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

Astronomers have found a vast loop-like structure, 20 light years across, adjacent to the most massive star-forming region known in our galaxy. The loop, which was observed in X-ray wavelengths, is 15 ...

When massive stars reach the end of their life cycles, they often explode in dramatic cosmic events called supernovae. These powerful explosions not only scatter elements crucial for forming new stars ...

A microquasar's jets are creating shockwaves that could be creating the strange cosmic rays we see bombarding Earth. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.

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.

Composite image of the Tycho Supernova remnant. Shock waves from such explosive events are believed to be the main drivers behind cosmic rays. Scientists have come a step closer to understanding how ...

Cosmic rays are extremely fast, charged particles that travel through space at nearly the speed of light. The Amaterasu ...

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), ...

Nearly 100 years ago, scientists detected the first signs of cosmic rays — subatomic particles (mostly protons) that zip through space at nearly the speed of light. The most energetic cosmic rays hit ...

Scientists are seeking answers to a new outer space mystery after a telescope in Utah detected the most powerful cosmic ray seen in more than three decades, according to the authors of new research ...
