Science in the Dark: Analyzing Cosmic Rays Observed by the Hubble Space Telescope 

Nathan Miles

University of California, Los Angeles 




The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) has been operating in low earth orbit for over 30 years. In that time, through its millions of observations of solar system objects to the most distant galaxies, it has revolutionized our understanding of the universe – from dark energy to exoplanets. But is that all it can do? Using a data-driven approach, we churn through 24 years of HST data and generate statistics on over 1.2 billion cosmic rays using a custom written, open-source data analysis pipeline. In this talk, I will describe our team’s work to repurpose HST into a geophysical observatory by analyzing cosmic rays that pollute the spectacular HST images we are all accustomed to seeing…
