Spanish flu mystery lingers as researchers probe NS gene
Washington Post report notes 1918 influenza A may lack a simple answer to its virulence. Scientists reconstruct the virus from lung samples, including an Inuit victim buried in permafrost, and test NS gene segments in mice to assess their role in immune evasion and spread. Researchers also study polymerase genes as a possible spread factor. The spring and fall waves suggest mutations or wave-specific factors. Camp Funston in Kansas marks early cases.

Earthshine study links Earth's reflectance to climate signals
Scientists using earthshine observed on the moon report Earth's reflectance at 29.77 percent with seasonal variations up to 20 percent. The work, spanning about 270 nights of data, suggests small declines in reflectance over five years and possible links to solar activity influencing climate. Credits mention Philip R Goode of NJIT and Steven E Koonin of Caltech.
