The disc-shaped Milky Way appears to be slowly rotating like an enormous wheel.

This is only one of several hypotheses advanced to account for the rays' origin. Dr. Millikan used to believe they were liberated in interstellar space during the coalescence of light elements into heavier ones. Dr. Fritz Zwicky of Caltech believes that cosmic rays may be the products of individual stellar explosions which occur all the time in some region or other of the universe...
