i. f. f. ignacio munoz, 24 from chilly centers. the question about banging moon. how does cosmic radiation effect all living beings? the sun is the source of our lives. it provides the earth with heat and light. without it neither plants, animals, nor humans would have been able to develop on us. but the sun has another side. it also well, electrically charged particles into space which hit the earth at high speed. super over explosions also contribute to cosmic radiation. they throw out charged heavy atoms of nickel and iron for example, which can also travel extremely fast. the radiation with the most energy probably originates and distant galaxies, massive black holes nest at their centers, and when they devour matter, they admit highly energetic radiation. a cosmic particle can have as much kinetic energy as a tennis ball falling to the ground from a height of 10 meters. no living being can withstand a bombardment of such high energy particles which are also electrically charged. cosmic rays can penetrate organisms unhindered and alter the dna of cells so that
