What are Cosmic Rays? What is Black-Body Radiation? What is a Geiger Counter? Discussion Comments By NathanG — On May 09, 2011 @Charred - Pilots get hit hard with that stuff. I read somewhere that they get the equivalent of one X-ray for every few hours in flight. Consider the fa...
The dose of cosmic radiation is maximal near the North pole or South pole, so airline crews experience more cosmic rays if they routinely work close to these areas (Source). Prior to the discovery of cosmic rays, physicists believed that they were actually gamma rays being produced as a resu...
The Pierre Auger Observatory is one of those places using such science. There, several tanks with dimensions of 11.8 feet in diameter and 3.9 feet tall hold 3,170 gallons each. In each of these tanks are sensors ready to record a particle shower from a hit, which will produce a light sh...
atmosphere nor earth's magnetic field can shield people from cosmic rays, such as on a long flight to mars, the radiation dose from cosmic rays is a larger cause for concern. current understanding of cosmic rays scientists use high-altitude balloons to collect valuable data on cosmic rays. (...
