Would the grain show up in digital pictures as well or only on film? I know why it appears on film but the gnomes that work my cell phone camera won't give me a straight answer.
I don't think it would look the same, if it was a CMOS sensor, I think you'd see lots of bright white pixels
Aren't CCDs going the way of the dinosaur even in phones now? I thought the whole industry had more or less shifted to CMOS sensors now?
Very cool video regardless though
Way to bust that with reality! Kept the fact checks coming!
IIRC radiation would cause grain on a cell phone camers.

Pretty much, but highly dependent on the energy of the ionizing radiation. Lower would come out as a dull grain, higher would show up as bright spots. Neither would look like this post though lol
Not exactly the same, but an electron beam puts a lot of noise in the image: https://youtu.be/Uf4Ux4SlyT4
Also I've heard the international space station gets a lot of dead pixels on their cameras from cosmic radiation.
