Light poles appeared in Komsomolsk-on-Amur

On January 4, residents of Komsomolsk-on-Amur in the Khabarovsk Territory witnessed very bright light poles. This beautiful optical phenomenon appears in severe frost, when tiny ice crystals in the air vertically reflect rays from ground-based light sources. When there are many pillars, a whole so-called light forest is formed. Previously, impressive light poles were noticed in Estonia. They appeared over the village of Simuna at a temperature of minus 16 degrees. New Year’s sale: discounts up to – 60% Anna Lysenko Even more interesting things about nature

The doctor said that the body suffers most from “omicron”

“Omicron undermines the sensitivity of an ordinary cell to interferons (a number of proteins secreted by the cells of the body in response to the invasion of the virus) and at the same time causes immunocompetent cells to produce less interferon,” the specialist explained. Omicron strain was first identified in early November in Botswana and South Africa. This variant of the coronavirus is distinguished by three dozen mutations that ensure its high contagiousness and resistance to immunity. In many countries, Omicron it has already led to a significant increase in morbidity. Vaccination remains the most reliable way to protect against coronavirus. According to the head of the Russian Ministry of Health Mikhail Murashko, the proportion of vaccinated among COVID-19 cases does not exceed four percent, severe cases are few, while the vast majority of patients in hospitals are unvaccinated. At the end of September in The WHO stated that mortality from SARS-CoV-2 was

The media are scaring the new version of the coronavirus in France. But he doesn’t bother the WHO. Why?

Referring to the preprint of a scientific article published online by Marseille doctors, as well as unnamed “French media”, dozens of TV and radio channels, newspapers and online publications (including very reputable ones) tell frightening details of a study that found an “atypical combination of mutations” in the coronavirus genome. According to these publications, the mutant virus, called IHU, penetrated into Europe from Cameroon and may even be more contagious than Omicron. Some popular publications report this already in the title. The BBC Russian service tells us what is true in this news and what is not. Heard the ringing (but it’s not accurate) As is usually the case in such cases, publications refer to the actual research, but at the same time they tell only part of the truth, without distinguishing between scientifically proven facts and expert opinions, and sometimes even publishing rumors and speculation under the guise of reliable

A bright “bonfire” in the constellation of Orion was shown in the photo

The colorful Flame nebula in the constellation Orion fully justifies its name in new photographs taken at the European Southern Observatory (ESO). In previous images of other telescopes, NGC 2024 looks more like a multicolored veil. But in the photo of the APEX telescope installed in the Chilean Atacama desert, the Flame nebula is photographed in the radio range and really looks like a bonfire. NGC 2024 is an emission nebula, that is, an interstellar cloud emitting in the optical range due to the ionization of its own gas. In the constellation of Orion, giant molecular clouds, consisting mainly of hydrogen, are located closest to the Sun. It is in them that new stars and planets are formed. These clouds lie at distances from 1300 to 1600 light-years from us and represent the most active “stellar nursery” in the vicinity of the Solar System, the ESO clarifies. New Year’s sale:
