Answer to Question 1

If the field lines of a coronal mass ejection are properly oriented, they can potentially disrupt Earth's magnetosphere, causing widespread communications and power disruptions.

Answer to Question 2

As the two stars orbit each other rapidly, one will approach us, creating a blueshift of its spectral lines, while its retreating companion shows a redshift. The time to go through two splits and recombinations of their lines is their orbital period.

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt. For the upper point of his scale, he used 96°, which he measured as normal human body temperature (we know it to be 98.6° today because of more accurate thermometers).

Intradermal injections are somewhat difficult to correctly administer because the skin layers are so thin that it is easy to accidentally punch through to the deeper subcutaneous layer.

Though methadone is often used to treat dependency on other opioids, the drug itself can be abused. Crushing or snorting methadone can achieve the opiate "rush" desired by addicts. Improper use such as these can lead to a dangerous dependency on methadone. This drug now accounts for nearly one-third of opioid-related deaths.

Oxytocin is recommended only for pregnancies that have a medical reason for inducing labor (such as eclampsia) and is not recommended for elective procedures or for making the birthing process more convenient.
