The National Space Research and Development Agency says Nigeria has acquired a cosmic ray muon detector to aid climate change and atmospheric research.
He said the muon detector was built and designed by the physics and astronomy department of Georgia State University .Rabiu said cosmic rays are useful in studying the climate because they are natural radiations that are not ionised in the atmosphere and vary in location, latitude, and altitude — and can be modified when certain anthropogenic activities occur.
Rabiu said Africa needs more monitoring systems for space weather, adding that only a few countries have global navigation satellite system receivers.
