The sun has been without sunspots for 33 of the past 34 days. To find a similar stretch of blank suns, you have to go back to 2009 when the sun was experiencing the deepest solar minimum in a century. Solar minimum has returned, bringing extra cosmic rays, long-lasting holes in the sun's atmosphere, and strangely pink auroras. Free: Aurora alerts. ATMOSPHERIC RADIATION UPDATE: As the sunspot cycle declines, we expect cosmic rays to increase. Is this actually happening? The answer is "yes." Spaceweather.com and the students of Earth to Sky Calculus have been monitoring cosmic radiation in the atmosphere with frequent high-altitude balloon flights over California. Here are the ...

Recently I wrote a column about the theory of Intelligent Design, which holds that that life, both in its origins and its changes over time, are the result of design instead of chance. Several hundred comments and emails arrived, more than I could read. This was not surprising as there seems to be considerable public interest in the question, while a virulent political correctness prevents discussion in most forums. In particular the major media prevent mention of Intelligent Design except in derogatory terms. Interesting to me at any rate was that the tone of response was much more civil and thoughtful than it was say, a decade ago. A fair few respondents quoted the Bible. I wondered ...

Boeing stepped in to rescue the Ukrainian plane maker Antonov, known for producing the world's largest aircraft. by David Reid The firm had ceased production because of its heavy reliance on Russian imports, which had collapsed after Moscow's annexation of Crimea in 2014. But, Boeing's parts, equipment and services unit, Aviall, is set to now provide the components and Antonov plans to build eight aircraft a year from the end of next year. The deal, which was signed at the Farnborough International Airshow, was confirmed to CNBC via email on Friday. President of Antonov, Oleksandr Donets, told Reuters in an interview that the next step is to build a storage facility with ...

Two worms that have been frozen in permafrost for up to 42,000 years have come back to life, and are now considered the oldest living animals on the planet, in what is being described as a major scientific breakthrough. The ancient nematodes (aka roundworms) are “moving and eating” again for the first time since the Pleistocene age, after coming back to life in Petri dishes, according to a new study by a team of Russian scientists in collaboration with Princeton University. © University of Bradford 'Never seen anything like it’: Ancient handprints discovered in Scotland (PHOTOS) “We have obtained the first data demonstrating the capability of multicellular ...

It seems everyday more and more information is being uncovered about trees and the many mysteries within them. We know that they are alive, but it seems they are even more alive than we may have thought. Trees are interconnected underground, we also now know that trees can communicate with one another, but recently scientists have discovered that trees actually have a sort of heartbeat, it is just so slow that they’ve never noticed before. Up until recently scientists had thought that water moved through trees by the process of osmosis, in a sort of continuous matter, but now they’ve discovered that the trunks and branches of the trees are actually contracting and expanding and ...

Positron Dynamics is out to make space travel to distant stars a reality using antimatter. Antimatter is the most energy-dense material known. Positrons are the easiest form of antimatter to produce. With physics that is understood today, any hopes of traveling beyond the edge of the Solar System can only be realized with antimatter. To get there, our first steps lie in Earth’s orbit. Poster Comment:Antimatter has been known since 1932.
An Enormous Study of the Genes Related to Staying in School

Atlantic... Researchers have found 1,271 gene variants associated with years of formal education. That’s important, but not for the obvious reasons. When scientists publish their research, it’s rare for them to write an accompanying FAQ that explains what they found and what it means. It’s especially rare for that FAQ to be three times longer than the research paper itself. But Daniel Benjamin and his colleagues felt the need to do so, because they work on a topic that is frequently and easily misunderstood: the genetics of education. Over the past five years, Benjamin has been part of an international team of researchers identifying variations in the human genome that are ...

