This article explores the potential dangers of extreme solar particle events, particularly when combined with periods of weak Earth’s magnetic field. It discusses how these events can damage the ozone layer, increase UV radiation levels, and potentially impact the evolution of life on Earth.
Skin cancer diagnoses in the UK have reached a record high, with 20,800 people expected to be diagnosed with melanoma this year. The rates have increased by almost a third over the past decade. While anyone can get skin cancer, those with fair complexions are at a higher risk, but people with darker skin tones can also be affected.
