Space Adapatation Syndrome refers to a blue glow, also called the “Blue Tcherenkov” (named after the scientist), that can be observed when a charged particle passes at a greater speed than the speed of light.
This blue often correlates with narratives recounted by cosmonauts, who suffered from headaches and malaise, a phenomenon called “space sickness”. Tereshkova, first woman in space, suffered from strong hysterical state accompanied by several physical pains.
However, while it is said that this blue glow may be responsible for several of those syndroms, it is almost impossible to locate the exact blue tone. Here, in amateur manner, this blue is been searched for, through the replication of possibilities within a small slide viewer.
