NASA has warned that the sun is becoming active and can slam Earth with extreme solar storms in the coming weeks. We are aware of the coomunications disruptions geostorms can cause; however, a study has revealed that they can wreak havoc on human health. Researchers from the National Institute for Space Research (INPE) in Brazil have noted a bizarre consequence of solar storms striking the invisible shield around Earth. They revealed that women were at a three times higher risk of heart attacks [...]

The average size of trees in the Amazon rainforest has been steadily increasing due to the rising levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere, according to a new study. The trees are increasing in size by more than three per cent every ten years, the analysis said. The study, ‘Increasing tree size across Amazonia’, was published in the journal Nature Plants on September 25. It was carried out by an international team of around 100 scientists from more than 60 universities [...]

Imagine looking up at the Sun and realizing that its temper tantrums might be subtly influencing your heart. It may sound like science fiction, but a new study by Brazilian researchers suggests a tangible link between solar activity and heart attacks, particularly in women. This research, published in Nature Communications Medicine, provides a fascinating window into how space weather—the storms that ripple through our solar system—might affect human health here on Earth. Earth’s [...]

Recent research published in the journal Communications Medicine highlights a possible link between disturbances in Earth's magnetic field caused by solar storms and an increased frequency of heart attacks, with a marked effect noted among women. This finding emerges from an analysis of health data collected from the public health system of São José dos Campos, São Paulo, Brazil, during a period of heightened solar activity between 1998 and 2005. The study focused [...]

Astronomers led by Valerio Carruba of São Paulo State University (UNESP) have identified a largely unseen population of asteroids co‑orbiting the Sun in resonance with Venus, objects few have noticed, but which may one day pose serious risk to Earth, his team published findings in Astronomy & Astrophysics. These Venus co‑orbital asteroids, also known as 1:1 mean‑motion resonant objects, share roughly the same orbital period around the Sun as Venus, without being satellites of [...]

Scientists have identified a hidden population of asteroids orbiting the Sun near Venus, which may pose a potential threat to Earth. This revelation comes from a recent study led by Valerio Carruba, an astronomer at São Paulo State University in Brazil. The research, published in Astronomy & Astrophysics , delves into the little-known category of Venusian co-orbital asteroids—celestial objects that complete their orbits in sync with Venus but are challenging to detect from [...]

Regular exercise can improve right and left side heart nerves, holding out hope for treating broken-heart syndrome effectively. Consistent exercise not only improves the heart function, but also modifies the nerve cluster on both the sides of the heart that control it (1✔). Scientists from the University of Bristol (UK), conducted research on the effects of aerobics on heart nerves, the study was published in the journal Autonomic Neuroscience. Normal aerobic workout [...]

Microplastics, the tiny plastic particles smaller than five millimeters, have emerged as one of the most pressing environmental and public health concerns of our time. Continuous research shows their presence not only in oceans, soil, and air but increasingly inside the human body. Now, a groundbreaking review reveals microplastics have been detected in human bones. Since plastics take a lot of time to decompose, these microplastics originate either from larger plastic items breaking apart or [...]

The Amazon rainforest exhibits surprising growth, with trees expanding due to increased carbon dioxide levels, acting as a natural fertilizer. Larger trees dominate, enhancing carbon storage crucial for mitigating climate change. However, scientists caution that rising temperatures and extreme weather events pose threats to this flourishing forest, potentially disrupting tree growth and releasing stored carbon back into the atmosphere. Growing trees are always a blessing and a promise of [...]
