D.O.'s+Cosmic+Ray+Summary

Cosmic Ray Overview__** - Cosmic Rays are not in fact rays, they are tiny particles that are constantly hitting Earth from all different sources in space such as our Sun to other stars outside our galaxy. In studying them, we use detectors that use scintillating material in them to capture and create data when a cosmic ray passes through one oof our detectors. These particles vary in energy from the lowest energy coming from our sun to a rarely seen energy where there whereabouts are unknown. We study them to find out where they came from and possibly give us information on what is happening out in space.
