[Chinese instrument network instrument research and development] The galaxy is a disk-shaped galaxy. There is a lot of gas and dust on the silver disk, thus forming a spectacular "black nebula" visible to the naked eye. In the direction along the platter (low silver latitude), due to the severe extinction of dust, galaxies beyond the Milky Way are barely visible at the optical wavelengths. Therefore, in general, research on extragalactic (out-of-galactic) celestial bodies is mainly concentrated in the sky area away from the silver plate (high silver latitude). In spite of this, due to the thickness of the Milky Way's plate and the sun's central position on the thickness of the silver plate, we still see a certain degree of galactic dust extinction from any direction.
The visible galactic dust (black nebula)
Therefore, for extragalactic objects, the elimination of dust in the Milky Way is an effect that must be corrected. In the past two decades, the most widely used extinction map of the Milky Way in the field of astronomical research was the result given by Schlegel et al. (1998) based on infrared satellite measurements of dust radiation in the Milky Way (hereinafter referred to as the SFD extinction map). Since the publication of the SFD extinction map, there has been a lot of work to independently measure the extinction of the Milky Way and to further test the SFD chart. Among these inspection methods, a clever method is to use cosmology principles to independently measure the extinction of the Milky Way.
The so-called cosmological principle means that there is no special position in the universe, that is, on a large scale, the universe is uniform and isotropic. Therefore, we look at celestial bodies outside the Milky Way in different directions, and their statistical properties should be exactly the same on a large scale. Specifically, at the same observation depth, we should see the same number of celestial bodies, and the statistical physical properties of these objects, such as the average color, should also be exactly the same. However, as mentioned earlier, the galactic extinction will observably break the isotropy predicted by this cosmological principle. In higher extinction areas, the same objects become darker in observation. In other words, when the same depth is observed, the number of celestial bodies that the higher extinction sky area can see will become less. Not only that, because the extinction of dust in the short waveband is stronger than in the long waveband, the color of the celestial body in the high extinction sky will therefore become redder.
SFD extinction map
Recently, Li Linlin, a doctoral student at the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, under the guidance of the instructor Shen Shiyin, based on cosmological principles, based on the characteristics of dust extinction in the short wavelength band, used for the first time the massive observation of u-band data in the shortest wavelength in the optical range for the extinction of the Milky Way. Conducted systematic statistical studies. The data used in this work comes from the Southern Silver U-band survey project led by Chinese astronomers. The innovation of this work is to combine the extinction of galactic dust obtained through galaxy counting with the reddening effect obtained through galaxy colors for the first time, and obtain high-precision statistical results with the support of massive data.
The results of the study indicate that there is a significant overestimation of the general SFD galactic dust extinction map in high extinction areas. Not only that, through the combination of extinction and reddening of dust from the Milky Way, the work has further used statistical methods to place restrictions on the physical properties of the Galaxy dust: the extinction curve of the Galaxy dust can be modeled by certain models, such as O'Donnell in 1994. The classical extinction curves given are precisely described, and some models, such as the modified extinction curves given by Fitzpatrick in 1999, deviate significantly from the observed data.

Mold HVAC VENTS BEFORE AND AFTER
Mold infestation usually comes with a musty odor. If there is mold in your HVAC system, you should be able to smell the strange musty odor in multiple adjacent rooms. If the mold problem is quite severe, you should be able to spot the growth around the ducts, in the vents and the other parts of the ductwork. The spores are too small for spotting without specialized equipment, and you will not see any other overt signs until the infestation is rampant. In most cases, people have to rely on their sense of smell to detect the presence of this stealthy intruder in their homes.

What causes mold infestation in the HVAC air ducts?

A warm location with high water vapor content is particularly prone to mold buildup within the ducts. Water vapor can form within the duct system when cold air passes through, and when there is high water vapor content in the outside environment, the water droplets usually collect instead of evaporating. It forms the most conducive environment for mold growth. The nutrition for the mold usually comes from dust, dirt, dead skin cells, pollen, and animal dander that collects over months inside the duct along with the water.

What are the signs of mold in air ducts?

Here are a few definitive signs of mold growth within home HVAC systems:

A strong mildew-like or musty smell throughout the house or at least in a few adjacent rooms.
Your nose, throat, and eyes feel irritated when you switch on the air conditioning or step inside an air-conditioned room.
You are experiencing allergic symptoms including a runny nose, rashes, and watering eyes.
You or your family is suffering from unexplainable headaches that go away when you step outside.
You feel nausea, fatigue, and dizziness only when you are home.
You can see the mold growing within the intake vents and around the air ducts and drip pans.
Therefore, if you live in a warm climate and your home smells musty all the time, you have the perfect reason to suspect a mold infestation within the central air conditioning system. You should never wait for the visible signs of infestation to manifest before taking action. You may not be able to see specific sections of your HVAC ductwork from the outside. In that case, you should ask for professional help.

How can homeowners tackle the problem of mold and how to get rid of mold in air ducts?

Sometimes, the mold problem is not overwhelming, and homeowners prefer to deal with the issue on their own. It calls for some robust DIY mold removal techniques. The EPA recommends the employment of professional mold removing services when the suspected mold cover spreads over ten sq ft. If the infestation in your heating ducts is not as severe, you can try removing the growth with ingredients that you can find at your local Home Depot.  Here is information on how to get rid of mold in air ducts.

Removing Mold from Your HVAC System:

Selection of the cleaning solution is the first and the most crucial step that decides the fate of the HVAC system inside your home and ultimately if you are successful in how to get rid of mold in air ducts. The cleaning agent you choose can either remove mold or let it fester secretly. Therefore, you need to be cautious when selecting a DIY solution for your mold problem.
