The moon would look brighter than the SUN if the human eye could see cosmic rays

If our eyes could see high-energy radiation called gamma rays the moon would appear brighter than the sun, experts have revealed. NASA's Fermi telescope has been studying our neighbour in space for the past decade, examining bursts of particles caused by the impact of cosmic rays. These fast moving particles, which originate outside our solar system, impact on the surface of the moon regularly as our natural satellite has no magnetic shield. Now, the space agency has release images and animated footage of the gamma rays that are produced when these cosmic rays hit the moon. If our eyes could see high-energy radiation called gamma rays the moon would appear brighter than the sun, experts have revealed.
