Why Were Red M&M's Discontinued for a Decade? Around Valentine's Day and Christmas, red M&M's dominate the candy aisles but it hasn't always been that way.
These classic chocolate candies were absent from store shelves across the United States for more than a decade because of their color. In 1976, Mars, the candy company that makes M&M's, eliminated the red version of the candies from their mix. This decision came as a result of public controversy surrounding a synthetic dye called FD&C Red No. 2, also known as amaranth. The dye was used in red food coloring and was linked to cancer in a 1971 Russian study. 8 Ways Magic Mushrooms Explain Santa Story. The story of Santa and his flying reindeer can be traced to an unlikely source: hallucinogenic or "magic" mushrooms, according to one theory.

New Ice Age to Begin in 2014. Marshall Solar Physics. The "sunspot number" is then given by the sum of the number of individual sunspots and ten times the number of groups.
Since most sunspot groups have, on average, about ten spots, this formula for counting sunspots gives reliable numbers even when the observing conditions are less than ideal and small spots are hard to see. Monthly averages (updated monthly) of the sunspot numbers (181 kb JPEG image), (307 kb pdf-file), (62 kb text file) show that the number of sunspots visible on the sun waxes and wanes with an approximate 11-year cycle. (Note: there are actually at least two "official" sunspot numbers reported. Solar Cycle Prediction. Article Abstract A review of solar cycle prediction methods and their performance is given, including forecasts for cycle 24.
The review focuses on those aspects of the solar cycle prediction problem that have a bearing on dynamo theory. The scope of the review is further restricted to the issue of predicting the amplitude (and optionally the epoch) of an upcoming solar maximum no later than right after the start of the given cycle. Prediction methods form three main groups. NASA warns 'something unexpected is happening to the Sun' in year that is supposed to be the peak the sunspot cycle. 2013 was due to be year of the 'solar maximum'As this picture shows, in fact the sun is incredibly calm - baffling experts By Mark Prigg Published: 16:54 GMT, 8 March 2013 | Updated: 17:34 GMT, 8 March 2013 'Something unexpected' is happening on the Sun, Nasa has warned.
This year was supposed to be the year of 'solar maximum,' the peak of the 11-year sunspot cycle. But as this image reveals, solar activity is relatively low. Scroll down for video Sunspot numbers are well below their values from 2011, and strong solar flares have been infrequent, as this image shows - despite Nasa forecasting major solar storms. Moon Phases Calendar / Moon Schedule. Moon Phases. Why does the Moon have phases?
At the new Moon phase, the Moon is so close to the Sun in the sky that none of the side facing Earth is illuminated (position 1 in illustration). In other words, the Moon is between Earth and Sun. At first quarter, the half-lit Moon is highest in the sky at sunset, then sets about six hours later (3). At full Moon, the Moon is behind Earth in space with respect to the Sun.

Follow @universetoday on Twitter Astronauts have said adapting to weightlessness is much easier than readapting to gravity when they returned to Earth. Muscle weakness, wobbly legs, and feeling like the room is spinning is common after long duration spaceflight, not to mention the long-term issues like bone loss, diminished eyesight, and a heart that has to recondition itself to pump blood harder to overcome gravity.
As Canadian Chris Hadfield said, “My body was quite happy in space without gravity.” It turns out spiders have similar issues.
