Cosmic radiation fills empty space from "summary" of The Secret World of Stargazing by Adrian West
In the vast expanse of space, there is more than meets the eye. While it may seem empty to the naked eye, it is actually teeming with energy in the form of cosmic radiation. This radiation, which comes from various sources such as stars, galaxies, and black holes, fills the seemingly empty void between celestial bodies. Cosmic radiation is made up of different types of particles, such as protons, electrons, and even photons. These particles travel through space at incredibly high speeds, carrying energy with them. As they move through the emptiness of space, they interact with each other and with the material they encounter along the way. One of the most important things about cosmic radiation is that it is not evenly distributed throughout space. Instead, it forms a sort of background radiation that permeates all of space. This background radiation is a key piece of evidence for the Big Bang theory, as it is thought to be a remnant of the energy released during the explosive birth of the universe. Despite its ubiquity, cosmic radiation is not always easy to detect. Because it is so pervasive, it can be difficult to distinguish the radiation from background noise. However, scientists have developed sophisticated instruments and techniques to study cosmic radiation and learn more about its origins and effects. By studying cosmic radiation, scientists can gain valuable insights into the nature of the universe and the processes that govern its behavior. From the formation of stars and galaxies to the evolution of black holes, cosmic radiation plays a crucial role in shaping the cosmos as we know it. As our understanding of cosmic radiation grows, so too does our understanding of the secret world of stargazing.
