Abstract
A summary is presented of our knowledge concerning the properties and origin of cosmic rays observed near the Earth. We discuss different conceptions of the origin of cosmic rays, including both galactic and metagalactic origins, and their relation to galactic structure. Our arguments favour a galactic rather than a metagalactic origin.
