Recent Research
- Cosmic Rays from the Galactic Center (December 2022)
A team of scientists has discovered that cosmic rays from the galactic center are more abundant than previously thought, which could help scientists better understand the origins of these high-energy particles.
- The Effects of Cosmic Rays on the Earth's Atmosphere (November 2022)
A study published in the Journal of Geophysical Research has found that cosmic rays can affect the Earth's atmosphere, leading to changes in cloud cover and precipitation patterns.
- Cosmic Rays and the Search for Dark Matter (October 2022)
Scientists are using cosmic rays to search for signs of dark matter, a type of matter that is thought to make up about 27% of the universe but has yet to be directly detected.
Upcoming Missions
- NASA's Dragonfly Mission to Titan (2027)
NASA's Dragonfly mission will send a rotorcraft-lander to Saturn's moon Titan to study the moon's atmosphere and surface, including the effects of cosmic rays on the moon's chemistry.
- NASA's Europa Clipper Mission (2024)
NASA's Europa Clipper mission will study Jupiter's moon Europa, which is thought to have a liquid water ocean beneath its icy surface. The mission will also study the effects of cosmic rays on the moon's subsurface ocean.
