Астрономи попередили про 20 потенційно небезпечних астероїдів, що становлять загрозу для Землі

KILKENNY will have to plan without Eoin Cody for tomorrow’s Leinster SHC final against Galway.
The Ballyhale Shamrocks sharpshooter remains sidelined through injury for the Croke Park showpiece, having not played since he racked up 1-13 in the win over Antrim six weeks ago.
David Blanchfield is on the bench as Derek Lyng’s side shows two changes from last year’s provincial final victory over Dublin.
Jordan Molloy and Stephen Donnelly are drafted in for a Cats outfit who are seeking their sixth Bob O’Keeffe Cup on the spin.
Galway are hoping that Darach Fahy will be able to feature, despite the team released showing Éanna Murphy in the goalkeeper’s position.
Fahy — who has been named in goal in the official selection submitted to Croke Park — could yet be cleared via an appeal after being handed a one-match ban for making contact with AJ Murphy in the win over Dublin.
Kevin Cooney comes into the Tribe attack for Anthony Burns in the only other change by Micheál Donoghue.
KILKENNY: E Murphy; M Butler, H Lawlor, T Walsh; M Carey, R Reid, P Deegan; C Kenny, J Molloy; J Donnelly, A Mullen, B Ryan; S Donnelly, TJ Reid, M Keoghan. Subs: A Tallis, P Moylan, D Blanchfield, S Murphy, K Doyle, Z Bay Hammond, F Mackessy, H Shine, L Hogan, L Connellan, M Murphy.
GALWAY: D Fahy; P Mannion, D Burke, F Burke; C Fahy, G Lee, TJ Brennan; S Linnane, D Burke; J Fleming, C Mannion, T Monaghan; C Whelan, B Concannon, K Cooney. Subs: E Murphy, D Morrissey, J Grealish, J Ryan, D Loftus, R Glennon, C Cooney, T Killeen, A Burns, C Molloy, J Flynn.
Well, blink and you miss it. Étoile, that elegant dance of drama and pliés, twirled onto Prime Video only to tiptoe off-stage roughly six weeks later.

THUNDERSTORMS, gusty winds, heavy rain and “frequent lightning” are set to hit today – with the Met Office issuing a severe weather warning.
Parts of Britain will be lashed with up to 40mm of rain in just two hours, according to forecasts.
A yellow weather warning for thunderstorms comes into effect at 9am and lasts until 6pm.
The national weather agency said on X: “A wet day for a few.”
Forecasters said the weekend will bring frequent heavy showers – some thundery – with a chance of hail and strong winds.
The rainfall expected today could be more than England saw during the entire month of May.
Met Office data shows England recorded 32.8mm of rain last month – almost half the usual monthly average.
It is expected to cause travel chaos, with the forecaster adding there will “probably some damage to a few buildings and structures from lightning strikes”.
Householders have been warned of potential power cuts.
Dan Suri, chief meteorologist at the Met Office, said: “Frequent heavy showers and thunderstorms are expected for much of Saturday, before they fade from the west during the mid-to-late afternoon.
“It’s possible that 10-15mm of rain could fall in less than an hour, while some places could see 30-40mm of rain over several hours from successive showers and thunderstorms.
“Frequent lightning, hail and strong, gusty winds are also possible.”
He added: “While brisk winds ensure that most places in the warning area will be hit by showers, not all places will see thunderstorms.
“In this case it’s difficult to predict where exactly thunderstorms will hit because they are small and fast changing.
“One analogy we use to picture the complexity of this forecasting challenge is comparing it to boiling a pan of water and having to guess exactly where and when the bubbles will appear.
“We know some will, but only in certain places, and that is why thunderstorms are so hard to predict.”
Conditions are expected to improve on Sunday, with a drier day forecast for many, though showers may linger in parts of the north and east.
The Met Office forecast for tomorrow says: “Sunny spells and scattered showers, these heaviest and most frequent in the north.
“Turning cloudier from the northwest later with further showers outbreaks. Breezy for many and feeling rather cool.”
Today:
Widespread showers may be heavy, bringing a risk of hail and thunderstorms across England and Wales.
