In contrast, the solar X-ray and UV luminosity emitted by the outer atmosphere was likely much higher in the past, by analog ...

X-Rays are given off by extremely hot gases, so they can be used to study events that are even hotter and more energetic than burning stars. These include supernova explosions caused by the deaths of old stars. A ...

Background radiation
Background radiation is the ubiquitous ionizing radiation that people on the planet Earth are exposed to, including natural and artificial sources.Both natural and artificial background radiation varies depending on location and altitude.
