The threat of solar storms of a thousand years


On 13 and 14 March 1989, not long ago, the Earth experienced the largest geomagnetic storm that has been beaten in decades. The ionized particles from the sun caused a blackout in Quebec (Canada), leaving 5 million people without electricity for nine hours in winter and causing damage worth millions and millions of dollars. They also destroyed a costly transformer in the U.S. repair and sent two teams similar in the UK. During the "temporary" space agency lost track of some of its 1,600 probes and satellites. 

Sunspot 1429 will point to the Earth


Sunspot 1429, causing intense solar storms that occurred earlier this month, comes back on Thursday in the face of the Sun which is oriented toward the Earth, as reported by the Space Weather Observatory.
Experts have explained that "it is unusual for an active region has been the source of so many and such high solar activity is able to maintain much of its integrity and effective capacity after full rotation of the Sun's far side" of there has been a surprise this 'return'.
In response, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has begun warning of possible new large flares, which could reach the category M (second strongest), from Thursday. But has appealed to the tranquility and pointed out that "in this new spot around 1429 must be, necessarily, of lower intensity than that experienced before," and indicated that "falls within the current parameters completely normal solar cycle.

STORM RADIATION EARTH SHAKING


The strong solar radiation storm is already impacting the Earth and it is believed that could affect power lines, satellite navigation systems and air routes. The phenomenon originated from two large solar flares that occurred earlier this week. And the storm will impact particularly in the areas near the poles, so that many airline pilots are advised to change their routes to avoid these areas. But there is a high probability of seeing aurora Boreas and Australia in these regions, if the sky is clear.
Joseph Hunches, an expert on the U.S. government weather agency   for its acronym in English, described the storm as the solar version of Super Tuesday, referring to the Republican primary that took place in ten states.

SOLAR STORM WILL BE GLOWINGIN 2012


NASA shows us how to be the great solar storm in 2012. "This hole is spinning toward Earth, which is causing solar storms of medium intensity, as the last recorded in the months August, September and October and possibly causing large geomagnetic storm in 2012" 
A stunning new image of the sun captured by NASA spacecraft called the Solar Dynamics Observatory (S DO), by acronym in English, show a hole in the solar corona, a region where the magnetic field opens up and allows solar wind to escape. This hole is spinning toward Earth, which could produce a geomagnetic storm.

SOLAR STORM IS FORECAST IN 2012.


NASA experts have again warned of potential danger to Earth the explosion of a single large solar storm in 2012, generated more than 150 million miles away, on the surface of the Sun An extreme solar activity intense in the coming years are expected increasing levels, this would cause an unprecedented disaster.
Our energy and communications systems would be seriously damaged by application of the solar plasma and our comfortable Western life system, which relies more than ever on technology, would collapse like a house of cards. Not for the first time NASA made this warning. Two years ago, released a study that predicted even millions of deaths in 2012 if the sun discharged its "perfect storm."

A low level IQ test contrubits to Premature Death of Lung cancer


The University of Glasgow by according to research developed that the premature death is related to the level of intelligence, as likely to die at an early age increases by 17% for every 15 negative points in the IQ test, but not only the related test of intelligence is also the chosen university is about diseases that cause death.
A low IQ is associated with premature death, according to research developed by the University of  Glasgow, Scotland, over 1,000 aspects of the lives of thousands of people over 70 years. The research results are published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine. 

Microscopic Image of an Ependymoma


More new step for accurate diagnosis of cancer. Researchers in France and the UK have identified a link between specific chromosomal abnormalities and increased risk of death in children suffering from a fatal variant of brain cancer. The results could help develop a diagnostic test that identifies patients at increased risk for ependymoma, an intracranial gloomy which constitutes 10% of the central nervous system tumors in children. The findings, published in Clinical Cancer Research, could help to develop a diagnostic test that would identify younger patients with an increased risk of ependymoma and that may require more intensive treatment to survive the disease.
