Cosmic rays were first determined to be coming from outer space when … a sharp increase in cosmic rays was observed when E.T. was released in 1982 Michelson & Morley performed their famous experiment in 1887 determining that there was no ether surrounding the earth. Viktor Hess, in 1912, carried ionization chambers to high altitudes and detected an increase in radiation as he ascended. August 7 th, 1912

The project based in Utah & Argentina that, when completed will be the largest cosmic ray detection array ever built, is known as … the Blair Witch project the Manhattan project Pierre Auger project

The highest ever detected energy of a cosmic ray is … ~ 3 [eV] ~ [eV] ~ [eV]

How long are CRs trapped in the Galaxy ? ~ [sec] ~ 20 million [years] ~ Hubble Time

Cosmic rays are caused by … the sun supernova remnants flying monkeys
