Description: An illustration of the Telescope Array detecting the air shower created from a cosmic ray passing through the atmosphere. The small blue squares denote surface detectors, with the red ones representing detectors that are activated by the air shower. The three colored triangles represent fluorescence being detected by the three fluorescence telescopes. A similar illustration by the same author can be found in the Millard County Cosmic Ray Center in Delta, Utah.
