Astronaut Recalls Spacecrafts Flying Through Deadly "Black Zones"

Boeing Starliner crewed mission's upgrades for astronaut safety.

Shields up: New ideas might make active shielding viable

Solar events like flares are easier to shield against, while galactic cosmic rays are more penetrating and challenging to shield.
Active shields that deflect charged particles are a potential solution for protecting astronauts from deep space radiation.
