If Fischer was elated, though, Marcy was “frightened”; the discovery of a new solar system with multiple planets, like our own, was so unexpected that he worried people “might think we’re lunatics.” Only after 10 days of exhaustively rechecking his calculations did Marcy call his collaborator Robert Noyes of Harvard, who was observing the same star at the Whipple Observatory in Arizona. His first words were: “Bob, I hope you’re sitting down” and only after Noyes confirmed the pattern with his own data did the two teams announce their findings last week....

The parade took inspiration from the 2015 James Bond movie Spectre, which featured thousands of people dressed in skull and skeleton-inspired costumes, walking the streets of Mexico City, and featured a spectacular crowd scene and chase. The first parade took place in 2016, and has continued each year with the exception of 2020, due to the pandemic. The 2021 parade is back and Newsweek breaks down what you need to know to enjoy the festivities....

Directed by J.J. Perry and written by Tyler Tice and Shay Hatten (with first-timer Tice also receiving a story credit), Day Shift does everything in its power to squander the goodwill of its central conceit. For every little bit of worldbuilding (which itself often goes a little too far) and admittedly solid action, there are way too many juvenile jokes and inexplicable plot points to ignore.

AUGUSTA, Georgia (Reuters) - Augusta National is a happy place for many elite golfers and the smell of Azaleas and Georgia pines had a smile back on Jason Day’s face on Tuesday as the Australian wrapped up a U.S. Masters practice round. While it was the type of sun-kissed morning that had everyone from Augusta groundskeepers to Green Jacketed members grinning from ear-to-ear, Day had much more to smile about as he reported his mother Dening was winning her battle with lung cancer and might even make it to the Masters to cheer on her son....

Whether you take progestin-only or combination pills, taking your birth control on time gives your body the right balance of hormones to keep you from ovulating or other mechanisms to protect you from getting pregnant. If you forget a pill or take it earlier or later than usual, it could become less effective. When daylight saving time comes around, you may wonder if it will affect the timing of your birth control....

Speaking before the big match on Wednesday, Shreyas summarized his team’s performance this season, and looked forward to the Eliminator. He said, “It has been a great tournament for us so far. We have managed to win nine matches in total, and have only lost five matches which have also been close encounters. Majority of the wins have also been convincing from the team, and I am really happy with the way the team has stepped up to the occasion....

De Bruyne’s season has been wrecked by a pair of medial knee ligament injuries but on Boxing Day he made his first start of the 2018-19 Premier League campaign in a defeat to Leicester City. The Belgium international subsequently missed City’s 3-1 win over Southampton that ensured they are seven points behind the league leaders, who visit the Etihad Stadium on Thursday. City’s chances of chasing down Liverpool would be much improved were De Bruyne available, but Guardiola is unsure whether the midfielder will make his squad....

De Bruyne was bought for £7 million from Belgian club Genk in January 2012. He signed a five-and-a-half-year contract with Chelsea, and would stay at Genk for the remainder of the 2011–12 season. But the 21-year-old hasn’t made a single appearance for Chelsea and spent the last season on loan at Werder Bremen. He had a great season at Weserstadion, scoring 10 goals and assisting 9 in 33 Bundesliga games....

CeCe Jefferson, the nation’s No. 7 overall player and No. 2 strong-side defensive end, announced Wednesday afternoon he will be playing his college ball in Gainesville. Alabama, Auburn and Ole Miss were also finalists for the Florida native, who was a U.S. Army All-America selection this past season.

De Grandhomme, with six fours and a six to his credit, brought up his half century in 28 deliveries. New Zealand were 538 for four in their second innings, leading Sri Lanka by 617 runs. The previous fastest 50 for a New Zealander was in 29 balls by Tim Southee against England 10 years ago. The world record fastest 50 was scored by Pakistan’s Misbah-ul-Haq in 21 balls against Australia...

De Grasse is in Doha to compete in the 200m at the opening Diamond League of the season on Friday, having finished fourth in the men’s 100m at the Drake Relays last week in his return from a nine-month injury absence. De Grasse, whose three medals at the 2016 Rio Olympics included 200m silver and 100m bronze, suffered a hamstring injury that saw him deprived of a bid for world glory....

His parent club, Sao Paulo FC, whom he joined in 2015, paid tribute to Correa with its players holding a minute’s silence before training on Monday. Correa had been on loan at second division Sao Bento when he died. Sao Paulo said in a statement that he was “found dead this weekend.” Other Brazilian clubs and players also paid tribute. Police in the southern Parana state said Correa’s body had been found in a rural zone on the outskirts of the state capital Curitiba on Saturday....

While some of the DLC has been new, unlicensed characters, Dead by Daylight has also collaborated with many of the most well-known horror franchises in both video games and movies. The most recent crossover was Resident Evil, with the new killer Nemesis added alongside Leon S. Kennedy and Jill Valentine as survivors. With Dead by Daylight’s history of horror collaborations, the game should consider doing a crossover with a new, but immensely popular, horror series: Netflix’s Fear Street trilogy....

Sadako is one of the most famous villains in Japanese horror, especially overseas, where her visual glitches and unstoppable killing streak made her seem like the personification of urban legends. However, there’s a lot to learn about Sadako from the Ringu books, multiple movie continuities, and even manga. Dead by Daylight seems to have drawn on the original Ringu novels for some elements of the crossover. RELATED: Dead by Daylight Is Being Adapted into A Board Game...

Giblins: Fantasy Builder is perhaps best compared to Fallout Shelter. It’s a mobile game in which players will make their own fantasy castle and underground factory, of sorts. Players will build different rooms, whether they be below-ground mines or forges, or above-ground theaters or bars. Giblins are then placed in the rooms to make them active. It’s all in effort to bring in resources and cash, to continue making an enormous fantasy castle all built and run by Giblins....

Dead Rising 4 was originally revealed during E3 2016, where gamers got to watch a gratuitously gore-filled 14 minute long gameplay video. Beside of a strong new focus on taking selfies, Dead Rising 4 will encourage players to take advantage of sci-fi inspired exo suits, which give Frank the power of several men. This allows him to do things like punch vehicles into hordes of zombies, or utilize heavy weapons like a gatling gun or flamethrower....

When snake catcher Dan Marshall arrived at the scene in Riverton, South Australia, he found the eastern brown snake hidden underneath the homeowner’s microwave. “My theory was that the snake was seeking shelter during extreme heat periods where it probably entered into the exterior wall of the house,” he told Newsweek. “Once in the double-brick walls it slowly made its way upwards, potentially over weeks. It then entered the kitchen via the rangehood, where the homeowner witnessed it fall from....

“I am glad they got problems.

The Cyberpunk 2077 content for Death Stranding consists of six separate missions that require Sam to locate missing memory chips with the letter V carved into them. He will receive emails from various characters throughout the game, asking him to take on these recovery missions. Surprisingly, unlike many crossover events, this content has several items that can actually be useful to Sam throughout his journey.

Not too long ago, Variety held an interview with Kojima, in which the Death Stranding director declared that the secrecy surrounding the game is partly a reaction to the social, open, publicity-driven world we all currently live in. According to the director, “We live in a time of social networks. In this time, people just want immediate answers, but not only answers, they also want to know what they feel....
