Scientists have found a rather unexpected way to get a glimpse of the history of cosmic rays that have bombarded our planet over the ages: by examining volcanic rocks. In a study that was made public ...

There is a clear statistical correlation between global seismic activity and changes in the intensity of cosmic radiation recorded at the surface of our planet, potentially helping to predict ...

Peter Rejcek, Antarctic Sun Editor: The U.S. Antarctic Program’s longest running experiment, which helps keeps an eye on the activity of the solar system’s hottest object, will soon be working in the ...

AFTER several recent measurements on the latitude effects of cosmic-ray intensities 1–3 it has been suggested that the cosmic-ray equator coincides well with the geomagnetic dip equator rather than ...

How much light has been emitted by all galaxies since the cosmos began? After all, almost every photon (particle of light) from ultraviolet to far infrared wavelengths ever radiated by all galaxies ...

A research paper published on March 25, 2026, in the journal Science Advances identifies a previously unrecognized zone of ...

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 ...
