  • Title: Visual sensations induced by Cerenkov radiation.
    Author: McNulty PJ, Pease VP, Bond VP.
    Journal: Science; 1975 Aug 08; 189(4201):453-4. PubMed ID: 1154020.
    Abstract:
    Pulses of relativistic singly charged particles entering the eyeball induce a variety of visual phenomena by means of Cerenkov radiation generated during their passage through the vitreous. These phenomena are similar in appearance to many of the visual sensations experienced by Apollo astronauts exposed to the cosmic rays in deep space.
