☆ Massive explosions from the sun pose a radioactive triple threat to the moon, Earth, and Mars

An explosion from the sun blasted radiation into space, reaching the Earth, Mars, and the moon in 2021. These particles cannot harm humans on Earth, but they may harm people in space, research shows. These are called coronal mass ejections, and a particularly intense one produced particles that hit Mars, Earth, and the moon in October of 2021. That's why his team is in near constant communication with the Space Radiation Analysis group. In the future, similar safeguards could be established on the moon and Mars.

☆ The sun is growing more active, which could shower the moon with lethal doses of radiation and threaten the lives of astronauts who dare set foot on it

An explosion from the sun blasted radiation into space, reaching the Earth, Mars, and the moon in 2021. These are called coronal mass ejections, and a particularly intense one produced particles that hit Mars, Earth, and the moon in October of 2021. If there had been an astronaut up on the moon or Mars at the time these particles hit, they would've been exposed to radiation, though the levels were below a lethal dose. As the sun begins entering a more active stage, CMEs will likely become more common and stronger, which means more radiation risk for astronauts. That's why his team is in near constant communication with the Space Radiation Analysis group.

☆ Scientists document how space travel messes with the human brain

[1/2] The International Space Station (ISS) photographed by Expedition 56 crew members from a Soyuz spacecraft after undocking, October 4, 2018. Age-related ventricular enlargement - caused not by microgravity but by brain atrophy - can be associated with cognitive decline. This headward fluid shift likely results in ventricular expansion, and the brain sits higher within the skull." The study involved 23 male and seven female astronauts - average age around 47 - from the U.S., Canadian and European space agencies. Microgravity conditions also cause other physiological effects due to the reduced physical load on the human body.
