Why future Artemis astronauts need a better warning system on the moon

NASA aims to return astronauts to the moon by 2026, facing challenges due to lack of magnetic field protection from cosmic rays and solar energetic particles.

Star-eating black hole could power cosmic particle accelerator

A microquasar has been identified as a potential natural particle-accelerator for cosmic rays growth.
A newly developed 'smart' insulin molecule could improve diabetes management by regulating blood sugar levels more effectively.

The Creepy Sounds the Earth Made When Its Magnetic Field Flipped Will Haunt Your Dreams

Scientists have recreated the sound of Earth's magnetic field flipping during the Laschamp event, offering insight into a historic cataclysmic phenomenon.

The Laschamp event revealed how a weakened magnetic field exposes Earth to cosmic rays and could disrupt modern technology.

This Dwarf Planet Is Basically a Sweet Red Snow Cone

Arrokoth's sweet taste comes from sugars formed due to cosmic rays and solar wind on its frozen methanol surface.

Scientist Warns That NASA's Voyager Probes Are Dodging Bullets Out There

Voyager probes in interstellar space face risks from cosmic rays, causing communication issues with Earth.

A Ray From Space Hit Earth with Such Incredible Power That Scientists Named It After a God

Scientists have detected a powerful cosmic ray with the second-highest energy ever recorded.
The ray, named the Amaterasu particle, has puzzled scientists as it seems to come from an empty part of space.
Studying ultra-high-energy cosmic rays could lead to a better understanding of the universe and new advancements in physics.

Meet "Amaterasu": Astronomers detect highest energy cosmic ray since 1991

Astronomers have detected an ultra-high-energy cosmic ray with a energy level of 244 EeV, the most energetic since 1991.
The cosmic ray has been named the 'Amaterasu' particle, after the Shinto sun goddess.
Cosmic rays are highly energetic particles that break apart into showers of other particles when they strike the Earth's atmosphere.

What the heck is going on?' Extremely high-energy particle detected falling to Earth

Astronomers have detected a rare and extremely high-energy particle falling to Earth from space, named Amaterasu.
It is one of the highest-energy cosmic rays ever detected, with an energy exceeding 240 exa-electron volts (EeV).
The origins of these ultra-high-energy particles remain unknown, but experts believe they can only be produced by very powerful celestial events.

Astrophysicists can't locate the source of an ultra-rare space ray

Astronomers detect one of the most powerful cosmic rays ever observed, named Amaterasu.
Amaterasu may have originated from an invisible corridor or void in the universe.
The energy of the cosmic ray is 240 quintillion electron volts, much higher than a lightning bolt.
