Скачать или смотреть Prof. Angela Olinto describes NASA balloon project to study cosmic rays

Ultra-high-energy cosmic rays from the farthest reaches of space are extremely rare, entering the Earth’s atmosphere at a rate of just one per one square-kilometer of area per century. To unravel the mysteries associated with these cosmic rays, enter NASA’s super-pressure balloon and the pioneering Extreme Universe Space Observatory instrument. Learn more from UChicago Prof. Angela Olinto about how EUSO, flying 110,000 feet above the ground on a balloon, will look downward to detect these high-energy cosmic rays by observing fleeting moments of UV fluorescence over a broad swath of the Earth’s atmosphere.
