Naturally occurring radiation to which astronauts may be exposed come in three main forms: galactic cosmic rays (GCRs), charged particles accelerated to high energies by eruptive events at the Sun (solar energetic particles, or SEPs), and highly energetic particles trapped in the inner magnetospheres of the Earth and other magnetized planets.