Heavy outbreaks in southern Scotland merge into longer spells of rain at times too.
Becoming gusty in passing showers, with occasional sunny spells too.
Tonight:
Daytime showers largely easing and clearing gradually eastwards, with clear spells developing overnight.
Breezy with a few showers arriving in the west by dawn, and feeling cooler than recent nights.
Sunday:
Sunny spells and scattered showers, these heaviest and most frequent in the north.
Turning cloudier from the northwest later with further showers outbreaks. Breezy for many and feeling rather cool.
Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:
Changeable with a mixture of sunshine, scattered showers and longer spells of rain this week.
Breezy and feeling cool at first, but temperatures on the rise by midweek.
A SAVVY woman has shared the secrets to her impressive Vinted fortune.
So if you’ve got a loft full of old stuff you never use, or a wardrobe that’s bursting at the seams with clothes you never wear, you’ve come to the right place and will need to take notes.
Isabella, a young woman “on a hustle mission”, has made £10,470.65 on Vinted this year alone.
Not only this, but she still has the capacity to earn £3,199 extra thanks to the 873 items she currently has listed on the marketplace app.
Posting on social media, the mother uploaded a snap showing off a huge pile of her Vinted parcels, as she penned: “Top tips for selling on Vinted from someone who’s made over £10k this year.”
First things first, according to Isabella, you shouldn’t upload more than seven items a day on the app.
She advised: “Post four to seven items daily. Don’t post them all on the same day as they will then become lost.”
Secondly, she revealed her top tip for taking the best pictures, as she added: “Post your items on a plain background, e.g. white bedding or clean carpet.”
Additionally, Isabella revealed the exact number of days you should wait before re-listing items.
“If you still haven’t sold your item after seven days, delete the item and re-post,” she stressed.
Not only this, but Isabella warned against using supermarket bags to send out parcels, as she continued: “Use actual mailing bags rather than bin bags/Tesco bags.
“This will make you look more professional and your buyer will be more likely to return.”
But that’s not all, as Isabella also advised Vinted enthusiasts to offer bundle discounts, even if it’s only 5%, as she acknowledged: “This will make the buyer want to buy more.”
Not only should users take pictures of their items on a white background, but Isabella also stressed the magic number of pictures you must upload to every listing if you want to sell fast.

She recommended: “Use natural lighting, good quality images and always show at least three images of the item.”
Finally, Isabella noted the importance of raking up five star reviews on the handy app, as she concluded: “Having good reviews is essential when selling on Vinted.
“[It] shows that you are reliable and the items are likely to be as described.”
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @isabella.98x, has clearly left many impressed, as numerous users eagerly flocked to the comments to thank Isabella for her handy hacks.

Vinted shared with The Sun some of the most popular items on the app:
WOLVES have announced TEN players will leave the club this summer.
Skipper Nelson Semedo is among those to be offered a new deal at Molineux.
But Pablo Sarabia and Craig Dawson are heading out of the exit door.
Sarabia, 33, joined the club from Paris Saint-Germain in January 2023.
The Spaniard was a Champions League runner-up with PSG in 2020 and brought flair to Wolves on the flanks.
He scored eight goals in 77 games, twice winning the club’s Goal of the Season award.
Sarabia confirmed last week he was to leave the Midlands after just over two years.
He wrote on Instagram: “Two and a half seasons ago, I had the chance to become part of the Wolves family and experience a league as competitive as the @premierleague.
“It’s been an exciting challenge, and even though we went through tough moments, we reached our goals — thanks to the unity between the club and the fans.
“Now it’s time to start a new chapter, taking with me some amazing memories from a club that my family and I will never forget. “
“Wishing you all the best for the future. Once a Wolf, always a Wolf. Thank you @wolves.”

Dawson has been linked with a move to ambitious Championship side Wrexham following their consecutive promotions.
The ex-West Ham defender played 61 times in the gold of Wolves.
And reports suggest Wrexham have tabled a contract offer to the former Conference League champion.
Wolves also announced eight players from their youth setup will be released.
