Cosmic Ray Blues – Electromagnetic Shower

Cosmic Rays have fallen down the rabbit hole of post-normal science where they are semantically tortured by rival groups of astronomers and astrophysicists.

Radiation of all kinds reaches the top of the Earth’s atmosphere from outer space.

Traditionally, the science of observing electromagnetic radiation of any energy, from radio waves through visible light to gamma rays, is called astronomy.

When we observe particles or atomic nuclei, it is called cosmic ray physics, or in recent years, “particle astrophysics”.
