[question] radiation in space (lemmy.world)

Does anybody have good data on what radiation exists in space?

I have found sporadic information, such as on Wikipedia but I wonder whether there's nicer, clear structured information on this topic?

There is Spacecraft_radiation_challenges.

I believe simply using enough water would be perfectly fine for shielding. The problem is using enough of it and the extra weight.

In Stowaway (2021) - IMDb they have a special room that is shielded using electromagnetism.