Stan Amos, Justin Hubner, Testimony Igbinoghene, Aaron Keto Diyawa, Lucas Kibrya, Filozofe Mabete, Josh Nyakudya and Matty Whittingham are all free to find new clubs.
The club have also chosen not to take up the option in Carlos Forbs’ loan deal, with the forward returning to Ajax.
It comes after last season’s top scorer Matheus Cunha moved to Manchester United for £62.5million.
The Brazilian looks set to be joined in leaving by Rayan Ait-Nouri, who is a target for Manchester City.
FROM ‘Becky with the good hair’ rumours to Diddy controversies, Beyoncé and Jay-Z have faced plenty of challenges throughout their 25-year relationship.
Despite the ups and downs, the power couple has appeared to remain strong, focusing on creating a positive impact for their three children – Blue Ivy Carter, 13, and twins Rumi and Sir Carter, seven.
This weekend, Beyoncé’s highly anticipated Cowboy Carter tour kicks off in London, promising a stunning showcase of western-inspired fashion and an unforgettable rodeo of sights and sounds.
The global icon is set to perform a two-hour, 45-minute spectacular in support of her Grammy-winning album, bringing her two daughters along for the journey.
Beyoncé’s music has always been at the heart of her success.
However, her journey hasn’t been without its share of public storms.
From dodging the Diddy controversy to her sister Solange’s infamous elevator incident, and those ever-persistent ‘Becky’ cheating rumours, their relationship has been anything but smooth sailing.
Here, we delve into the drama and resilience that has defined their extraordinary 25 years together.
The pair first met in 2000 at the MTV Spring Break Festival in Cancun, Mexico, when Beyoncé was 18 and Jay-Z was 30.
Jay-Z later rapped about their meeting and sitting together on a flight back to New York in his 2018 track 713.
Beyoncé confirmed this during an interview with Oprah, explaining that they were friends for a year and a half before dating.
She said: “We were on the phone for a year and a half, and that foundation is so important for a relationship.
“Just to have someone who you just like is so important, and someone [who] is honest.”
Although Beyoncé has clarified she was not underage when they met, rumours about their age gap have persisted.
Ignoring the speculation, the couple released Crazy in Love in 2003.
While Beyoncé had already featured on Jay-Z’s 03 Bonnie & Clyde, it was Crazy in Love that solidified their status as a power duo, even though they still kept their relationship under wraps at the time.
It was then in 2004, the couple made their red carpet debut at the VMAs.
This was the year Beyoncé and Jay-Z finally tied the knot.
At 26 and 38, the couple exchanged vows in an “intimate” ceremony that remains shrouded in secrecy.
It is believed the wedding took place in a Manhattan penthouse.
“There was no rush – no one expected me to run off and get married,” Beyoncé later shared with Seventeen about her wedding day.
“I really don’t believe that you will love the same thing when you’re 20 as you do at 30. So that was my rule: Before the age of 25, I would never get married.
“I feel like you have to get to know yourself, know what you want, spend some time by yourself, and be proud of who you are before you can share that with someone else.”
The Carters then went on to welcome their first child, Blue Ivy Carter, 7 January 2012.
At this point, Beyoncé found herself embroiled in one of the most dramatic public controversies of her life.
Her sister, Solange Knowles, was caught on video attacking Jay-Z in an elevator at the 2014 Met Gala afterparty. The altercation occurred while Beyoncé was also present in the elevator.
Security footage obtained by TMZ showed Solange wildly hitting and kicking Jay-Z before a security guard intervened to restrain her.
At one point, Beyoncé was seen standing between the two. The video quickly went viral, sparking widespread speculation.
At the end of the day, families have problems, and we’re no different. We love each other, and above all, we are family
Joint statement
Though never confirmed, many believed the fight stemmed from cheating rumours surrounding the couple at the time.
On May 15, 2014, the trio issued a joint statement addressing the incident.
“As a result of the public release of the elevator security footage from Monday, May 5th, there has been a great deal of speculation about what triggered the unfortunate incident.
“But the most important thing is that our family has worked through it,” they said in a statement to the Associated Press.
“Jay and Solange each assume their share of responsibility for what has occurred. They both acknowledge their role in this private matter that has played out in the public.
