Extract

At present there are two general theories of the origin of cosmic rays. One is that most, if not all, galactic cosmic rays originate within the Galaxy, probably during supernova explosions. The other is that cosmic rays pervade the universe, originating mainly in the powerful radio galaxies and possibly in quasars, where vast stores of energy are available. The former theory has been discussed in detail by Ginzburg and Syrovatskii, while proponents of the latter theory include Burbidge and Hoyle, and Burbidge.
