The rock inside is a mineral containing uranium. As the uranium decays it releases Alpha and Beta particles. The Alpha particles (really just a helium nucleus) leaves a long thicker trail, and the Beta particles (a high energy electron) leaves much more curved trails. If anyone would like further explanation as to how this thing works I’m happy to answer any questions :)