“They both have apologised to each other, and we have moved forward as a united family.”
The statement continued: “The reports of Solange being intoxicated or displaying erratic behavior throughout that evening are simply false.
“At the end of the day, families have problems, and we’re no different. We love each other, and above all, we are family.
“We’ve put this behind us and hope everyone else will do the same.”
In April 2016, Beyoncé released her groundbreaking album Lemonade, which many fans believe essentially confirms that Jay-Z cheated on her.
She opens with the lyric: “You can taste the dishonesty, it’s all over your breath.” At another point, she pointedly asks: “Are you cheating on me?”
The album appeared to finally settle the speculation surrounding the infamous Met Gala elevator incident.
I think that everybody at one time or another has been betrayed and lied to
Tina Knowles
Fans were further intrigued when Beyoncé mentioned “Becky with the good hair,” a phrase that quickly became a cultural talking point.
Speaking about the album, Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles Lawson, said: “It could be about anyone’s marriage.
“I think that everybody at one time or another has been betrayed and lied to and it’s about the pain and it’s about the healing process and it’s about, ‘How do you get past that and move on.’”
On February 1, 2017, Beyoncé and Jay-Z announced they were expecting twins with a heartfelt post alongside Beyoncé’s iconic pregnancy reveal, and they were later born in mid-June that same year.
But it was later that year that got people talking as Jay-Z openly admitted to his infidelity during an interview with The New York Times’ T Magazine.
Reflecting on the challenges they faced, he said: “You know, most people walk away, and like divorce rate is like 50 percent or something ’cause most people can’t see themselves.
“The hardest thing is seeing pain on someone’s face that you caused, and then have to deal with yourself.
“So, you know, most people don’t want to do that. You don’t want to look inside yourself.”
In Decemeber 2024 Jay Z and Sean “Diddy” Combs were accused of raping a 13-year-old girl in 2000 at the VMAs afterparty, to which the rapper denied all allegations.
The unnamed woman, claimed that she had been handed a glass of something that made her feel “woozy” and recall lying down in a bedroom, in which she got raped.
However, in February this year, the case was dismissed, according to a legal filing submitted in New York.
At the time Jay Z denied the accusations via a post on social media, in which he wrote: “My lawyer received a blackmail attempt, called a demand letter, from a ‘lawyer’ named Tony Buzbee.
My wife and I will have to sit our children down, one of whom is at the age where her friends will surely see the press and ask questions about the nature of these claims
Jay Z statement
What he had calculated was the nature of these allegations and the public scrutiny would make me want to settle.
“No sir, it had the opposite effect! It made me want to expose you for the fraud you are in a VERY public fashion. So no, I will not give you ONE RED PENNY!!”
He continued: “My only heartbreak is for my family.
“My wife and I will have to sit our children down, one of whom is at the age where her friends will surely see the press and ask questions about the nature of these claims, and explain the cruelty and greed of people.”
A man accused Sean “Diddy” Combs of sexual assault and humiliated him at a 2015 party while Beyonce and Jay Z were present.
However, in April 2025 the accuser, Joseph Manzaro, filed an amendment to his lawsuit in Florida and removed the couple’s name from his lawsuit.
WHEN Louise Simpson walks past the family home where she raised her son it isn’t nostalgia that she feels but despair.
It was the sight of one of the most harrowing events of her life and one that saw Louise lose not only dozens of sentimental memories but also her beloved pet dog.
Her violent ex, Adrian West, who was caught attacking her home on her doorbell camera returned hours after being released by police to burn it down as she slept.
West had subjected Louise to months of violent attacks including strangling, punching and kicking.
She finally kicked him out of her house in Crawley, Sussex, but the 61-year-old returned and smashed her doorbell camera using a rock.
Louise, 53, called the police and West spent a night in the cells before being released without charge the following day.
But later that day he returned to the property and started a fire in the porch which quickly engulfed the house.
Louise – who was taking a nap at the time – was woken by neighbours and scrambled to escape as her bedroom was filled with thick black smoke.
But her beloved British Bulldog Peggy was frozen in terror under the bed – and Louise was forced to abandon her in order to save her own life.
