Our planet has recently been struck by an extraordinary burst of cosmic rays, demonstrating an intensity level that is unparalleled in recorded history. As we delve into the specifics of this event, ...

How much light has been emitted by all galaxies since the cosmos began? After all, almost every photon (particle of light) from ultraviolet to far infrared wavelengths ever radiated by all galaxies ...

There is a clear statistical correlation between global seismic activity and changes in the intensity of cosmic radiation recorded at the surface of our planet, potentially helping to predict ...

Using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology researchers measure cosmic rays in far-off Barnard 68 nebula; study opens 'new field of astrophysics research' The post ...

Cosmic rays, predominantly high-energy particles originating from outside the Solar System, interact with Earth’s atmosphere to produce a complex radiation environment. This continuous bombardment ...

Milestone results released by the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) on November 16 have solved a decades-old mystery about the cosmic ray energy spectrum—which shows a sharp decrease ...

Scientists have made a link between cosmic radiation and earthquakes for the first time. The CREDO project, initiated in 2016 by the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IFJ ...

Cosmic rays inside a dense molecular cloud were measured for the first time, helping scientists better understand how stars begin forming.

Peter Rejcek, Antarctic Sun Editor: The U.S. Antarctic Program’s longest running experiment, which helps keeps an eye on the activity of the solar system’s hottest object, will soon be working in the ...

Cosmic rays are particles from outer space that travel across the universe. They can be made by the sun, by other stars exploding, and even black holes. They move extremely fast, nearly the speed of ...

Earth’s magnetic field cocoons our planet from the onslaught of cosmic radiation streaming through space while also shielding us from charged particles hurled outward by the sun. But the geomagnetic ...
