Cosmic Radiation Research Paper

Yes, the sun has many positive effects on our lives but I am going to tell you some aspects you didn't know about the sun and how it can harm us in terrible ways. For example, cosmic and solar radiation are very bad for astronauts working in space to be exposed to, because they can get low blood count, radiation sickness’s, cataracts, melanoma, cancer… and potentially even death.
Luckily their are a few scientific and natural solutions to prevent astronauts from being exposed to radiation from space, but their are no solutions which can completely prevent astronauts from being exposed. One of the things which prevent astronauts from being exposed to solar radiation is to stay inside a space station because solar protons can usually not pass through the hull. According to the NASA science site if astronaut’s are exposed to cosmic radiation only a small drizzle of the radiation can come through the hull, but this can still cause microscopic tissue damage which can break your DNA …show more content…
This can be used to our advantage when we are sending astronauts in space because of the decrease in radiation, and then prevent to many astronauts from being sick from radiation. Also because we can send more astronauts since we know they are safe and gain more knowledge's about space during these solar flares. In a social perspective it would be smart to send astronauts during solar flares for their health. Another solution to prevent astronauts from being exposed to solar and cosmic radiation is the hull of a spacecraft especially since solar radiation cannot go through. But for cosmic radiation only small drizzles can come through the hull but some of the damage can be lethal. The benefits of the hull of space crafts is that it reduces the amount of radiation a astronaut can be exposed to which can save
