Cosmic rays are particles of very high energy that reach the earth from interstellar space or other parts of the cosmos or that are produced in the earth s atmosphere by the rays from outer space. The discovery that ionizing radiation on the earth s surface comes from outer space was made by the Austrian physicist Victor Hess, who made measurements of the amount of ionization in the earth s atmosphere during balloon ascents to a height of 15,000 feet in 1911 and 1912. Many of the fundamental particles in addition to the positron were discovered in the course of studies of cosmic rays.
