Scientists are releasing new measurements of cosmic rays hitting Earth, with recent findings showing how solar storms dramatically reduce the flux of these high-energy particles reaching our planet. Researchers use instruments like the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer and Antarctic ice detectors to study cosmic rays and their origins, while also assessing their threat to deep space exploration.
