Radiation dosage on Lunar surface “safe for long-term human exploration”
Guest “Let’s light this candle!” by David Middleton Moon safe for long-term human exploration, first surface radiation measurements show By Adam Mann Sep. 25, 2020 , 2:00 PM Moonwalkers take heart—China’s Chang’e 4 lander has made the first detailed measurements of the intense radiation that blasts the lunar surface and found that it’s safe for human……
More surfacestations project vindication: Strong UHI temperature biases confirmed in USA
WUWT readers may recall that NOAA did an experiment at Oak Ridge National Laboratory that vindicated my findings about the effects of local urbanization on surface temperature measurements. The urban heat island (UHI) effect is strongly affected by urban-scale changes to local land surfaces. Basically, the more asphalt, concrete, buildings, etc. that exist near a……
Study: Global Warming Hiatus (aka “The Pause”) Was Real
From the GWPF and the better late than never department: (the paper was published in late 2019 but seems pretty solid, using Oxygen18 isotope analysis) – Anthony A new analysis of global air temperature by researchers from Tongji University in Shanghai has cast light on the much debated recent hiatus in global temperature. Writing in……
Improved models show stronger climate change signal in the tropical Atlantic – or not
Comparative study of the GEOMAR illustrates dependence on model resolution Climate models can only provide an approximation to the real world. Some models still suffer from relatively large biases in the sea surface temperatures of the tropical Atlantic. A new study by GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel shows that in a model with……
First-ever planet may have been found in another galaxy
First Candidate for a Planet in an External Galaxy In a surprise paper, a team of researchers from the U.S. and China has found the first evidence for a candidate planet in another galaxy. The planet candidate lies in the M51 Whirlpool Galaxy and is approximately 23 million light years away. M51 lies relatively close……
Ladybug Lost
This is the time of year that ladybugs start to look for places to spend the winter. They don’t migrate like songbirds, but hibernate, more like bears or turtles. Many of us find ladybugs inside our homes once the weather starts to get cold.…
