30、cescientists,including researchers from UCLA,answers those two questions with a“no”and a“yes”.That is,humans should be able to safely travel to and from Mars,provided that thespacecraft has sufficient shielding and the round trip is shorter than approximately four years.And the timing of a human mis
31、sion to Mars would indeed make a difference:The scientistsdetermined that the best time for a flight to leave Earth would be when solar activity is at itspeak,because,during this period,the most dangerous and energetic particles from distantgalaxies are deflected（偏转）by the enhanced solar activity.A

33、st and coauthor of the paper.“This study shows that while space radiation impose strict limitations on how heavy thespacecraft can be and the time of launch,and it presents technological difficulties for humanmissions to Mars,such a mission is possible,”said Shprits,who also is head of space physics

39、rctica,it was blocked from leaving by a high pressure system called a“pressure dome”.Scientists say its too early to say if this event was caused by climate change.But they saytheyre watching carefully to see if this is a one-time event or part of a new pattern.On the other hand,winter is just now e

41、ion to theweather here.In fact,the Arctic is warming two to three times faster than the rest of the planet,and warming events seem increasingly common in recent years.There are concerns that thispattern will continue and that the melting of ice here will increase.Scientists explained,this time,the v
42、ery specific cause for the Arctic heat wave:a“bombcyclone”,a storm that gathers great strength very quickly.This one formed over the east coast ofNorth America,and headed north.The pressure inside this storm system fell sharply,pulling anatmospheric river of wet warm air toward the North Pole.32.Wha
