Cosmic Ray Shower

Description
Cosmic Ray Shower
Cosmic rays from space slam into particles in the atmosphere, breaking them up
and sending them Earthward. These debris are called secondary cosmic rays.
This process of impact and breaking up continues as secondary cosmic rays
travel downward, creating a cosmic ray shower, as depicted in this artist’s
conception of four such events
