A QUICK HISTORY OF COSMIC RAY MANTHE BIRTH OF AN EXTRAORDINARY PARTICLE… GERMAN SCIENTIST, VICTOR HESS AND HIS BALLOON WOW!!!
A QUICK HISTORY OF COSMIC RAY MANTHE BIRTH OF AN EXTRAORDINARY PARTICLE… • In 1912, Victor Hess took a radiation counter (using a gold leaf electroscope) on a balloon flight. • Traveling 17,500 feet without oxygen, he observed the radiation increase in his balloon climbed.
