The SARS outbreak originated in China and sickened people in several countries between 2002 and 2004. Though it was contained before it spread widely across the globe, more than 8,000 people were sickened by it and about 800 died as a result. Scientists have been tracking the survivors of SARS ever since, hoping to better understand the nature of coronaviruses that could be ca stanley cup pable of causing the next major pandemic. Unfortunately, as we all know now, that sus stanley cup picion turned out to be right on the money, and were currently in year two of the covid-19 pandemic, caused by SARS-CoV-2. SARS and SARS-CoV-2 are both stanley cup part of a lineage known as sarbecoviruses. And many of the early insights we had into the workings of the novel coronavirus were gleaned from studying people who survived SARS. One promising implication from this research, for instance, is that natural infection from SARS-CoV-2 could provide years, even decades, of long-lived immunity for most survivors鈥攕omething seen in survivors of SARS. This immunity to SARS doesnt seem to translate over to strong immunity to SARS-CoV-2, though. So survivors of the former have been getting vaccinated for covid-19. And that gave the researchers behind this study, published Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine, the opportunity to compare their immune responses to the vaccine to those of people who never had SARS. They studied the blood of vaccinated SARS survivors health care workers in Singapore , unvaccinated SARS surv Ehsi The Wheel of Time Takes Another Spin in Its First Season 2 Sneak Peek
of around 1,284 previously undiscovered planets and our never-ending fascination with the final frontier that just seems to be moving closer to a reality. But out of the thousands of planets that we know of, how many are set to support life In the short documentary The Search for Earth Proxima, created by Speculative Films, scientists discuss current missions to discover habitable planets, and the probability is a lot higher than youd expect. According to the video, one out of every two stars has a potentially habitable planet, or a proper space for one, which they call the Goldilocks zone. If you want to narrow down those odds and focus on a specific galaxy, then the possibilities get even greater. Looking at our closest system neighbor, Alpha Centauri, the odds of finding a habitable planet rise to around 85 percent. Seems like a good place to start. The second half of the video takes a look at the current mi stanley cup ssion to find life in surrounding the Alpha Centauri stars: Mission Centaur. Researchers involved with the Silicon Valley-based nonprofit highlight a specialized telescope. Most telescopes have a way of ge stanley usa tting around the brightness of stars blocking the view of orbiting bodies, but most dont account for a binary star system like Alpha Centauri. This telescope will potentially block the light from both stars, allowing workers on the project to get the best view of the syste stanley cup nz m.
