deinococcus radiodurans could survive 280 million years if buried; this means evidence of ancient bacterial life could still…
Emmanuel Petit has described the whistles aimed at Lionel Messi by Paris Saint-Germain fans as ‘an insult to football’ and has taken a big swipe at the French club. The Argentine World Cup winner has been jeered by a section of PSG fans whenever his name is read out prior to matches after negotiations over a contract extension stalled. With Messi’s contract set to expire in the summer, and PSG requiring the 35-year-old to accept a 25 per cent pay cut on his £25.6million-a-year deal, he is edging towards the exit door.

An international team of researchers has announced the discovery of two super-Earths orbiting the star LP 890-9. The find is interesting because the orbit of one of the planets passes in the so-called zone of life. LP 890-9 is located at a distance of 100 light-years from Earth. It’s a cold red dwarf. Its radius is 6.5 times smaller than the radius of the Sun, and the surface temperature is only 2600 °C. During observations of the star, the TESS space telescope detected periodic decreases in its brightness corresponding to the transits of a body orbiting it with a period of 2.7…
Astrophysicists from SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University have measured the X-ray emission from galaxy clusters, which revealed the distribution of matter within them. In turn, the data helped the scientists test the Lambda-CDM model — the prevailing theory of the structure and evolution of the Universe. This artist’s impression shows the evolution of the Universe beginning with the Big Bang on the left followed by the appearance of the Cosmic Microwave Background. The formation of the first stars ends the cosmic dark ages, followed by the formation of galaxies. Image credit: M. Weiss / Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. Inferring the…

Like a tornado siren for life-threatening storms in America’s heartland, a new computer model that combines artificial intelligence (AI) and NASA satellite data could sound the alarm for dangerous space weather. The model uses AI to analyze spacecraft measurements of the solar wind (an unrelenting stream of material from the Sun) and predict where an impending solar storm will strike, anywhere on Earth, with 30 minutes of advance warning. This could provide just enough time to prepare for these storms and prevent severe impacts on power grids and other critical infrastructure. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this image of a solar flare…

Compared to other breeds of dogs, the Labrador Retrievers eat more than the usual amount of food. Dog owners who have this certain breed will agree because Labradors are also quite greedy and have no control when they are hungry. Some people unusually compare a pig to a Labrador Retriever due to its irrepressible appetite. A young Labrador Retriever aged 3 and below is very mischievous, and they are often compared to a Siberian Husky due to this. Additionally, Labradors love to play in water and mud. Once they see even a puddle of water or a place with watery soil, they…
