The Cosmos 2553 satellite has been in a relatively isolated orbit some 2,000km above earth, parked in a hot spot of cosmic radiation that communications or earth-observing satellites typically avoid.

P. Lovecraft's work in the cosmic horror atmosphere that takes over the movie. This article was updated to discuss The Lighthouse's Lovecraftian references and reflect CBR's current publication ...

If the magnetic field lines are weakened, though, all that cosmic radiation enters the atmosphere earlier and deeper, which can be disastrous for the ozone layer below. As this protective layer ...

including muons — produced when high-energy cosmic rays collide with atoms in the upper atmosphere — and terrestrial gamma rays produced by rock, soil and even concrete. Terrestrial radiation is ...

The data collected will help researchers understand how Uranus' atmosphere functions and how it has evolved over the past 30 years since the last significant occultation in 1996. Listen to Story ...

Classic sneaky Hollywood move, right? The plot? Pretty straightforward. Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben go to space, get hit by cosmic rays, and boom, their powers are unlocked! Reed becomes Mr. Fantastic, ...

or cosmic radiation, affects astronauts. All living things on the planet are protected from the intense radiation of space by a thick layer of shielding provided by the Earth's atmosphere, which is ...

A new theory may finally unveil their origin. Ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) surpass in power anything humans can produce in laboratories. Their discovery dates back over 60 years, but their ...

The Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall is a so-called "supercluster" of galaxies; it's a filament of the cosmic web around ... are blasts of high-energy gamma rays that last over two seconds ...

The Earth's magnetic field, created by electrical currents from its molten iron core, extends into space and acts as a protective shield against harmful radiation, including cosmic rays and ...

Abstract: Shortwave net radiation (SWNR) serves as the vital variable of radiative energy balance and plays a key parameter in global climate, hydrological, and land surface process models. Solar ...
