The light from the supernova is seen in four different images due to a cosmic phenomenon that causes light to be deflected by the gravity of a massive galaxy. This effect creates four separate images of the same supernova. The discovery is published in the scientific magazine Science.

    A week after being disqualified from the Honda Classic for failing to register for the event, PGA Tour rookie Mark Hubbard charged one stroke clear with an opening four-under-par 68 at the Puerto Rico Open on Thursday. Hubbard mixed six birdies with two bogeys, despite gusting winds on the Trump International course in Rio Grande, to end the day one ahead of fellow Americans Billy Mayfair and Chris Smith, and Argentina's Emiliano Grillo.

    The Texas Rangers' Japanese ace Yu Darvish insisted his early exit from his first Spring Training game on Thursday was no cause for concern. Darvish was pulled from the exhibition game against Kansas City in Surprise, Arizona, after just 12 pitches because of tightness in his right triceps. "I just had some (normal) tightness in my triceps, so I was throwing without putting too much effort, I was only focusing on my command," Darvish said, adding that he felt the muscle tightening up in the bullpen. The 28-year-old hurler had his season cut short in August with what the Rangers first called inflammation in his right elbow.

    By Daniel Lovering FALL RIVER, Massachusetts (Reuters) - A tread mark found near the body of a man allegedly killed by Aaron Hernandez was made by a tire from a car rented by the ex-NFL star, a Massachusetts State Police trooper who specializes in tire track analysis said on Thursday. Trooper Todd Girouard said the rear passenger side tire of a Nissan Altima that prosecutors say was rented by Hernandez matched a track found at a North Attleborough industrial park where the body of Odin Lloyd was found in June 2013. Hernandez, 25, has been charged with murdering Lloyd, a semi-professional football player who had been dating his fiancee's sister, and is being tried at Bristol County Superior Court in Fall River, Massachusetts.

    Englishman Matt Ford and Irishman Kevin Phelan shared the Africa Open first-round lead on 67 Thursday after taming blustery East London Golf Club conditions. Phelan, joint second in the Joburg Open last weekend, collected six birdies over the 6,108-metre (6,679-yard) layout with his sole blemish a bogey five on 11. Ford put unspectacular Joburg Open form -- a share of 43rd spot -- behind him to garner five birdies and did not drop a shot in the Indian Ocean town. Phelan, ranked 368 in the world, and Ford, 397 places further back, are both chasing a first European Tour triumph in this co-sanctioned event with the Sunshine Tour.
