Amaterasu—the most powerful cosmic ray seen in three decades—seems to come from an empty point of the sky. New telescopes may solve the mystery of its origins

Where do these ultra-high energy cosmic rays come from? They don't point back to any source. Researchers are flummoxed.

Tornadoes, earthquakes and wildfires don’t have to lead to death and destruction. Plus, the most powerful cosmic ray since the Oh-My-God particle and a ‘treasure trove’ of new CRISPR systems holds promise for genome editing.

In May 2021, a team of astronomers made an exceedingly rare discovery: an extremely high-energy cosmic ray beaming from outer space — which confusingly came from nowhere in particular. "When I first discovered this ultra-high-energy cosmic ray, I thought there must have been a mistake, as it showed an energy level unprecedented in the last […]

Here are the top national stories from the week, including Dolly Partons halftime performance at the Cowboys vs. Commanders Thanksgiving game.

Researchers have detected one of the highest-energy particles ever falling to Earth. And no one knows where it came from.

Unlike most space junk, the 109-metre wide space station is too big to completely vapourise in Earth’s atmosphere upon reentry.

Researchers have discovered an extremely high-energy particle that seemingly came from a part of the universe where there is nothing. It was named "Amaterasu" after a Japanese goddess.

Scientists have recently made an intriguing discovery by detecting the second-most powerful cosmic ray originating from beyond our galaxy. This ultra-high-energy particle, named the Amaterasu particle after the sun goddess in Japanese mythology, has left researchers astounded by its sheer power.

The Telescope Array Collaboration detected the highest cosmic energy in over 30 years. A Utah telescope intercepted an ultra-high-energy cosmic ray event, only second to the 1991 "Oh-My-God" particle.
