6of1_halfdozenofother Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 So glad I caught it yesterday. Looks like tonight might not have any aurora appearances in the Lower Mainland (or if it happens, towards the morning before daybreak). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6of1_halfdozenofother Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 NOAA is predicting between 2am and 5am as the time when the coronal mass ejection will make its next spurt appear in our sky's magnetic field. https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/communities/aurora-dashboard-experimental under "3-day forecast" (UT stands for UTC, which is essentially Greenwich Mean Time, so -7 hours to get PDT).

Yet, with a slight reframing of the query, the response could prove unexpectedly intriguing. According to Scientific American, the answer depends on the framing of the question or the person's point of view, and the answer to how many moons the Earth has could be up to eleven. ----------------------- mal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6of1_halfdozenofother Posted Thursday at 06:03 AM Share Posted Thursday at 06:03 AM I was originally going to share this in the vaccine thread, since it's an offshoot of the pandemic thread from the old forum, but because the vaccine thread is now primarily about vaccines, and this article isn't, I guess this Science thread is the next closest approximation. https://theconversation.com/masks-work-our-comprehensive-review-has-found-229658 Masks work. Of course, the better the fit and the better the filtration method, the higher the efficacy. Cloth masks won't filter much, but an N-95 or other respirator is likely to be very effective in minimizing the likelihood of infection - if worn and used properly. Who knew, eh? excerpt: Quote The bottom line When we looked at RCTs, we found that masks do protect in the community, and N95 respirators (masks made using higher-grade filtration material and designed to fit closely around the face to protect against airborne contaminants) are superior to masks in healthcare workers, especially when respirators were worn continuously at work. Non-RCT evidence also shows that masks work and respirators work better. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
