Cosmic Rays

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

You are constantly bombarded by high-energy particles from space. These are cosmic rays, discovered unexpectedly in 1912. When they strike Earth's upper atmosphere, they create showers of secondary particles. Most cosmic rays are atomic nuclei, primarily hydrogen and helium, originating from distant cosmic events.
