DNA methylation is what occurs when methyl groups, an epigenetic factor found in some dietary sources, can tag DNA and activate or repress genes. Histones are proteins around which DNA can wind for compaction and gene regulation. Histone modification occurs when the binding of epigenetic factors to histone “tails” alters the extent to which DNA is wrapped around histones and the availability of genes in the DNA to be activated. All of these factors and processes can have an effect on people’s health and influence their health possibly resulting in cancer, autoimmune disease, mental disorders, or diabetes among other illnesses.

In late 2019 and early 2020, however, Betelgeuse has undergone a unusually deep minima, when it's magnitude dropped to about +1.6.

More volcanoes are known on Venus than Earth, but when Venusian volcanoes last erupted is not directly known. Evidence bolstering very recent volcanism on Venus has recently been uncovered, though, right here on Earth. Lab results showed that images of surface lava would become dim in the infrared in only months in the dense Venusian atmosphere, a dimming not seen in ESA's Venus Express images. Venus Express entered orbit around Venus in 2006 and remained in contact with Earth until 2014. Therefore, the infrared glow (shown in false-color red) recorded by Venus Express for Idunn Mons and featured here on a NASA Magellan image indicates that this volcano erupted very recently -- and is still active today. Understanding the volcanics of Venus might lead to insight about the volcanics on Earth, as well as elsewhere in our Solar System. "

The models take into account known properties of the system, including the temperature of the star and the planet’s orbital distance. The temperature of the dayside of Mercury is also shown for reference. The dayside brightness of TRAPPIST-1 b at 15 microns corresponds to a temperature of about 500 kelvins (roughly 450 degrees Fahrenheit). This is consistent with the temperature assuming the planet is tidally locked (one side facing the star at all times), with a dark-colored surface, no atmosphere, and no redistribution of heat from the dayside to the nightside. If the heat energy from the star were distributed evenly around the planet (for example, by a circulating carbon dioxide-free atmosphere), the temperature at 15 microns would be 400 kelvins (260 degrees Fahrenheit). If the atmosphere had a substantial amount of carbon dioxide, it would emit even less 15-micron light and would appear to be even cooler. Although TRAPPIST-1 b is hot by Earth standards, it is cooler than the dayside of Mercury, which consists of bare rock and no significant atmosphere. Mercury receives about 1.6 times more energy from the Sun than TRAPPIST-1 b does from its star. Credits: Illustration: NASA, ESA, CSA, J.

Every 1 kelvin, a sample was computed as follow :

The location of residual liquid fuel (methane) is shown in the highlighted red region. During entry, the fuel main tank is isolated from the transfer tube such that liquid fuel residuals are fully contained within the approximately 13-meter long transfer tube that runs through the liquid oxygen (LOX) tank. The locations of residual LOX are shown in the highlighted blue regions. LOX residuals will exist in both the LOX main tank, the LOX header tank, and the LOX header tank feedlines. LOX main tank residuals will be mostly concentrated on the windward side of the tank due to the drag force experienced by the vehicle falling through the atmosphere." 4 April 2023 source: https://www.faa.gov/media/27236 can be accessed at https://www.faa.gov/space/stakeholder_engagement/spacex_starship Author: Federal Aviation Administration, Office of Commercial Space Transportation
