cosmic particles

Cosmic particles are tiny pieces of matter that originate from outer space, traveling through the universe at high speeds. These include protons, electrons, and atomic nuclei that come from sources like the sun, supernovae, or distant galaxies. When they reach Earth's atmosphere, they can create showers of secondary particles or produce faint light called cosmic rays. Scientists study these particles to learn about the universe's processes, cosmic events, and the origins of matter. Despite their small size, cosmic particles carry valuable information about the cosmos and its energetic phenomena.
