Synthesis of the Elements in Stars
TL;DR: In this article, a count of the stable and radioactive elements and isotopes is given, and Table I,1 shows that only promethium has not been found in nature, whereas 99 elements are found terrestrially and technetium is found in stars.
Journal ArticleDOI
Origin of cosmic rays.
J. W. Dungey,Fred Hoyle +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was claimed that the observed isotropy of the cosmic rays incident on the earth is simply a consequence of a magnetic field assumed to exist in interstellar space, and the basis for this claim is that a single particle of energy n and charge e is deflected through an appreciable angle after travelling a distance d across a magnetic magnetic field of intensity H, provided n equal to 1010 eV., e equal to the electronic charge (4·77 × 10-10 E.G.U.), and d equal to radius of the galaxy (∽3

The effect of interstellar matter on climatic variation
Fred Hoyle,R. A. Lyttleton +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of interstellar matter on the sun's radiation is considered with a view to explaining changes in terrestrial climate, and it appears that a star in passing through a nebulous cloud will capture an amount of material which by the energy of its fall to the solar surface can bring about considerable changes in the quantity of radiation emitted.
