Upcoming Lyrid Meteor Shower May Be Hard to See

Upcoming , Lyrid Meteor Shower , May Be Hard to See. 'The Independent' reports that skywatchers looking to catch the Lyrid meteor shower may be foiled by the moon. . This year's peak activity occurs on April 21 and 22, with up to 20 meteors expected per hour. . Potential viewing should last through April 29. . However, the American Meteor Society warns that strong moonlight may interfere with viewing. . Every year, multiple meteor showers occur and don't require special equipment to see them. . For the most part, meteor showers originate from debris left behind by comets, like the Lyrids, which come from the comet Thatcher. . As these space rocks enter the Earth's atmosphere, air resistance makes them extremely hot, which causes the air around them to glow. This glow leaves a fiery trail behind the meteor, which can be observed from the ground as a "shooting star.". Look to the northeast and just keep staring at the same spot in the sky. It's always impressive when you see these things, Don Pollacco, University of Warwick astronomer, via 'The Independent'. The Lyrids are best viewed from the Northern Hemisphere, while the upcoming Eta Aquarids meteor shower can best be seen from the Southern Hemisphere.

EPA Takes Aim at US Chemical Emissions That Are Likely Carcinogens [Video]

EPA Takes Aim at US Chemical Emissions That Are Likely Carcinogens

EPA Takes Aim at, US Chemical Emissions, That Are Likely Carcinogens. 'The Independent' reports that over 200 chemical plants in the United States will be required to reduce toxic emissions under a new rule. . The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released the new rule regarding toxic emissions likely to cause cancer on April 9. The rule is meant to deliver critical health protections for communities faced with industrial pollution from dangerous chemicals, such as chloroprene and ethyl oxide. The rule will significantly reduce emissions from the Denka Performance Elastomer facility in LaPlace, Louisiana. The facility is the largest producer of chloroprene emissions in the U.S., according to EPA Administrator Michael Regan. Every community in this country deserves to breathe clean air. That’s why I took the Journey to Justice tour to communities like St. John the Baptist Parish, where residents have borne the brunt of toxic air for far too long, Michael Regan, EPA Administrator, via 'The Independent'. We promised to listen to folks that are suffering from pollution and act to protect them. Today we deliver on that promise with strong final standards to slash pollution, reduce cancer risk and ensure cleaner air for nearby communities, Michael Regan, EPA Administrator, via 'The Independent'. According to officials, the changes are meant to reduce ethylene oxide and chloroprene emissions in the U.S. by nearly 80%. 'The Independent' reports that the rule updates several regulations on chemical plant emissions that have not been altered in nearly 20 years. The EPA said that the new rule will reduce a total of over 6,200 tons of toxic air pollutants annually in an effort to address health risks in neighboring communities

Scientists Capture Radio Signals From Long-Dormant Star [Video]

Scientists Capture Radio Signals From Long-Dormant Star

Scientists Capture , Radio Signals , From Long-Dormant Star. 'The Independent' reports that scientists have been puzzled after receiving unprecedented radio signals from a previously dormant star. The star, named XTE J1810-197, is a magnetar. . Magnetars are a type of neutron star and are the most powerful magnets in the universe. XTE J1810-197 is the nearest known magnetar to Earth, about 8,000 light years away. Now, scientists have received radio pulses from the dormant star that do not fit previous expectations. Unlike the radio signals we’ve seen from other magnetars, this one is emitting enormous amounts of rapidly changing circular polarisation. We had never seen anything like this before, Marcus Lower, Postdoctoral fellow at Australia’s national science agency, CSIRO, via 'The Independent'. Scientists discovered that the new pulses are emitting a type of spiraling light that is different from the polarized light emitted by most other magnetars. In 2003, XTE J1810-197 became the first known magnetar to produce a radio signal. After being discovered, the magnetar then went silent for over a decade. . The team that discovered it said that the findings could change our understanding of intense magnetic fields. The signals emitted from this magnetar imply that interactions at the surface of the star are more complex than previous theoretical explanations, Manisha Caleb, University of Sydney, a co-author on the study, via 'The Independent'. The team's findings were published in the journal 'Nature Astronomy.'

Yvette Cooper backs Angela Rayner amid questions over tax

Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has expressed her support for Angela Rayner despite questions surrounding whether the deputy leader should have paid capital gains tax on the sale of her old council house in 2015. Ms Cooper hopes a line will be drawn under the issue when Ms Rayner sets out the facts to the police and HMRC, and argues the Conservatives are attempting to focus on this from 10 years ago rather than the current pressures on the NHS and the cost of living.

Rishi Sunak has defended backlash from the latest NHS figures which show waiting lists have risen by 330,000 since he promised to cut them, insisting that the government's plan is working. "Whilst we haven't made as much progress as I would have liked, today's figures show we are making headway towards that goal. Over the last five months, there has been a reduction of around 200,000 in the overall waiting list which is positive and if it wasn't for industrial action, an extra 430,000 patients would have been treated," he added.
