Some of the most energetic cosmic rays in the galaxy may come from a surprisingly small source. If Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics researcher Laura Olivera-Nieto and her colleagues are right, ...

In 1991, an experiment detected the highest-energy cosmic ray ever observed. Later dubbed the Oh-My-God particle, the cosmic ray’s energy shocked astrophysicists. Nothing in our galaxy had the power ...

The Auger collaboration, which operates a cosmic ray observatory spanning 3000 km2 (~1158 sq mi) in the Argentine Andes, announces the observation of an unexpected structure in the spectrum ...

Researchers recently detected an "ultra-high-energy" cosmic ray, which is the most powerful since the famous "Oh My God" particle was detected in 1991. They have no idea where it came from. When you ...

When you have a lot of responsibilities, like family, work, keeping a household running, and taking care of yourself, it can be exhausting. You feel like you don’t have the physical and mental energy ...

The “Oh-My-God” particle has a new companion. In 1991, physicists spotted a particle from space that crashed into Earth with so much energy that it warranted an “OMG!” With 320 quintillion electron ...

A neutrino from space recently plunged into the Mediterranean Sea with an energy that blows all other known neutrinos out of the water. Packing a punch of some 220 million billion electron volts, this ...

To reach this conclusion, scientists studied millions of data points captured by a cosmic ray detector on the ISS. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.
