The Latest Breaking News from Radiation

ISRO's Chandrayaan 3 mission launched on July 21 to slingshot to the moon and decelerate before descending. Given the harsh conditions of space, the mission has been designed with advanced engineering techniques, including radiation-hardened electronics, to protect the spacecraft from the solar wind, outgassing, radiation, and other issues.

After observing gamma rays coming from the sun for six years, researchers at the HAWC observatory in Mexico have found an excess of very high-energy gamma rays emerging as a result of the interaction between cosmic rays and the sun’s magnetic field. Researchers currently don’t have an explanation for this…

A powerful solar flare disrupted radio and navigation signals across North America on Monday and prompted space weather forecasters to issue warnings because of energetic particles hitting Earth.

Using a 24/7 observatory that can detect when charged particles interact with water, scientists identified record-breaking rays coming from the sun.

Instruments in different parts of the solar system all captured radiation from the same coronal mass ejection for the first time ever.

How long could you survive if thrust into the harsh vacuum of space without protection? The short answer is, not very long.

Tel Aviv University researchers uncover the mechanism behind delayed skin pigmentation after sun exposure, paving the way for advanced skin protection.

How long could a person survive if thrust into the harsh vacuum of outer space? The short answer is, not very long.

In 2021, a coronal mass ejection that erupted from the sun was seen across a staggering range of 155 million miles. It spit energetic particles toward Mars, the Earth and the moon.
