The work «builds on a notable amount of literature showing that space radiation produces negative consequences on brain and behavior,» says Amelia Eisch, a neuroscientist at the University of Texas Southwestern Medicine Dallas.

Outer space may look mostly empty, but it's actually packed with cosmic radiation — gamma rays and charged particles produced by exploding stars, black holes and other violent astrophysical phenomena.

To conduct the new study, rats were first trained for the tests and then taken to Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island in Upton, N.Y., where a collider produces the high - energy proton and heavy ion radiation particles that normally occur in space.

Asteroids also contain an abundance of water, which, aside from serving as hydration during space travel, could be used as a shield to protect spaceships from the sun's radiation or to produce hydrogen - and oxygen - based rocket fuels.

At the same time the surface and the atmosphere emit infrared radiation back to space, which produces cooling.

Instead of dissipating into space, the infrared radiation that is absorbed by atmospheric water vapor or carbon dioxide produces heating, which in turn makes the earths surface warmer.

But Alex Dessler, a space physicist at the University of Arizona, Tucson, says the same area of the planet also produces unusual radio signals, flares of ultraviolet light, and high levels of infrared radiation and even seems to be correlated with a patch in Jupiter's magnetosphere that pumps out high - energy electrons.

It was the first cosmic event in history to be witnessed via both traditional telescopes, which can observe electromagnetic radiation like gamma rays, and gravitational wave detectors, which sense the wrinkles in space - time produced by distant cataclysms.

was 30 degrees Kelvin); whereas Eddington in 1926 had already calculated that the «temperature of space» produced by the radiation of starlight would be found to be 3 degrees Kelvin.»

«The big bang made no quantitative prediction that the «background» radiation would have a temperature of 3 degrees Kelvin (in fact its initial prediction [by George Gamow in 1946] was 30 degrees Kelvin); whereas Eddington in 1926 had already calculated that the «temperature of space» produced by the radiation of starlight would be found to be 3 degrees Kelvin.»

The fifth gravitational wave event (GW170817), detected in mid-August 2017, was probably even more important than the first detection because it was the first one whose source also produced electromagnetic radiation we could observe with ground and space - based telescopes.

Such emission of infrared radiation to space produces substantial cooling... think of a refrigerator coil at the surface.

Large solar storms, such as from flares and CMEs, can produce lethal radiation environments on the Moon or in interplanetary space.

Physics says the energy into a system must equal the energy out once in balance, The heat in the oceans is what must be there to produce enough heat radiation out to space through the air / GHG blanket.

And cumulus clouds not only reflect solar radiation back into space but also produce rain.

Added methane reduces heat radiation to space, amplifying the warming effect of carbon dioxide produced by burning fossil fuels.

I believe that if in the vacuum of space you place a blackbody object with (a) a constant (i.e., unchanging energy per unit time) internal thermal energy source, and (b) internal / surface thermal conduction properties such that independent of how energy enters the blackbody, the surface temperature of the blackbody is everywhere the same and you place that object in cold space (no background thermal radiation of any kind), eventually the object will come to a steady state condition — i.e., the object will eventually radiate energy to space at a rate equal to the rate of energy produced by the internal energy source.
