The CLOUD (Cosmics Leaving OUtdoor Droplets) project at CERN is using the proton synchrotron at the LHC to investigate the controversial link between cosmic rays and cloud formation.

Galactic cosmic rays could influence Earth's cloudiness by creating aerosol particles that prompt cloud formation. That possible effect looks to be smaller than thought, but the story won't end there.

Supernovas in space could be making clouds over Earth. Published Dec 20, 2017 at 8:33 AM EST Dec 20, 2017 at 8:33 AM EST ...

However, there are problems with the cosmic-ray hypothesis. One is that although there was a clear correlation between global temperatures and the intensity of cosmic rays reaching the Earth’s surface ...

Cosmic rays may play a role in triggering lightning, a new study suggests, offering an out-of-this-world answer to a ...

Study reveals that high-energy cosmic rays are born in magnetic fields during neutron star mergers, a prelude to black holes.

So many cosmic rays hit the atmosphere that it’s possible the particles play a role in our climate, including cloud formation and behavior. CERN’s CLOUD experiment creates “artificial cosmic rays” to ...

Scientists have revealed a hidden trigger of lightning that could resolve a centuries-old weather mystery.. Earth is struck by some 44 bolts of lightning each second, on average. Despite this ...

Earth is under constant bombardment by cosmic rays, showers of high-energy particles that blast our planet from all directions at near light speed. While this might sound like the precursor to a ...

Cosmic rays may offer an out-of-this-world answer to a long-standing mystery about lightning on Earth, a new study suggests. Thunderstorms are exceedingly common; a staggering 3 million lightning ...
