Guys.. if the moon glows brighter than the sun in terms of gamma radiation.. How did anyone walk up there and live?
>>545866283Protection with magical tinfoil and ceramic. It's magic!
Does it matter either way? You trust NASA? That's idiotic
They wear special suits
>>545866283they probably have higher risk of cancer, but the dose is still low enough to survive in the immediate sense.gamma radiation passes through matter much easier than alpha or beta radiation, which means there is less chance of the energy being transferred.
>>545867421The Chinese rover confirmed that 10,000 to 40,000 GCR (galactic cosmic rays) rain down on the moon per square meter per second.
>>545866283The Moon has a solid surface exposed to vacuum. Incoming cosmic rays strike the surface, and gamma rays produced are free to travel to Earth for detection. The Sun has a thick atmosphere that tapers to vacuum, so a cosmic ray that hits something is probably going to be some ways inside the atmosphere. All atoms strongly absorb gamma rays, so the gamma rays are somewhat absorbed on their way out of the atmosphere.
>>545868300Earth’s magnetic field protects us from this radiation. The moon is completely exposed.
Surely you have done your research and can post solid math about it. May we see your calculations?
>>545868779Gamma rays are unaffected by magnetic fields. They're electrically neutral. They don't reach Earth's surface because the atmosphere absorbs gamma rays.
>>545866283Probably fermi (i assume it's a telescope?) is closer to the moon than we are.
>>545868300This is the answer.I think people assume the sun produces gamma radiation of its own but the nuclear fusion happens so far down nothing would come out.It even takes regular light thousands of years to go from the core of the sun to the surface.>>545868779Yeah it won't be healthy.But it's not strong enough to kill you instantly.You get maybe a 10% higher chance of cancer over the rest of your life.
>>545868779The Moon spends some time inside our magnetic field
>>545869147That shouldn't matter if you measure surface brightness.A G-type star in a distant galaxy appears just as bright as the sun, it's just much smaller.

>>545869359So now you are posting a random article you did not read and completely lack the intelligence and scientific knowledge to understand. Nothing in your link has anything to do with the nonsensical schizo drivel you posted.
>>545869015>Earth's surface because the atmosphere absorbs gamma rays.Then where is all the energy going since it absorbs them? It doesn't just disappear into thin air.
>>545869753It literally gives you the number of GCR per second
>>545869990And?
>>545869851Ionizes particles and releases as Cherenkov radiation
>>545866283Ionized atoms cannot melt plasma beams.
>>545867948Meatbags are actually surprisingly resistant to radiation.
>>545871952source?
>>545871952
>>545869851>It doesn't just disappear into thin air.It actually does. It is absorbed by the thin upper atmosphere, in a layer known as the ionosphere (since it's ionized by absorbing such space radiation). Over time, ions recombine to neutral molecules, which releases light, causing the phenomenon of airglow. All this activity heats that layer, causing it to be the hottest part of Earth's atmosphere.
>>545866283Because it is "a bit" closer and thus the gamma radiation is not actually stronger than the sun's surface.
>>545872493Anon's own surprise at it.