TEHRAN (FNA)- Scientists at the University of Michigan have deduced that the Andromeda galaxy, our closest large galactic neighbor, shredded and cannibalized a massive galaxy two billion years ago. Even though it was mostly shredded, this massive galaxy left behind a rich trail of evidence: an almost invisible halo of stars larger than the Andromeda galaxy itself, an elusive stream of stars and a separate enigmatic compact galaxy, M32. Discovering and studying this decimated galaxy will help astronomers understand how disk galaxies like the Milky Way evolve and survive large mergers. This disrupted galaxy, named M32p, was the third-largest member of the Local Group of galaxies, after ...

Psychology Itself Is Under Scrutiny

Many famous studies of human behavior cannot be reproduced. Even so, they revealed aspects of our inner lives that feel true. The urge to pull down statues extends well beyond the public squares of nations in turmoil. Lately it has been stirring the air in some corners of science, particularly psychology. In recent months, researchers and some journalists have strung cables around the necks of at least three monuments of the modern psychological canon: The famous Stanford Prison Experiment, which found that people playacting as guards quickly exhibited uncharacteristic cruelty. The landmark marshmallow test, which found that young children who could delay gratification showed ...
Looking at Moon Dust: An Apollo Artifact Comes Out of Storage

Watch as we open an Apollo artifact that has been sealed since 1973, just days after it returned from the Moon. During the Apollo 17 mission, astronauts Gene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt spent more time on the lunar surface than any previous mission. Gene Cernan, the last astronaut to walk on the Moon, brought a cover from his life support backpack home to Earth. NASA sealed the object and gave it to the Smithsonian, where it was kept in storage for 41 years. Staff brought it out to display it for the very first time as part of the new exhibition "Outside the Spacecraft: 50 Years of Extra-vehicular Activity." How much lunar dust is preserved on the object? Conservator Lisa Young ...

PressTV... Airbus, one of the world’s largest aircraft manufacturers, has put its record-breaking solar-powered drone into mass production. The pioneering aerospace company says it’s opening a production facility for its Zephyr aircraft in the English town of Farnborough. The facility would produce up to 30 aircraft a year. Zephyr holds the world’s record for the longest flight duration without refueling. It managed to stay afloat for over two weeks, and reached stratospheric altitudes, around 21 kilometers above earth’s surface. But Airbus wants to extend the aircraft’s range and keep it flying for over three months without recharging. The aircraft has a ...

An Introduction to Protracted Desperation A question that never ceases to fascinate is that of how life originated, and how and why it has progressed as it seems to have. The official story and de rigueur explanation is that that life came about through spontaneous generation from seawater. Believing this is the mark of an Advanced Person, whether one has the slightest knowledge of the matter. In academia researchers have been fired and careers ruined for questioning it. If you doubt that scientists can be ideological herd animals, as petty, intolerant, vindictive, and backstabbing as professors, read Heretic, by the PhD biotechnologist and biochemist Matti Leisola, who fell on the wrong ...

TEHRAN (FNA)- Researchers have conducted one of the largest surveys of people's first memories, finding that nearly 40 per cent of people had a first memory which is fictional. Current research indicates that people's earliest memories date from around three to three-and-a-half years of age. However, the study from researchers at City, University of London, the University of Bradford and Nottingham Trent University found that 38.6 per cent of a survey of 6,641 people claimed to have memories from two or younger, with 893 people claiming memories from one or younger. This was particularly prevalent among middle-aged and older adults. To investigate people's first memories the ...

Solar Minimum has Arrived 03.06.06 Where have all the sunspots gone? Solar minimum has arrived. Every year in February, the students of Mrs. Phillips's 5th grade class in Bishop, California, celebrate Galileo's birthday (Feb. 15th) by repeating one of his discoveries. They prove that the sun spins. It's simple. Step 1: Look at the sun. Galileo did this using a primitive telescope; Mrs. Phillips's students use the internet. Step 2: Sketch the sunspots. Step 3: Repeat daily. After only a few days, it's obvious that the sunspots are moving and sun is spinning, performing one complete turn every 27 days. This procedure worked fine in 1610. But in 2006, "we had a ...
