Comparison of Radiation in Chernobyl and in Space

Cosmic radiation ≠ “Chernobyl radiation.” In this video, we break down how radiation in outer space differs from what we encounter on Earth. We explain what ionizing radiation is, why gamma rays are the same in nature but differ in energy, where streams of charged particles (the solar wind) come from, and why protons pose the greatest risk to astronauts. We’ll also touch on galactic cosmic rays (Fermi acceleration) and rarer cases like neutrinos near supernovae. What’s inside: Myths vs. the schoolbook “three types” of radiation Ionizing radiation: what it is and why it’s broader than alpha/beta/gamma Gamma rays: sources, energies, and why the atmosphere offers only modest shielding Solar wind: protons, electrons, helium nuclei—and why they’re harmful Shielding: why cosmic rays can punch through even thick metal Earth’s magnetosphere & atmosphere: how they protect us Galactic cosmic rays and their “speed” puzzles (Fermi mechanisms) Exotic cases: when even neutrinos can be dangerous Support the channel: Like if this was helpful Subscribe to Space so you don’t miss new episodes Source: IAEA Imagebank / USFCRFC via Wikimedia Commons Description: Chernobyl Unit 4 after the accident (1986) License: CC BY-SA 2.0, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...
