The space rock designated 1996 VB3, with a diameter of 220 meters, will pass Earth on the evening of October 20. It will reach a minimum distance of around 2 million miles (3.2 million km) from Earth. That’s just under nine times the distance between Earth and the moon. The object will be traveling at 15,000 meters per second as it passes our planet. That’s about 20 times faster than a jet fighter and 17 times faster than a bullet fired from a rifle....

After beating Leeds United 1-0 on Sunday as part of a three-team exhibition tournament, Steven Gerrard’s side looked a little flat throughout a goalless first 45 minutes in Townsville. Brisbane were more than holding their own and handed new recruit Charlie Austin a debut in the second half. While Villa looked off the pace for much of the game, they did show glimpses in attack and eventually found the decisive goal in the 77th minute when youngster Cameron Archer pounced on a ball in the box to fire home....

The Reds slipped up against Tottenham last time out, dropping points in an already razor-thin title race. With three matches remaining, Man City has a three-point lead, meaning Liverpool realistically must be perfect the rest of the way to even have a shot at the Premier League crown. Aston Villa, in 11th place, is in textbook late-season mid-table doldrums, out of contention for European places and no danger for relegation....

While he accepts it is the owner’s “prerogative” whether to make significant investments in the transfer market, the former Leicester City and Celtic boss was gutted when Randy Lerner did not. O’Neill guided Villa to three consecutive sixth-place finishes in the Premier League before leaving ahead of the 2010-11 season and he feels they were close to reaching the Champions League. “I was there for four years, it is 10 years since I’ve left now,” he said to Stats Perform News....

Researchers hope the discovery of so many of these freely-drifting planets could help us better understand how they evolve and the processes that divorce them from the planetary system and stars. “We did not know how many [rogue planets] to expect and are excited to have found so many,” Núria Miret-Roig, astronomer at the Laboratoire d’Astrophysique de Bordeaux, France, and the University of Vienna, said. Miret-Roig led the investigation, which discovered 170 rogue exoplanets and confirmed at least 70....

Cameras zoomed in on the man, revealing that he had a handgun tucked into his shorts.

Just as the Braves piled on early in Game 1, the Astros jumped on Atlanta right from the get-go in Game 2. Jose Altuve scored following a leadoff double when Alex Bregman lifted a sacrifice fly; a huge four-run second inning, with RBIs coming on hits from Jose Siri, Martin Maldonado and Michael Brantley, put Houston out to a commanding 5-1 lead. The Astros tacked on two more runs later in the game, and the Braves never could catch back up as Houston evened the series at one win each with a 7-2 victory on Wednesday....

On December 3, 1979, British rock band The Who was scheduled to perform a leg of their world tour at the Heritage Bank Center in Cincinnati, Ohio.

However, the night would end in tragedy. A crowd of general admission ticket holders attempted to squeeze through just two open doors after it was mistakenly believed that the band had begun to play....

The Jaguars quarterback also threw a bad pick during last week’s loss to the Chiefs. He entered Week 10 with 10 interceptions on the season. He threw 18 picks last season. He threw 17 as a rookie in 2014. The frustrating part for Jacksonville fans is the 24-year-old’s inconsistency — on the next possession after his pick against the Texans, Bortles drove the Jaguars down the field for a game-tying touchdown to make up for his mistake....

The seven-time Grand Slam winner pointed out how Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic have all managed an unprecedented tally of 20 or more Major titles, surpassing him with quite some distance to spare.
