School is starting, parents are out shopping for their kids’ new clothes and school supplies already, and college students are preparing for their annual return to campus. What’s a person to do with the last few remaining weeks of summer? Well, I can’t tell you what to do or not to do, but I can offer these five tips for ending your summer well. Whether they work for you or not, you won’t know until you try them. But it’s a good bet that you be disappointed with the results if you only try. 1. Finish what you started. Sometimes we find ourselves putting off the end of a project because we believe we’ll always have time “later.”...

That said perhaps there is one aspect of flying that should be of concern - exposure to radiation from outer space, cosmic rays, in other words. Buzzing along at high altitudes in a passenger jet exposes each passenger to a much higher dose of radiation than they would receive if they chose to travel by road, rail, or sea. Of course, the risk has to be offset with the exposure to vehicle pollution, for instance, and the much longer journey times (check-in security delays aside). However, although we often hear about the exposure to low dose radiation air passengers receive, the...

The disease can be caused by radiation from the cosmic rays and solar flares astronauts encounter when they travel beyond the Earth's protective magnetic layer or magnetosphere.British scientists are working on rectifying this problem by creating a Star Trek-style deflector shield to protect astronauts from radiation.Think about this:Scientists wish to mimic the magnetic field that protects the Earth with shields deployed around spacecraft and on the surfaces of planets to deflect harmful energetic particles. Details, presented at the Royal Astronomical Society's National Astronomy Meeting in Preston, UK, include the followi...
