Cosmic Ray Station - Sulphur Mountain

The Cosmic Ray Station is a research facility located at the top of Sulphur Mountain in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada. It was established in 1956 by the National Research Council of Canada to study cosmic rays, which are high-energy particles that originate from outer space. The research station features a number of instruments and detectors designed to measure and study cosmic rays, as well as facilities for housing researchers and staff. The location of the station, high above the Earth's surface, provides a unique opportunity for scientists to study cosmic rays in an environment that is free from the interference of the Earth's atmosphere. The Cosmic Ray Station is not open to the public, but visitors to Sulphur Mountain can see the buildings from the observation deck and learn about the research conducted there through interpretive displays. #sulphurmountain #canada #banff #alberta #calgary
