Medicine & TechnologyResearchers hope the anticipated solar maximum could help them explain why the sun shines bright in gamma rays. Continue reading to learn more.
Experimental data reveal the presence of cosmic radiation on the surface of Mars. Read to learn about how this discovery may affect Mars’ habitability.
Researchers developed a new method to make Earth activities synchronized with certain devices. Find out how the use of cosmic rays contributed to this approach.
A new study suggests that future missions, including the trip to Mars, should not exceed four years and must be conducted during the solar maximum to protect human health and equipment from space radiation and harmful particles.
Scientists from Nagoya University measured the protons and electrons from cosmic rays in a supernova remnant in a bid to find where the highest-energy particles in the universe come from.
A team of experts successfully discovered the origin of the most intensified cosmic ray called gamma rays. Through recent studies, scientists found that gamma rays are a collection of high acceleration of cosmic ray protons.
Recently NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory has been captured a mysterious flash in the X-ray image. This flash is probably some kind of cosmic explosion occurred in the deepest space of the universe.
As more news about Mars enters our scientific community each day, the importance of making survival on Mars a priority is thrown into sharp relief. No longer remote, science-fiction the goal of transforming Mars for ourselves with technology is at the core of our next endeavor in space.
We understand the drive and the passion to explore the new and unknown frontiers of space, but when it comes to the loss of cognitive function or serious IQ points, we know where to draw the line. While humans as a species, and space agencies now, have been speaking about traveling to other planets for as long as anyone can remembers, now knowing what awaits us in space may change a few of your minds—literally.
When it comes to life on Earth, we’re one of the most fragile species there is. But thanks to the rather perfect confluence of circumstances and cosmic events, we’re mostly shielded from the dangers of space. Strong ultraviolet rays are kept out, our vital oxygen and water are kept in, and life continues blissfully. But what happens when we leave our own little planet in search of others? What protection do we have then?
