Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that astronauts on the ISS are at risk during solar storms?

Yes. A reference account of the 2003 Halloween storms states that ISS astronauts had to shelter in the more shielded Russian Orbital Segment to protect against increased radiation. Other sources describe solar storm radiation as a hazard to astronauts and to ISS crews during EVAs, while one commentary downplays the danger.
