Re: Cosmic Rays Entering Earth From Mars 2nite.pls Switch Off Ur Fone Tonight! by phemmy1505: 10:32pm On Aug 15, 2012 We don’t know where all the cosmic rays come from. The Sun emits low energy cosmic rays, typically accompanying solar flares. But even if every star in the known universe created cosmic rays in a similar manner, they would only explain a fraction of them. Cosmic rays are pieces of atoms, flying through space at incredible speeds. Sometimes they hit Earth, and some of them even hit you. About 30 cosmic rays fly through your body every second Re: Cosmic Rays Entering Earth From Mars 2nite.pls Switch Off Ur Fone Tonight! by boneruns(m): 10:32pm On Aug 15, 2012 I think people need to educate themselves more: journeytothestars.wordpress/2012/04/07/hoax-alert-cosmic-rays-from-mars-entering-earth/ Re: Cosmic Rays Entering Earth From Mars 2nite.pls Switch Off Ur Fone Tonight! by Nobody: 10:42pm On Aug 15, 2012 Na today....cosmo rays no fit do naija guy anything jor Re: Cosmic Rays Entering Earth From Mars 2nite.pls Switch Off Ur Fone Tonight! by gmyguy(m): 10:44pm On Aug 15, 2012 super Ted is around Re: Cosmic Rays Entering Earth From Mars 2nite.pls Switch Off Ur Fone Tonight! by Captain2012(m): 10:47pm On Aug 15, 2012 Thats the work of a sharp dude that has free mtn text msgs.

Re: Cosmic Rays Entering Earth From Mars 2nite.pls Switch Off Ur Fone Tonight! by Emmysteve(m): 11:43pm On Aug 15, 2012 Hoax Alert: Cosmic Rays from Mars Entering Earth There have been rumors circulating that cosmic rays from Mars are entering Earth tonight so we need to switch off our phones, or put them away from us. Tonight 12:30 am to 3:30 am cosmo rays entering earth from mars. So switch off your mobile at night. Don’t keep your cell with you & put it away while you are sleeping because they are too much dangerous rays: NASA informs BBC NEWS. Pls spread this news. The message above is clearly nothing more than just another HOAX. I don’t know why people are circulating panic messages such as this to disturb the lives of other people. From what I have noticed, this message has been circulating since 2008 and it suddenly reappeared today, 6 April 2012. I also received text messages containing this false information and saw similar Facebook posts. I did my own research and I have found no credible reports that confirm the claims in the warning message. There are no references to such a threat listed on credible scientific websites. I also checked the NASA and BBC news today to see if they have posted something like this. Fortunately, both have never said such a thing and will never probably produce a similar baseless statement. Despite the claim in the message, there are several reasons to say that this information is untrue. First, Mars could not emit harmful radiation because it is not a star. Cosmic rays are emitted by stars. i.e bodies that are undergoing nuclear reactions that is fusion (as occurs in our sun) or fission (as occurs in nuclear reactors). Mars is neither. It is a planet that just reflects sunlight. It cannot emit cosmic radiation. Next, with regards to these rays the earth’s atmosphere is capable of taking care of them so no need to worry. The magnetosphere absorbs and protects us from the sun’s harmful radiation. Whatever remains is too feeble to affect any thing as far as earth. The Earth’s magnetosphere prevents most of the particles from the Sun, carried in the solar wind, from hitting the Earth. Image credit: milesmathis Another thing is that we are actually hit by cosmic rays every day — all day (and night too). If it was going to hurt your cell, then it would have already fried it by now. Sometimes magnetic storms on the sun will fry the electronics of satellites in orbit, and may also blow out the power grid in high latitudes near the Earth’s magnetic poles, but other than static, I don’t see what it might do to your cell phones. So, to anyone who will receive this kind of message, please think it over and help educate others. Spreading dubious and unsubstantiated warnings such as this is counterproductive and is unlikely to help anyone.