West has now been jailed for six years after pleading guilty to arson and a string of assaults on Louise.
She is now campaigning for a change in the law to consider companion animals as sentient beings rather than property as they are currently seen.
Reliving the arrest, Louise says: “The police came out and arrested him.
“I was sobbing, saying: ‘Whatever happens, I just don’t want him to be able to come near me again’. So he was kept in custody overnight.
“They called me about 10.45am the next morning and said that he was going to be released with no further action.
“I said: ‘Well, what do I do? He’s going to come back.’ And they said they can’t do anything unless he does something more.
“They genuinely seemed to be more worried about how abusive he’d been to the arresting officers the day before.”
Louise called police on September 13 last year when a drunk West tried to smash her door and Ring doorbell camera with a rock. She wouldn’t open the door and called the police.
He was arrested on suspicion of criminal damage and held overnight at a local police station.
Louise was told they could not take further action because she had not signed the witness statement she had provided.
She says: “At the time I didn’t particularly want to get him in too much trouble, I thought he isn’t getting any younger and all I wanted was for him to just leave me alone.
“I asked the police that whatever happened could they please just warn him about coming back to my house again”
Fearing that West would return to her house the following day, she blocked the front door with a toolbox and stockpiled food for a few days.
She was “shattered” and laid down for a nap. A heavy sleeper, she awoke at 3.16pm to her neighbours raising the alarm that her house was on fire.
For about four or five days, I couldn’t eat. I just laid on the sofa
Louise Simpson
Fire forensics later told Louise they believe he used white spirit as an accelerant.
Three-year-old Peggy hid under the bed and was too heavy for Louise to drag her out.
“If she decided she wasn’t going to move, you could not move her,” Louise says.
“I was desperately trying, but I couldn’t breathe, so I ran down the stairs.”
Louise was able to pull the toolbox out of the way but once outside she ran back in in a second attempt to rescue Peggy.
“I was trying to cover my mouth with my hands and putting my T-shirt over my mouth but because the smoke was so thick I couldn’t breathe,” she says.
“My neighbours were all telling me to get out.”
Firefighters rescued Peggy from the house but were unable to resuscitate her.
Louise stayed with her son Connor, 28, after the fire.
DOMESTIC abuse can affect anyone - including men - and does not always involve physical violence.
Here are some signs that you could be in an abusive relationship:
If any of the above apply to you or a friend, you can call these numbers:
Remember, you are not alone.
1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men will experience domestic abuse over the course of their lifetime.
Every 30 seconds the police receive a call for help relating to domestic abuse.
She says: “For about four or five days, I couldn’t eat. I just laid on the sofa. I didn’t wash, didn’t brush my teeth.
“I was just crying non-stop, I couldn’t take it all in.”
She now stays between her Connor’s house and a friend’s in nearby Crawley.
The council offered her alternative accommodation but she would prefer to move back into her house once it is repaired in about a year.
She says: “I’ve lived in that home for 28 years. I raised my son there. I’ve got good memories there as well.”
Her possessions suffered fire, smoke or water damage.
Peggy’s life was given as much value as a bookcase
Louise Simpson
Louise lost personal photos, her mum’s ashes, a hairbrush which had her mum’s hair still in it, an elephant made for her by her daughter-in-law out of her mum’s clothes and Connor’s baby clothes she was saving for her grandchildren.
West, of no fixed address, pleaded guilty at Lewes Crown Court to arson with intent, criminal damage, non-fatal strangulation, common assault and two counts of actual bodily harm on May 2.
He was sentenced to six years and three months in jail.
Louise is upset that Peggy’s death was not considered in the sentencing.
She wants offenders to be punished for killing companion animals like dogs and cats.
She adds: “Peggy’s life was given as much value as a bookcase.
“She was my absolute world.
“What I used to go through with him, she was the one constant that was there by my side; my best friend.”
A spokesman for Sussex Police said: “West was arrested on 13 September 2024 on suspicion of criminal damage and spent the night in custody.
“He was released without charge as the victim did not wish to sign a statement at the time.”
The Ministry of Justice says it has no plans to change the law.
