This could be the ‘coronavirus game changer’ – Retracted study from Chinese medical journal warned the killer virus could be airborne
This new story over at the Daily Mail deserves immediate attention this morning because if true, we’re now witnessing a ‘coronavirus game changer’. As the Daily Mail story reported, doctors and scientists in China have been researching how one man there passed on the virus to 9 different people aboard a bus and 13 people in total and as that study concluded, not only can the virus be spread much further than previously believed, it can also ‘linger in the air for up to 30 minutes’.

Beyond Cold
An intensifying climate crisis threatens more than half of the world’s GDP, research says, and though they say its because of warming it also could be, will be, because of cooling. Cities and towns in Canada and many in the States and other parts of the world are being buried in snow bringing economic activity to a halt.

Most detailed images of the Sun ever captured show patterns of turbulent ‘boiling’ plasma with ‘cells’ the size of Texas that transport heat from the core to the surface
- The shots were taken by the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope on Maui, Hawaii
- Each cell has bright parts where plasma upwells and dark lanes where it sinks
- Such images will allow experts to study the Sun and the space weather it creates
- Predicting intense solar activity is important to protect technology here on Earth

Origin of Deep-Space Radio Flash Discovered, and It’s Unlike Anything Astronomers Have Ever Seen
Mysterious ultra-fast pinpricks of radio energy keep lighting up the night sky and nobody knows why. A newly discovered example of this transient phenomenon has been traced to its place of origin — a nearby spiral galaxy — but it’s only made things murkier for astronomers. Continue reading
