Not astronomy, but physics.
Alpha rays (helium nuclei) are stopped by paper.
Beta rays (electrons) are stopped by various thicknesses of materials (CRT glass, for example), depending on their energy.
Gamma, X, and UV are all electromagnetic radiation, in the form of photons. Gamma has more energy than X, and both more than UV. Gamma has the most penetration, X is next, UV, then beta and finally alpha rays.

alpha rays - least penetrating ~ blocked by a sheet of paper. Consists of helium nuclei.
beta rays - blocked by ~ blocked by 0.5cm aluminium. Consists of electrons.
UV rays - electromagnetic radiation (like light, so it's not made up of particles as such)
x-rays - more energetic electromagnetic radiation.
gamma rays - most penetrating. electromagnetic radiation, like x-rays and UV. Blocked by lead, a thick concrete wall, ~km of earth etc...

Gamma rays are most penetrating, bones, long distance metal shipping containers for RFID's.
alpha shorter,
beta , written that they are dangerous if inhaled, as in plutonium dust
xrays, All above are ManMADE radiation
UV rays, natural radiation, chest xray = 1 yr natural radiation/sunlight
CT scan= 600 chest xrays, CT contrast is radioactive, you need to KNOW your biological accumulation dose. Accumlated radiation causes CANCER. radiation cancer treatments can cause 2ndary cancers! What a curse radiation is. Deceptive and they fiercely guard it, they will threaten you if you comment on their sites.
all others are damaging radiation, cumulative, see radiationnetwork.gov or doe.gov or unethical human radiation experiments, The Plutonium Files by Eileen Welsome, The Treatment about the Cincinnati Radiation experiments on prisoners, the lethal dose is already established, 2 Rems, they know it. see CT Pediatric Radiation on www.auntminnie.com and rsna.org-- they are addicted to radiation and imaging scans. They DON't CARE what it does to you as long as they have a body, dead or alive to LIGHT up their screens. I don't know all the energy, you can find it on those sites.
