Subatomic Particles from Deep Space

Type: Presentation

Description:
Something in the universe is sending particles to the Earth at extraordinary energies, reaching over 10 million times higher than any man-made particle accelerator, and a single one can make a radiation shower covering half the state of Michigan. What is the origin of these cosmic rays? Find out how they are detected and searched for by placing giant detectors in extreme places like space, the deep ocean, and Antarctica, and see a tabletop detector in action.
