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.

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

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

The KM3NeT collaboration is a large research group involved in the operation of a neutrino telescope network in the deep Mediterranean Sea, with the aim of detecting high-energy neutrino events. These ...

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

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 ...

Astronomers have made a historic discovery by directly detecting cosmic rays deep inside a dense, starless molecular cloud.

For the first time, scientists have watched high‑energy cosmic rays at work deep inside a thick cloud of gas, not just at its outer surface. Using the High Altitude Water Cherenkov Observatory (HAWC), ...

Cosmic relationships in space mirror human connections, with some stars locked in destructive, codependent partnerships.

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

In July 1954, Enrico Fermi took a beautiful and possibly quite dangerous trip to the French Alps as part of a group from The Summer School at Les Houches. The rest of this post will take a closer look ...
