Cosmic rays used to track and visualize tropical cyclones open the eye of the storm. For the first time, high-energy muon particles generated in the atmosphere have made it possible for researchers to examine the structures of storms in a manner that conventional visualization methods, like satelli
Cosmic rays used to track and visualize tropical cyclones open the eye of the storm.
The redder areas are low-pressure warm air, and the green areas are higher-pressure cooler air. The cyclone in this image is about 15 kilometers tall.

Each scintillator sensor is extremely dense to maximize the chances that a muon will interact with it. Arranged in a grid, the sensors can form a crude image of whatever the muons passed through to reach the sensor. Credit: 2022 Hiroyuki KM Tanaka
