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.

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 ...

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

Stars and planets form in cold, dense clouds of gas and dust, where cosmic rays are the dominant source of ionization and heating. Cosmic rays are high-energy particles, including protons, electrons, ...

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

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

While the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens were butting heads and other body parts a couple of Sundays ago, they were simultaneously taking a whole different type of pounding, though they ...

Ben may have been right way back when Stan Lee and Jack Kirby created him and the rest of the Fantastic Four 64 years ago, but we know a heck of a lot more about cosmic rays today. Back then, Grimm, ...
