    Cosmic chemistry inside interstellar clouds points to galactic wind of low-energy cosmic rays

    "A bit of Earth-bound chemistry has led scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, to conclude that there
    is an unsuspected wind of low-energy cosmic ray particles blowing through the galaxy. The cosmic rays aren't
    energetic enough to make headway against the solar wind to reach Earth, but they appear to have a big impact
    on the chemistry within tenuous clouds of gas between stars, so-called diffuse interstellar clouds."
