My sci-fi paper will consist of the possible future scenario where a rogue black hole comes into our solar system swallowing our sun and brings darkness to all of human kind. It will follow a group of survivors that were able to get off the planet in an attempt to get to the nearest star. Leaving behind a slowly dying planet. They are met with a number of challenges. The most pressing being the increasing emission in solar weather produced by the black hole’s accretion disk, they constantly need to fix the solar electric sail that not only produces the main source of propulsion it is also responsible for energy production for the craft and the main shilling device for the astronauts, …show more content…
The harmful radiation in space is divided into two types, massive and massless radiation. Both can have high energy associated with them, Gamma rays are the most energetic form of massless radiation. When it comes to massive radiant the sun mostly emits protons with a scattering of alpha rays and betta rays. With proton emission having speed of nearly a 1/3 of the speed of light.These can cause substantial damage to humans specifically the weak hydrogen bounds in DNA [2]. The largest source for this kind of radiation would be a Coronal mass ejection that can travel at nearly a tenth the speed of light (3,000 km/s) Along with the high energy protons, these coronal mass ejections eject free elections and neutrons in a magnet field.

These events are also coupled with massive particle radiation created by the same fluxes in the sun’s magnetic field. These massive forms of radiation accelerates at a rate of a third of C the time span of three second according to Michael Briggs, a member of GBM team at the University of Alabama in Huntsville.
