Don't even know where to get them...

Chocolate aisle of the supermarket

NASA has made the Apollo Light flash moving emulsion detector - a black box that completely covers the astronaut’s head. It’s interior is lined with a silver bromide film that can detect cosmic rays. it completely blocks their vision so it was completely dark. They could see large subtle white flash upper right eye - eyes open or shut all astronauts report flashes same spot a white streak they seem to come in clusters. the detectors record cosmic rays passing through the helmet. twice the astronauts reports a flash at exactly the same time as a cosmic ray blasts through the helmet.

The magnetosphere is the region above the ionosphere that is defined by the extent of Earth's magnetic field in space. It extends several tens of thousands of kilometres into space, protecting Earth from the charged particles of the solar wind and cosmic rays that would otherwise strip away the upper atmosphere, including the ozone layer that protects Earth from the harmful ultraviolet radiation. Have a look here:
