| Posted: 11 Jan 2022 04:01 AM PST Proof: https://mobile.twitter.com/nasastem/status/1479535826988060676 NASA's Human Exploration Research Analog, also known as HERA, is a unique three-story habitat designed to simulate the isolation, confinement, and remote conditions in long-term exploration scenarios. Beginning January 28th our crew will enter the habitat for a simulated mission to one of the Martian moons. Once inside, the crew will experience increasing delays in communicating with the outside world – five minutes in total once the destination is reached! Such delays will force the crew – and those coordinating their journey – to practice communicating in ways that minimize impacts to mission operations and allow the crew sufficient autonomy to accomplish the mission. Will the stress of being enclosed with little contact to the outside world take a toll on team dynamics? Will that same stress take a toll on crew health? Will virtual assistants and other new technologies created to help astronauts on deep-space missions work with HERA crew as intended? We can't wait to answer your questions! Here to answer your questions are:
We'll be ready to go at 1 pm ET (18 UT), ask us anything! [link] [comments] |

| Ask Anything Wednesday - Engineering, Mathematics, Computer Science Posted: 12 Jan 2022 07:00 AM PST Welcome to our weekly feature, Ask Anything Wednesday - this week we are focusing on Engineering, Mathematics, Computer Science Do you have a question within these topics you weren't sure was worth submitting? Is something a bit too speculative for a typical /r/AskScience post? No question is too big or small for AAW. In this thread you can ask any science-related question! Things like: "What would happen if...", "How will the future...", "If all the rules for 'X' were different...", "Why does my...". Asking Questions: Please post your question as a top-level response to this, and our team of panellists will be here to answer and discuss your questions. The other topic areas will appear in future Ask Anything Wednesdays, so if you have other questions not covered by this weeks theme please either hold on to it until those topics come around, or go and post over in our sister subreddit /r/AskScienceDiscussion , where every day is Ask Anything Wednesday! Off-theme questions in this post will be removed to try and keep the thread a manageable size for both our readers and panellists. Answering Questions: Please only answer a posted question if you are an expert in the field. The full guidelines for posting responses in AskScience can be found here. In short, this is a moderated subreddit, and responses which do not meet our quality guidelines will be removed. Remember, peer reviewed sources are always appreciated, and anecdotes are absolutely not appropriate. In general if your answer begins with 'I think', or 'I've heard', then it's not suitable for /r/AskScience. If you would like to become a member of the AskScience panel, please refer to the information provided here. Past AskAnythingWednesday posts can be found here. Ask away! [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 11 Jan 2022 05:01 AM PST I hear conflicting things about dangers of this technology. I know the danger varies by shape and length of the carbon but to what extent, I couldn't find out those answers on my own. [link] [comments] |
| What makes a liquid foam up when beaten? Posted: 12 Jan 2022 06:02 AM PST there is no foaming when i beat water, but there is foaming in latte for example. Why is that? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Jan 2022 03:07 PM PST When it comes to diseases like measles, in most cases, once our body fights off the disease we are granted lifetime immunity. When it comes to the flu, immunity is mostly temporary because of mutation. But what about viruses such as HSV or HIV/AIDS where we have to rely on medication for the rest of our lives to keep fighting? Why is our body unable to recognize the virus and fight it to develop natural immunity over time? [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 12 Jan 2022 06:41 AM PST On one hand, I could see the rate slowing down, if most of the easy-to-reach sites had been found, and as development paves and builds over more land, making it inaccessible. On the other hand, I could see it speeding up, as more building projects break more ground, or as more scientists enter these fields worldwide. What I'm really getting at, I suppose, is... do we have any sense of what the future holds? Is it an exciting time in archaeology/peleontology, or should we expect that the best finds are behind us, with the exception of an occasional big discovery? Is there any way to know? Related, are there any mathematical models related to this question, similar to how peak oil theories try to predict how much oil can be feasibly reached? [link] [comments] |

| How accurate are earthquake predictions? Posted: 11 Jan 2022 11:11 PM PST I read in another thread that the interpretation of seismic silences can be accounted by poissonian distribution, so all events are independent from one another. I ask this because where I live there's lately been talk of an 8.8 magnitude earthquake, given the past history. Also, if it turns out that events are actually not independent, how feasible would it be for foreshocks to extend into the months? There's been two moderate quakes within less than a month here and for the last couple of years I've noticed they've become more common. [link] [comments] |
| How are we able to determine how far away any given animal can smell something? Posted: 12 Jan 2022 05:55 AM PST I just popped open a drink, and the lid had an animal fact that Polar Bears can smell a Seal from 20 miles away, so I wondered how they determine something like that. How do they factor-in weather or wind? And then how do they work this out for aquatic animals? That one really gets me because the particles are suspended in the water, and presumably the smell can't go any further than the further particulate. [link] [comments] |
| Is it possible to have groups G and H such that G is a subgroup of H and H is a subgroup of G? Posted: 11 Jan 2022 06:27 PM PST obviously I mean when H and G are not isomorphic, otherwise the integers would work. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 10 Jan 2022 04:15 AM PST Once the telescope is fully deployed, calibrated and in position at L2 do scientist have something they've prioritized to observe? I would imagine there is quite a queue of observations scientists want to make. How do they decide which one is the first and does it have a reason for being first? [link] [comments] |
| how long does the lifecycle of influenza last? Posted: 11 Jan 2022 08:45 PM PST what I mean is how long does it take between one being born inside a cell. emerging. infecting a new cell and creating more? how long does that process take? [link] [comments] |
| Why do your white blood cells not attack tattoo ink thus getting rid of them? Posted: 11 Jan 2022 08:39 AM PST |

| Can the James Webb telescope discover the source of super massive black holes? Posted: 11 Jan 2022 12:22 PM PST So from what I understand we don't know where they come from. Stellar black holes come from collapsed stars, but galactic super massive are too big to have grown that big considering the age of the universe. If James Webb can look far back in time, might it see how these things were seeded/formed? [link] [comments] |

| Is JWST going to give us better images of galaxy filaments and the cosmic web? Posted: 11 Jan 2022 12:41 AM PST And if not, are there instruments operating or being planned that are dedicated to this area specifically? I'm also interested to know if there's a 3D model made of currently observed filament structure and if it's possible to view it somehow on a computer software. [link] [comments] |
| How much can boiling a pot of water raise the humidity in a building? Posted: 10 Jan 2022 09:28 PM PST My question is because at my cabin that is heated by a wood stove it gets very dry and we always put a pale of water on the stove to counter act the fire. With out the water every time you walk around and you touch something you get a static shock. With the water on the stove it stops. I'm just wondering how much change a small bucket of water can make in a whole cabin. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Jan 2022 06:43 AM PST The past couple years, delta-8 THC was being screwed as a legally produced alternative to conventional delta-9 THC products. Recently, I've seen new products marketed as containing delta-9 THC, somehow legalized under the same provision. What's the difference between this hemp-derived d9-THC and traditional d9-THC? Is there a chemical difference, like with delta-8? Is it solely a legal distinction? Is it a difference in production? [link] [comments] |
