Odd flashes of light on the Moon have been observed for over a thousand years, with recent studies suggesting they may be caused by meteorite impacts or radon gas leaks, but their exact nature remains uncertain.
Mysterious lights on the moon, known as transient lunar phenomena (TLP), include brief flashes caused by meteoroid impacts, outgassing of radon gas, or light refraction from dust clouds, with some lasting hours possibly due to solar wind interactions. These phenomena have been observed for centuries and are studied using advanced monitoring programs like NELIOTA.
Many non-smokers develop lung cancer due to factors like radon gas exposure, secondhand smoke, air pollution, occupational hazards, and genetic mutations, highlighting the importance of awareness and preventive measures.
Lung cancer rates are rising among young, healthy non-smokers in the US, with one in ten diagnoses now in patients under 55. Researchers attribute this increase to factors such as radon gas exposure, vaping, cannabis use, and genetic mutations, rather than smoking alone. The trend is concerning as lung cancer remains the deadliest form of cancer, with significant mortality rates.
