Space/Science » in reply to Re: Cosmic = Gamma Rays?

that explains a few things. . .

<Cosmic rays are electromagnetic as well, with an even shorter wavelength than gamma rays.

that is how I understand it. I should have pointed this out though: although I am not sure whether gama 'Radiation' is a term for all high wavelength electromagnetic waves. It would make sense to think that gamma rays are gamma radiation but I won't assume that for a few reasons that are probably pointless to go into.

Although sometimes any energetic particle from space is also lumped in with these.

now I did *not* now this. . . that has the potential to be rather confusing.
