Here are some recent news articles from NASA and BBC News related to cosmic rays:

NASA News

  1. "NASA's Parker Solar Probe Finds Cosmic Rays are More Variable than Thought" (February 2022)

NASA's Parker Solar Probe has discovered that cosmic rays, high-energy particles that bombard the Earth from space, are more variable than previously thought. The probe found that the intensity of cosmic rays varies significantly over the course of a year, which could have implications for our understanding of the solar wind and its impact on the Earth's magnetic field.

  1. "NASA's Fermi Telescope Reveals Cosmic Rays are Linked to Supernovae" (January 2022)

NASA's Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope has found evidence that cosmic rays are linked to supernovae, massive explosions that occur when stars run out of fuel. The telescope detected gamma-ray bursts from supernovae that are thought to accelerate cosmic rays, which could help scientists better understand the origins of these high-energy particles.

BBC News

  1. "Cosmic rays: Scientists detect 'giant' burst of particles from distant galaxy" (March 2022)

BBC News reported on a study published in the journal Science, which detected a massive burst of cosmic rays from a distant galaxy. The burst was detected by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) on the International Space Station and is thought to have originated from a supernova explosion.

  1. "Cosmic rays: How do they affect our daily lives?" (February 2022)

This article from BBC News explores the impact of cosmic rays on our daily lives. While cosmic rays are a natural part of the universe, they can pose a risk to astronauts and satellite technology. The article also discusses the potential health effects of cosmic rays on humans, although these are still being studied and debated.
