Seems like everybody is trying Too hard to make something out of nothing. Unless this was a repeatable result where the same coordinates in the sky at the exact altitudes produce the exact repeatable pattern, this is the equivalent on random spill/splash from liquids onto a piece of paper that was then dried. There are plenty of stuff up there besides cosmic rays that will interact with film.

This was not a physics experiment, this was an art project.
Too bad the TIL statement makes the art project be more than what is.
I don’t know if I trust the photography student to explain the film’s deterioration using physics terms
