The Tailless Comet (C/2014 S3)


The Manx illustrated realistically
In 2014, a near-tailless comet was spotted while it flew by earth. It was called C/2014 S3 (PANSTARRS) or "MANX," since Manx cats are mostly tailless. Researchers are saying that it has just returned, and actually began it's voyage rather close to the sun, and may be able to tell us more about the building blocks of our planet, at least when it first walk out of fire. It was a majestic ball of what looked like a black rocky substance trying to contain super heated iron and gold by smothering it, trying to close in on it but in a grand struggle to do so. Of course, that's what we "think". We also "think" that we know about the layers of the earth and what they're made of. Us humans "think" a lot of things. But the more proof we have, the more sure we can be. Studies of the comet are being thought over.

Direct link between brain and immune system?

Apparently, the researchers at the University of Virginia found a direct link from the brain and the immune system in June of 2015. Thousands of medical students had been taught otherwise. It's said that many brain diseases, such as autism and Alzheimer's, will be looked at with a significant difference. The treatment and study of such diseases will be more advanced. It just goes to show that in the world of technology and understanding, including health science, the world is always changing. It never slows down. "The discovery was made possible by the work of Antoine Louveau, a postdoctoral fellow in Kipnis’ lab. The vessels were detected after Louveau developed a method to mount a mouse’s meninges – the membranes covering the brain – on a single slide so that they could be examined as a whole."
