Francesca Capel and Nadine Bourriche analyze the most energetic particle that has ever hit Earth and its possible origin in ...

Cosmic rays inside a dense molecular cloud were measured for the first time, helping scientists better understand how stars begin forming.

A newly detected X-ray transient may reveal the first direct evidence of an intermediate-mass black hole consuming a white dwarf. A newly observed cosmic outburst is giving astronomers a rare glimpse ...

LHAASO has uncovered that micro-quasars, black holes feeding on companion stars, are powerful PeV particle accelerators. Their jets produce ultra-high-energy gamma rays and protons that exceed ...

Scientists are exploring the origins of the Amaterasu particle, an extremely energetic cosmic ray first detected in 2021, which carries unprecedented energy levels.

On July 2, 2025, the China-led Einstein Probe (EP) space telescope detected an exceptionally bright X-ray source whose ...

In May 2021, an unusually high flux of cosmic rays bombarded Earth. According to a team of astrophysicists from the Raman Research Institute in Bengaluru and the University of Florida in the United ...
