The IceCube Neutrino Observatory, buried deep in Antarctic ice, has spent two decades chasing the faintest signals from the ...

Scientists have used a novel new approach to discover the potential origins of the sun goddess particle Amaterasu, the second ...

New analysis by Francesca Capel and Nadine Bourriche narrows possible sources of the Amaterasu cosmic ray, suggesting nearby galaxies like M82 rather than the Local Void.

Francesca Capel and Nadine Bourriche analyze the most energetic particle that has ever hit Earth and its possible origin in ...

Cosmic rays are extremely fast, charged particles that travel through space at nearly the speed of light. The Amaterasu particle was detected in 2021 by the Telescope Array experiment in the U.S. It ...

Scientists are exploring the origins of the Amaterasu particle, an extremely energetic cosmic ray first detected in 2021, which carries unprecedented energy levels.

Cosmic rays inside a dense molecular cloud were measured for the first time, helping scientists better understand how stars begin forming.

LHAASO has uncovered that micro-quasars, black holes feeding on companion stars, are powerful PeV particle accelerators. Their jets produce ultra-high-energy gamma rays and protons that exceed ...

On July 2, 2025, the China-led Einstein Probe (EP) space telescope detected an exceptionally bright X-ray source whose ...

The study of cosmic rays and heliospheric physics bridges our understanding of high‐energy particles from distant astrophysical sources and the dynamic environment shaped by the solar wind and ...

In May 2021, an unusually high flux of cosmic rays bombarded Earth. According to a team of astrophysicists from the Raman Research Institute in Bengaluru and the University of Florida in the United ...
