The latest observations from Low Earth Orbit with the International Space Station provide further evidence of spectral hardening and softening of cosmic ray particles. The CALorimetric Electron ...

The investigation of cosmic rays and their potential connection with dark matter occupies a central role in contemporary astrophysics. Recent experimental and theoretical advances have refined our ...

Cosmic rays, high-energy particles that travel through space, have puzzled scientists for decades. One particular feature of their energy spectrum—the “knee”—has long remained a mystery. Recent ...

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 ...

Supermassive black holes are some of the most powerful engines in the universe. These giants sit at the centers of galaxies, including your own Milky Way, and sometimes become active by pulling in ...

When Voyager 1 finally crossed the “termination shock” at the edge of interstellar space in December 2004, space physicists anticipated the long-sought discovery of the source of anomalous cosmic rays ...

A new experiment set for an Aug. 14 launch to the International Space Station will provide an unprecedented look at a rain of particles from deep space, called cosmic rays, that constantly showers our ...

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 ...

Mars, Europa and Enceladus are the three most promising locations in the solar system to search for life living off cosmic rays. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

Much of our understanding of the Universe and its mysterious phenomena is based on theoretical interpretations. In order to deepen the understanding of distant objects and energetic phenomena, ...
