The moon will be brighter than the sun in one case

CAIRO – By Mohamed Salah – NASA has released images and moving images of the gamma rays produced when cosmic rays hit the moon. It turns out that if our eyes detect high energy gamma radiation, the moon will look brighter than the sun.

NASA's Fermi telescope has been studying the moon for a decade and is studying particle splinters caused by cosmic rays, which move rapidly from our solar system and regularly affect the moon's surface. The moon is a magnetic shield.

This discovery comes from a study conducted by researchers at the Italian National Institute of Nuclear Physics in Bari, who analyzed data from the Fermi telescope by combining gamma ray data with energies exceeding $ 31 million. EV, more than 10 million times greater than light energy. Visible.

Francesco Luparco, who studies the data, said: "Looking at these energies, the molecules in the cosmic rays are electrically charged, so they severely affect the magnetic fields that are missing from the moon, even leading to cosmic rays of low energy reaching the surface, towards a particle detector in the space.
