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, ...

Earth seems to shake more after intense cosmic radiation hits its surface, a new study suggests. The surprising study by a team of Polish researchers analyzed 50 years worth of data and found that the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Earth is under constant bombardment by high-energy charged particles called cosmic rays. We're normally shielded from this barrage by Earth's magnetic bubble, the magnetosphere. But what happens when ...

In space you can see impending earthquakes. Not so literally, as in the above collage of photos, but still clearly – in the changes in the intensity of cosmic rays recorded by observatories on the ...

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 ...
