Dr Tim-Eric Rathjen (University of Cologne) explains cosmic rays – fast charged particles from space, not light. Where do they come from, what happens when they hit the atmosphere, and what do they tell us about exploding stars, the origin of elements and Einstein's relativity? In cooperation with VHS Essen.
