A cosmic ray that smacked into Earth's atmosphere has absolutely gobsmacked astrophysicists.

Space scientists have detected an extremely rare, ultra-high-energy particle that they believe traveled to Earth from beyond the Milky Way galaxy.

The ‘Amaterasu particle’ is the second most powerful particle of its kind ever seen – but researchers do not even really know what it is

Scientists have discovered a mysterious, highly energetic "sun goddess" particle that could act as a messenger for some of the universe’s most powerful events.

Astronomers are trying to figure out what could have emitted a cosmic ray with such extraordinary energy.

The cosmic phenomenon carried the energy of 240 quintillion electron volts - thats 240 billion billion (followed by 18 zeros). It was detected in Utah in May 2021 and revealed today.

In 1991, physicists spotted a cosmic ray with so much energy it warranted an ‘OMG.’ Now that energetic particle has a new companion.

The Amaterasu particle is one of the highest-energy cosmic rays ever detected.

Scientists spot a particle of intense energy, but explaining where it came from might require some new physics. Scientists spot a particle of intense energy, but explaining where it came from might require some new physics.
