Research suggests that exposure to red light may reduce blood clot formation by influencing platelet activity and immune responses through the eye-brain pathway, potentially lowering the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Human observational data hints that blue light filtering lenses could also decrease clot risk, especially in cancer patients, but further clinical trials are needed to confirm these findings and explore light-based prevention strategies.
A lawyer representing the owners of an LGBT+ bar in St. Louis alleges that a police SUV, which crashed into the bar, had run a red light moments before the incident. Surveillance video posted on social media shows the police vehicle running a stop light in the Carondelet neighborhood. The crash occurred as the bar was closing, and conflicting stories have emerged regarding the cause of the crash. The officer behind the wheel admitted to being distracted and changing his in-car radio just before the collision, while the bar owner claims the officer tried to avoid a dog in the roadway. No toxicology tests were conducted, and the police cruiser did not have a dashcam.
A Kansas man captured photos of a strange reddish-pink light in the sky, which experts believe could be a rare atmospheric event known as Stable Auroral Red (SAR) arcs or Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement (STEVE). While auroras are typically associated with strong solar storms, NASA's Solar System Ambassador Brenda Culbertson suggests that the sighting in November was not an aurora but rather SAR arcs, which are separate from typical auroras and can occur during intense geomagnetic storms. SAR arcs are considered a rare night sky phenomenon and are not commonly known or seen.
A Kansas man captured photos of a strange reddish-pink light in the sky, which experts believe could be part of a rare atmospheric event. The light could be attributed to either an aurora display, Stable Auroral Red (SAR) arcs, or Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement (STEVE). While an aurora is unlikely, SAR arcs, which are separate from typical auroras, are a possible explanation.
