Cosmic Rain is a poetic term for the continuous shower of high energy particles from space that reaches Earth and its atmosphere. These particles, known as cosmic rays, travel through the universe at extraordinary speeds and consist primarily of protons and atomic nuclei. Some originate from powerful events within our galaxy, including supernova explosions and other extreme stellar environments, while the sources of the highest energy cosmic rays are still being investigated. When cosmic rays strike atoms in Earth’s atmosphere, they produce cascades of secondary particles that travel toward the surface.
