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.
