A new study finds far more hurricane-related deaths in the U.S., especially among the poor and vulnerable.

The AP reports: "After a storm, deaths spike because of heart and lung problems, infections, injury and mental health issues."

This article from Phys.org might change the way we react the next time we face a “long” two- or three-day rainstorm. Saturn has megastorms that aren’t unlike Earth’s hurricanes. Only these weather events are much bigger and can go on for decades and decades. What causes such massive climatological anomalies is a mystery. https://flip.it/HZaNkr

Whenever a new idea comes around, scientists are quick to pounce on any problems it may have. But that doesn't mean they're succumbing to groupthink. So why then are scientists resistant to new theories? Because the hurdles of proof are quite high. Big Think elaborates: https://flip.it/9yRLcJ

DNA from Beethoven’s hair reveals a surprise from almost 200 years ago. A study published in March declares that the famous classical composer’s death was probably the result of a Hepatitis B infection, but more questions on his life and death remain.

The most energetic light ever seen emanating from the Sun has just been detected. But, contrary to what you might expect, it did not correlate to heightened solar activity, or any solar activity. Rather, the Sun was actually calm at the time. Science Alert has more on the new puzzle the discovery has created for solar physicists. https://flip.it/Z9s6jZ

It may seem obvious to say that stargazing is, at its heart, a visual hobby. But sight is only one of the senses we can use to explore space. Atlas Obscura tells us how stargazing is multi-sensory.

From the Smithsonian Mag article: "The report does not cast doubt upon the authenticity of the Dead Sea Scrolls held by the Israel Museum in Jerusalem."

Cement usage dates back to 6,500 BCE. Carbon black was the ink used in writing the Dead Sea Scrolls. What would happen if you put the two together? Engineers recently mixed these two ancient materials in electrolyte-infused water and may have solved a modern energy dilemma. More from Popular Science: https://flip.it/YnvXXF

In a nod to Oppenheimer’s legacy, U.S. officials vow to prioritize cleanup at nuclear lab.

The AP reports: "The price tag for cleaning up waste from the once top-secret Manhattan Project and subsequent Cold War-era nuclear research at Los Alamos National Laboratory has more than doubled in the last seven years."
