  5. #Voyager found that 75% of the #CosmicRays heading our way from #InterstellarSpace 🌌 get filtered out in the #heliosphere’s outer reaches. If the encounter with the next cloud squeezes the heliosphere all the way down to #Earth’s #orbit, life forms would be exposed to an intense #radiation environment that would riddle #DNA 🧬 with mutations. There’s evidence of such an event around the time early #hominids were just beginning to pick up stone tools science.org/content/article/vo
