He coined the term 'cosmic rays.;" "Why is a charged electroscope discharged more rapidly in a balloon than on the earth? What reaches us from beyond the Milky Way? Phenomena first noticed in 1906, and continuously investigated since then by the most delicate experimental methods, led Millikan and others experimenters to formulate the theory of cosmic rays. This book tells the whole history of this most remarkable of recent discoveries in physics, relating the results achieved, and illustrating and describing in detail the beautiful instruments used in the work.
