Galactic Cosmic Rays is a class of high-energy charged particles, predominantly protons and atomic nuclei, of extrasolar origin that originate from outside the solar system and propagate through the Milky Way galaxy, distinguished from solar and anomalous cosmic rays by their higher energies and nucleosynthetic signatures indicative of supernova and other galactic astrophysical processes.
