Our planet has recently been struck by an extraordinary burst of cosmic rays, demonstrating an intensity level that is unparalleled in recorded history. As we delve into the specifics of this event, ...
Milestone results released by the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) on November 16 have solved a decades-old mystery about the cosmic ray energy spectrum—which shows a sharp decrease ...
Many massive stars explode as supernovae. If cosmic-ray baths are common in such environments, then the thermal histories that shaped Earth's interior may be common as well. This realization has ...
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 ...
Michigan State University astrophysicists are closing in on one of space science’s biggest mysteries: where the galaxy’s most energetic particles come from. Their studies uncovered a pulsar wind ...
