Abstract
At the present time and indeed ever since the fifties, the astronomical aspect (including investigations of different variations) has played a dominating role in the study of cosmic rays. This is explained, firstly, by the creation of accelerators with which cosmic rays cannot compete for the purposes of high-energy physics. (I mean, of course, at those energies reached by accelerators). Secondly, the development both of astronomy itself and of equipment for the investigation of primary cosmic rays has increased the possibilities of new discoveries in cosmic ray astrophysics and has stimulated greatly a correspondingly increased interest in the subject. There is hardly any doubt that the situation will remain the same in the foreseeable future, and this will be touched upon again at the end of the paper.
