rjshae Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Potential Third Planet Discovered Orbiting Proxima Centauri Quote Using data from the Echelle SPectrograph for Rocky Exoplanets and Stable Spectroscopic Observations (ESPRESSO) on ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT), astronomers have detected a candidate short-period sub-Earth planet circling Proxima Centauri, a red dwarf located only 4.23 light-years away in the constellation of Centaurus. Hopefully, the Webb ST will be able to give us a better picture of the system using its coronagraph. 2 "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."

rjshae Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Confessions of a former fireball: How Earth became habitable Quote Most scientists believe that Earth began with an atmosphere much like that of the planet Venus. Its skies were filled with carbon dioxide—more than 100,000 times the current level of atmospheric carbon—and Earth's surface temperature would have exceeded 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Biological life would have been unable to form, much less survive under such conditions, scientists agree. "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."

rjshae Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Webb Space Telescope Completes First Multi-Instrument Alignment Quote The sixth stage of aligning NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s mirrors to its scientific instruments so they will create the most accurate and focused images possible has concluded. While the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) continues its cooldown, optics teams have successfully aligned the rest of the observatory’s onboard instruments to Webb’s mirrors. Previous alignment efforts were so accurate that the team concluded no additional adjustments to the secondary mirror are necessary until the seventh and final stage, which will involve MIRI when it has fully cooled.

rjshae Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Speaking of "sound" treatments, I read this interesting result recently: Diabetes successfully treated using ultrasound in preclinical study Quote Promising new research has raised the possibility of treating type 2 diabetes without drugs. Across three different animal models researchers have demonstrated how short bursts of ultrasound targeted at specific clusters of nerves in the liver can effectively lower insulin and glucose levels. It "sounds" almost like an archaic medical treatment, but if it works that will be enormous. 2 "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."

Bartimaeus Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Regular Blood Donations Can Reduce Toxic Forever Chemicals in the Bloodstream Forever chemicals has long been a concern of mine - bloodletting's not exactly my ideal method of figuring a way to get them out of the body, but at least it's there as a possible way to reduce them. Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

majestic Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 It only took 600 years, but now those medieval quacks have been vindicated. Turns out apparently there is a way how wet cupping can detox you even without suffering from haemochromatosis. Who would have thought? Just checked, theoretically I could donate blood plasma 50 times per year, i.e. pretty much once per week, and it pays 30€ per donation to boot. Huh. That's a pretty penny and has health benefits. Regular medical checkups and blood testing included. Win-win-win, I guess. 3 No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.

rjshae Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 All of the bases in DNA and RNA have now been found in meteorites Quote Space rocks that fell to Earth within the last century contain the five bases that store information in DNA and RNA, scientists report April 26 in Nature Communications. These “nucleobases” — adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine and uracil — combine with sugars and phosphates to make up the genetic code of all life on Earth. Whether these basic ingredients for life first came from space or instead formed in a warm soup of earthly chemistry is still not known (SN: 9/24/20). But the discovery adds to evidence that suggests life’s precursors originally came from space, the researchers say. Which pretty much suggests that life can form anywhere that the conditions are right. Now if we could just find some elsewhere... 3 "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."

After full review, the observatory has been confirmed to be capable of capturing crisp, well-focused images with each of its four powerful onboard science instruments. Upon completing the seventh and final stage of telescope alignment, the team held a set of key decision meetings and unanimously agreed that Webb is ready to move forward into its next and final series of preparations, known as science instrument commissioning. This process will take about two months before scientific operations begin in the summer. 1 "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."
