That wasn’t why Carlos was here. A few months earlier, the dark-haired school teacher from the hilly seaside town of Cobh in Ireland was standing on the same corridor holding a baby boy. Today's return visit had nothing to do with that happy event—the excitement she felt then had now been replaced by anxiety. She sits down next to the tall, broad figure of her husband Declan as they wait for their appointment. The genetic service comes down from Dublin to the southern city of Cork once a month and rents a room in the hospital. Trish had been waiting for eight months to start a process that begins with today’s blood test.
The Carlos family walks into the rented room. It's like any other in the hospital, with a simple desk and examination bed. The geneticist explains that Trish is being tested for a mutation in a gene called BRCA1, an entity linked to breast cancer. The geneticist goes through some of the symptoms and says that a mutation can not only give you a higher risk of breast cancer but ovarian cancer as well.

Often imaged but rarely mentioned, Messier 43 is a large star forming region in its own right. It's just part of the star forming complex of gas and dust that includes the larger, more famous neighboring Messier 42, the Great Orion Nebula. In fact, the Great Orion Nebula itself lies off the lower edge of this scene. The close-up of Messier 43 was made while testing the capabilities of a near-infrared instrument with one of the twin 6.5 meter Magellan telescopes at Las Campanas Observatory in the Chilean Andes. The composite image shifts the otherwise invisible infrared wavelengths to blue, green, and red colors. Peering into caverns of interstellar dust hidden from visible light, the near-infrared view can also be used to study cool, brown dwarf stars in the complex region. Along with its celebrity neighbor, Messier 43 lies about 1,500 light-years away, at the edge of Orion's giant molecular cloud. At that distance, this field of view spans about 5 light-years.Traumatic injuries, whether from serious car accidents, street violence or military combat, can lead to significant blood loss
