Killer Solar Flares Are a Physical Impossibility, Experts Say

Given a legitimate need to protect Earth from the most intense forms of space weather great bursts of electromagnetic energy and particles that can sometimes stream from the sun  some people worry that a gigantic "killer solar flare" could hurl enough energy to destroy Earth. Citing the accurate fact that solar activity is currently ramping up in its standard 11-year cycle, there are those who believe that 2012 could be coincident with such a flare.But this same solar cycle has occurred over millennia. Anyone over the age of 11 has already lived through such a solar maximum with no harm. In addition, the next solar maximum is predicted to occur in late 2013 or early 2014, not 2012.

 The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory spacecraft captured this image of a solar flare as it erupted from the sun early on Tuesday, October 28, 2003. This was the most powerful flare measured with modern methods.  Most importantly, however, there simply isn't enough energy in the sun to send a killer fireball 93 million miles to destroy Earth.

Now that I know this im starting to think more deeply about the earth and the enviorment. I still cant belive tis fact though. This makes me feel smart becasue I learned something new, and I learn something really big.

Molecule That Prevents Type 1 Diabetes in Mice Discovered; Has Similar Effect On Human Cells

The findings, published in the latest edition of The Journal of Immunology, signal a new and promising direction in the fight against type I diabetes along with other autoimmune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and celiac disease.

I found this very interesting, because it can change us all, and I am looking foward to learning more about it!

Alternating training improves motor learning (Current Event)

            Alternating training improves motor learning

 Just a few days ago scientists discovered that alternating training improves motor learning. According to the Journal of Neuroscience. Researchers from the Kennedy Krieger Institute found that forcing people to switch from a normal walking pattern to an unusual one — and back again — made them better able to adjust to the unusual pattern the following day. The findings may help improve therapy for people relearning how to walk following stroke or other injury.

I find this interesting, coz it's the frist time im writing about something like this. Also I never knew that altertating training inproves motor learning. I didnt really get this 100% but I think I know wht they are talking about.

The rainbow experiment

Today in class we made experiments and made a rainbox experiment. In this picture you can see me holding the experiment and my friend Sooyoung next to me. :)

Scientists Discover 'Fickle' DNA Changes in Brain

Just two days ago, scientists finished there reaserch on the mice brain. They concluded that there are some DNA changes in brain. Doctor Johns Hopkins is still investingating this chemical change. They say that this change can be dangerous and may provide more diseases for the adult miceAnyway, this also may leed to a good thing.

I think that scientists are trying their best to find more about this adult mice  chemical change. To be honest there wasnt much information about this topic becasue its new, but I think it will be a big thing, once it's discovered.  In my opinion i think that this is an interesting topic to write about, and it made me feel wierd.

Raptor Fossils

New Raptor Fossils

Fossils from the six-foot long Talos Samposonsi who lived approximately 75 million years before out time in Utah area reveal new information about Raptor Dinosaurs.

New founding strengthened the theory that the raptor dinosaur carried its giant toe off the ground, which explains why raptor tracks lack claw marks.

Most likely, the dinosaur used its claw to pin down small animals and slash bigger prey.

Further more, analysis of this new fossil suggests that the raptor was an omnivore. 

With an injured claw it was unable to hunt and had to eat plants and other food in other to survive while healing. Its teeth also revel structure of those found in plant eating reptiles. 

However, the scientists insist, the true behavior of this animal with always remain controversial and new evidence can only help us make better hypothesis.

Scientific Summer

This Summer I did a lot of things. Some of those things were Scientific and some were not, but I have some interesting things to write about. One of the things that were scientific were Tanning, going on roller coaster rides and shopping. HAHAHAHAH Im kidding, Shopping is not really a scientific thing. :PPP But It was fun.. As I was saying I did a lot of tanning during the summer, and that's scientific because when you are tanning your skin changes color, because of the sun. The sun is very hot and sometimes when you tan a lot you can get skin cancer, but anyway I have more about the other topics I did that were scientific. I also planted flowers, I had to figure out the procedure and everything. I think that this is scientific becasue its something to do with nature.
