MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Keep an eye on Lois Openda. On a night when Erling Haaland set yet another scoring record, Openda announced himself on the big stage with two goals at the home of the European champions. Manchester City recovered from going 2-0 down against Leipzig in the Champions League on Tuesday to win 3-2 and Haaland became the fastest player to score 40 goals in the competition. But Openda’s performance is likely to have earned him admiring glances from rival clubs.“He just came to Leipzig. I think he stays a little bit longer. That’s what I hope,” said his coach Marco Rose, who is used to losing his most talented players. One of those was defender Josko Gvardiol, who left for City in the offseason in a deal worth $99.2 million. But the Croatia international could do nothing when Openda took the ball past him in the first half to score his second goal of the match.

Our galaxy’s black hole spins fast and drags space-time with it, scientists say

Published Thu, 13 Mar 2025 10:48:01 GMT

(CNN) — The supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy, Sagittarius A*, is spinning rapidly and altering space-time around it, a new study has found.Space-time is the four-dimensional continuum that describes how we see space, fusing one-dimensional time and three-dimensional space together to represent the space fabric that curves in response to massive celestial bodies.A team of physicists observed the black hole, which is located 26,000 light-years from Earth, with NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, a telescope designed to detect the X-ray emissions from hot regions of the universe. They calculated Sagittarius A*’s rotational speed by using what is known as the outflow method, which looks at radio waves and X-ray emissions that can be found in the material and gases surrounding black holes, otherwise known as the accretion disk, according to the study published October 21 in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.The researchers confirmed that the black hol...
