Scientists have used a novel new approach to discover the potential origins of the sun goddess particle Amaterasu, the second ...

New analysis by Francesca Capel and Nadine Bourriche narrows possible sources of the Amaterasu cosmic ray, suggesting nearby galaxies like M82 rather than the Local Void.

China’s Einstein Probe has detected an event suspected to be the first recorded instance of a black hole devouring a white dwarf.

Astronomers have made a historic discovery by directly detecting cosmic rays deep inside a dense, starless molecular cloud.

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

Cosmic rays are extremely fast, charged particles that travel through space at nearly the speed of light. The Amaterasu ...

Stars and planets form in cold, dense clouds of gas and dust, where cosmic rays are the dominant source of ionization and heating. Cosmic rays are high-energy particles, including protons, electrons, ...

A seven-hour gamma-ray burst, GRB 250702B, stuns astronomers and hints at powerful new cosmic engines still unknown to science.

Astronomers have spotted a mysteriously mature “baby cluster” of galaxies in the early universe, scarcely a billion years ...

The study of cosmic ray anisotropy and magnetic fields lies at the intersection of astrophysics and plasma physics, revealing subtle imprints of the turbulent interstellar medium and the local ...
