A cosmic ray from a faraway supernova explosion may have sent a packed passenger jet into free fall in late October, forcing ...

A cosmological simulation study by researchers from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has systematically revealed, for the first time, how the interaction ...

Chinese researchers have identified black holes as the likely source of the high-energy component of the cosmic-ray “knee.” Milestone findings released on November 16 by the Large High Altitude Air Sh ...

Michigan State University astrophysicists are closing in on one of space science’s biggest mysteries: where the galaxy’s most ...

The study showed that Enceldus’ conditions hold the most promise for sustaining life. The research team predicts that the ...

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 ...

Ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays are the most energetic and rarest of particles in the universe – and also one of the most enigmatic. Benjamin Skuse reveals how cosmic-ray mysteries are continuing to test ...

In The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Franklin Richards is born with the Power Cosmic, an unlimited energy source linked to Galactus. Reed and Sue’s exposure to cosmic radiation during conception causes ...

Particles smaller than an atom hurtle through the universe nearly at the speed of light, blasted into space from something, somewhere, in the cosmos. A scientific collaboration of the Pierre Auger ...

The highest-energy cosmic rays come from subatomic interactions within star clusters, not supernovae, say Michigan Tech physicists and collaborators. For decades, researchers assumed the cosmic rays ...

Ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays twist and turn on their way to Earth, which has made it nearly impossible to identify the colossal monsters that create them. In the 1930s, the French physicist Pierre ...
