Kylian Mbappe enjoys a unique status in the French game. In the 41st minute of Paris Saint-Germain’s trip to Angers on Friday, PSG won a corner. By this point, Mbappe had scored twice and Angers were staring down the barrel of defeat, and probable confirmation of their relegation in the days to follow. Mbappe walked over to take the corner, in between the Colombier and Jean Bouin stands, in front of the home supporters. They were not Angers’ most vocal ultras, it must be said. But the 24-year-old raised his arms, as if to encourage the crowd to generate some noise. They did.…

Credit: NASA/JPL and Nicholas Schmerr. Scientists observed seismic waves traveling through Mars’ core for the first time and confirmed model predictions of the core’s composition. An international research team—which included University of Maryland seismologists—used seismic data acquired by the NASA InSight lander to directly measure properties of Mars’s core, finding a completely liquid iron-alloy core with high percentages of sulfur and oxygen. Published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on April 24,…

Iceland’s Fagradalsfjall volcano erupted in 2021, and again in August 2022, giving scientists like those in BU biologist Jeffrey Marlow’s lab—including PhD student Peter Schroedl (foreground)—the perfect opportunity to conduct research on the beginning of microbial life. Credit: Peter Schroedl Microbes are just about everywhere, from the soil to the air to Arctic ice to oceans, lakes, and rivers—not to mention all over your body and the phone or computer you’re using right now. “It’s rare to find a place where there are no microbes,” says Jeffrey J.

The Norwegian foreign ministry expressed irritation Tuesday with Sweden for not immediately informing it of a research rocket that crashed in Norway, in a rare spat between the two neighbours. The rocket, which was launched early Monday from the Esrange Space Centre in Kiruna, northern Sweden, plunged into a mountainside in the Malselv municipality in Norway’s far north, about 10 kilometres (six miles) from the closest inhabited area. No one was injured and no material damage was reported. “The crash of a rocket like this is a very serious incident that can cause serious damage,” the foreign ministry in Oslo said. “When…

CRISM data was superimposed onto an image of Mars’ Alga Crater captured by another MRO instrument, HiRISE. Each color represents a different material: blue for pyroxene, red for olivine, and green for impact glass, which forms in the heat of a violent impact that excavates a crater. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/JHUAPL/Univ. of Arizona NASA switched off one of its oldest instruments studying Mars on April 3, a step that’s been planned since last year. Riding aboard NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, CRISM, or the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars, revealed minerals such as clays, hematite (otherwise known as iron oxide), and sulfates…

Remnants of a wayward star, circling around a black hole. Credit: Fulya Kıroğlu/Northwestern University If they exist, intermediate-mass black holes likely devour wayward stars like a messy toddler—taking a few bites and then flinging the remains across the galaxy—a new Northwestern University-led study has found. In new 3D computer simulations, astrophysicists modeled black holes of varying masses and then hurled stars (about the size of our sun) past them to see what might happen. When a star approaches an intermediate-mass black hole, it initially gets caught in the black hole’s orbit, the researchers discovered. After that, the black hole begins…

An international team of space scientists has found evidence suggesting that planets could have formed during the so-called “cosmic noon.” In their study, reported in the journal Nature Astronomy, the group used data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to study a part of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) to learn more about planet development around young stars. For many years, astronomers have been studying planet creation and the likelihood of the existence of planets similar to Earth. But it is still not clear how planets could have could come to exist in the early universe when most, if not all of the…

Credit: ESO-M Kornmesser Scientists have unlocked one of the biggest mysteries of quasars—the brightest, most powerful objects in the universe—by discovering that they are ignited by galaxies colliding. First discovered 60 years ago, quasars can shine as brightly as a trillion stars packed into a volume the size of our solar system. In the decades since they were first observed, what could trigger such powerful activity has remained a mystery. New work led by scientists at the Universities of Sheffield and Hertfordshire has now revealed that it is a consequence of galaxies crashing together.…

Atletico Madrid chief Enrique Cerezo has said that it would be ‘fantastic’ were both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo to return to LaLiga. Cerezo’s comments come amid mounting speculation that Messi could make a sensational return to Barcelona this summer, just two years on from departing the club in floods of tears after financial constraints conspired to scupper hopes of a contract renewal. A return for Ronaldo, however, seems much more distant. The Portuguese departed Manchester United late last year under a shroud of acrimony after publicly criticising the club an interview with broadcaster Piers Morgan. He had wanted to remain in Europe but…

With the rumours of Lionel Messi possibly returning to FC Barcelona in the summer transfer window doing the rounds, Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti was asked for his opinion on the potential operation. It has been close to two years since Messi left Barcelona, joining PSG on a free transfer after the Blaugrana could not renew his contract. However, with his deal with the French champions set to expire at the end of the season, talks of a potential return to Catalonia have been gaining momentum with each passing day. It has been reported that Messi has asked Barcelona to do everything they…
