Earth and Moon in NASA

It is a unique view of our planet from a spacecraft speeding to a rendezvous with an asteroid. NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft took this incredible image of home from 3 million miles (5 million kilometres from Earth, about 13 times the distance between the Earth and Moon.

Asteroid Bennu, a carbon-rich hunk of rock that might contain organic materials or molecular precursors to life. The Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security–Regolith Explorer—is to map and return samples.

It is also an asteroid that could someday make a close pass or even a collision with Earth, though not for several centuries. The OSIRIS-Rex spacecraft is expected to reach its asteroid destination, Bennu, in August 2018.

Manchester City 3 Watford 1: Sterling inspires leaders back to winning ways 📹*

*Manchester City 3 Watford 1: Sterling inspires leaders back to winning ways 📹*

Raheem Sterling scored the fastest Premier League goal of the season to help Manchester City to a 3-1 win over Watford at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday.

The England international netted after only 39 seconds, before a Christian Kabasele own goal and a second-half finish from Sergio Aguero saw Pep Guardiola's side move 15 points clear at the top of the Premier League, with Andre Gray's late effort counting for little.

City's record 18-game winning run came to an end in a goalless draw at Crystal Palace on New Year's Eve and Guardiola took no chances with his line-up, with Kevin De Bruyne – passed fit after being hurt at Selhurst Park – joined by the returning David Silva in midfield, while John Stones made his first appearance since November at the heart of the defence.

Watford were looking for a response to their dramatic defeat to Swansea City but some slack defending in the first minute saw them fall behind and they rarely threatened a comeback from then on.

Kabesele's unfortunate own goal sapped the morale from the visitors, who have now lost six of their last seven league games, and the encounter turned into little more than a training exercise for the home side, with Aguero scoring his 13th top-flight goal of the season midway through the second half before Gray's consolation.

*Peru Pasamayo: Dozens killed as coach plunges off cliff*

At least 48 people have been killed after a coach plummeted 100m (330ft) down a cliff and landed upside down on a beach in Peru, officials say. The health ministry said six people had survived the accident, one of whom had jumped from the bus before it fell. The accident happened on a notorious stretch of road known as Curva del Diablo (devil's bend) in Pasamayo, north of the capital Lima.

The coach, with more than 50 people on board, collided with a lorry. Transit police said the lorry driver had been detained for questioning. The bus, which belongs to the San Martín de Porres transport company, was travelling to Lima from Huacho, about 130km (80 miles) north of the capital.

The stretch of road winding alongside the Pacific Ocean where the accident happened is considered one of the most dangerous in Peru. It has no barriers separating it from a sheer drop to the ocean and the sea spray and frequent fog can make it particularly slippery.

*Philippe Coutinho to miss FA Cup game against Everton with thigh injury*

Philippe Coutinho will miss the FA Cup third-round derby against Everton on Friday as he continues to receive treatment on a thigh injury.

Liverpool’s influential playmaker, who hopes to join Barcelona this month, missed the New Year’s Day win at Burnley through injury and the manager, Jürgen Klopp, said afterwards that the Brazil international was “at least a doubt” for the FA Cup tie at Anfield. Liverpool are now resigned to being without Coutinho against their Merseyside rivals, however, with the 25-year-old continuing to feel the effects of the thigh problem.

Coutinho was at Melwood on Wednesday to receive further treatment on his thigh. Mohamed Salah, who also missed the Burnley win and will travel with Sadio Mané to Ghana for the African Footballer of the Year awards on Thursday, remains a doubt.

Liverpool are braced for a new offer from the Spanish league leaders for the Brazilian but it will take a figure of around £130m for the Anfield club to consider his transfer. A deal could be agreed this month that would allow Coutinho to realise his wish of a move to Barcelona in the summer, but the player’s preference is for a January transfer.

New York to install 1,500 security barriers after vehicle attacks*

*New York to install 1,500 security barriers after vehicle attacks*

The mayor of New York City has announced plans to install 1,500 steel street barriers to prevent vehicle attacks. Bill de Blasio said the protective barriers were part of a $50m (£37m) investment in security infrastructure. The move comes after two vehicle attacks in 2017 that killed nine people in total. The new permanent barriers will replace temporary concrete blocks that were put in place after the incidents.

"I want to tell you these are the most cowardly kind of attacks - when someone with a vehicle ploughs into a group of innocent pedestrians. It's disgusting," Mr Blasio said at a press conference in Times Square, near where one of the vehicle attacks took place. "But we know there are some out there who mean to do us evil and we will protect against it."

Temporary concrete blocks were installed in Times Square and Lower Manhattan in the last few months following the attacks in the city and others worldwide. "That was necessary to immediately secure those areas in light on these new trends we've seen," Mr Blasio said. "But we knew we needed long-term solutions, we needed permanent barriers."

Arsenal close in on Greek youngster Mavropanos*

*Arsenal close in on Greek youngster Mavropanos*

Arsenal are closing in on the signing of centre-back Konstantinos Mavropanos from PAS Giannina for a fee in the region of £2million.

The 20-year-old broke into the Super League side's first-team towards the end of the season before cementing his place in the starting XI this term, but has already attracted interest from Greek giants Olympiakos and the Premier League side.

And it is the Gunners who are closest to signing him in the January transfer window due their new chief scout Sven Mislintat having close links with the player's agent from his time at Borussia Dortmund.

Mislintat, who identified and scouted the player, is expected to focus heavily on bringing the best young players to Arsenal and Mavropanos' arrival is likely to see him immediately loaned out to Bundesliga side Werder Bremen.

Mavropanos would follow his compatriots Panagiotis Retsos and Sokratis Papastathopoulos to Germany where the hope is that he develops into a ready-made Premier League player in the coming seasons.
