In 1969, Apollo 11 astronauts saw mysterious flashes with their eyes closed. Scientists later found the cause

During the Apollo missions, astronauts noted peculiar flashes of light occurring inside their spacecraft. These experiences were later attributed to energetic cosmic rays penetrating their vision. NASA played a pivotal role in investigating these occurrences, establishing a firm link between the light flashes and cosmic radiation. This foundational work is…

In 1978, Russian physicist Anatoli Bugorski survived a proton beam passing through his head. The shocking result: one side of his face appeared frozen in time while the other continued to age

Anatoli Bugorski survived one of the strangest particle accelerator accidents ever recorded. In 1978, a high-energy proton beam from the Soviet U-70 accelerator passed through his head. The accident caused severe radiation damage. It also caused permanent hearing loss, facial paralysis and seizures. Yet Bugorski lived. He later completed his…

In 1967, US satellites searching for nuclear tests detected mysterious flashes from space. Decades later, scientists uncovered secrets of gamma-ray bursts, which can release more energy in 10 seconds than Sun will emit over its entire 10-billion-year lifetime

Gamma-ray bursts, first detected accidentally in 1967, have long puzzled astronomers. Recent observations of their afterglows are now challenging established theories. These powerful cosmic explosions release extraordinary amounts of energy in mere seconds. Ground-based observatories detect gamma rays indirectly through atmospheric interactions. These new findings suggest the physics behind these…

6 Proven Triggers That Accelerate Vitiligo Progression and What Your Skin Needs to Avoid

Sunburn and Unprotected UV ExposureUltraviolet radiation is one of the most documented accelerants of vitiligo. When UV rays damage skin cells in someone already living with the condition, the immune system's attack on melanocytes intensifies at the site of injury. This is called the Koebner phenomenon, new depigmentation appearing precisely…

Alabama researchers have tested ordinary and UV-protective umbrellas, and the specialised canopy was nearly 5°F cooler than full sun

Researchers from the University of Alabama at Birmingham have conducted a study on the effectiveness of handheld umbrellas in protecting against sun exposure. Their results revealed that traditional rain umbrellas can block a significant amount of harmful ultraviolet radiation. Moreover, silver-coated sun umbrellas offered even greater protection and cooling advantages.

How to Exfoliate Indian Skin Safely Without Worsening the Hyperpigmentation You Want to Fix

Why Indian Skin Has a Lower Tolerance for Aggressive ExfoliationMelanin-rich skin, Fitzpatrick types IV through VI, which covers the majority of Indian complexions, produces pigment as a defence response. Any inflammation, including the micro-inflammation caused by over-exfoliation, signals melanocytes to produce more melanin. The result is post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation: darker patches…

California painted an entire neighbourhood's roads a lighter colour; pavements became 5°C cooler, although the air fell by only about 0.2°C

A California experiment showed reflective coatings lowered road temperatures significantly. These cool pavements increase surface albedo, reflecting more solar radiation. However, traffic and pollution reduced the coating's effectiveness after one year. Cool pavements alone cannot entirely prevent urban overheating. Cities must combine this with green spaces and shade for better…
