Have you ever seen a sprite? Some say it’s impossible.
Solar Minimum is underway, and it’s a deep one.
Ten years ago, NASA reported a “perfect storm of cosmic rays.” During the year 2009, radiation peppering Earth from deep space reached a 50-year high, registering levels never before seen during the Space Age.
March 5, 2018: Cosmic rays are bad–and they’re getting worse.
Cosmic rays are bad–and they’re getting worse. That’s the conclusion of a new paper just published in the research journal Space Weather.
Nobody knows exactly what triggers lightning bolts. Now, two Russian researchers say that these discharges of a billion volts or more could be caused by the interaction of cosmic rays—high-energy particles from outer space—with water droplets in thunderclouds.
Models suggest cosmic rays can trigger reactions in interstellar ice balls causing formation of more complex molecules
Recent research shows that galactic cosmic rays flowing into our solar system originate in clusters like these.
