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. [ more ]

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. [ more ]

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. [ more ]
