Extremely High Energy "Sun Goddess" Particle Spotted By Scientists
The particle believed to have originated deep in the space and is making waves because it is extremely rare for a high-energy particle to fall on Earth.

Solar Storm 14,300 Years Ago Created Radiocarbon Spike, Scientists Find
A team of scientists has discovered a huge spike in radiocarbon levels 14,300 years ago by analyzing ancient tree rings found in the French Alps.

Analysis of Neutrino That Crashed Into Antarctica Sheds Light on Origin of Cosmic Rays
In a new study, published in Science, researchers have detected a cosmic ray offshoot called a neutrino or ghost particles. These parties are considered so evasive that they interact with anything but as they travel, they don't come in contact with the atoms. Neutrinos are like small particles messengers that have spawned a new field of astronomy c...

NASA’s Hubble Telescope Captures Stunning Image of 'Colourful Star-Forming Region'
NASA has shared a stunningly colourful image that shows a region in outer space where newborn stars are taking shape. It is splattered with hues of red and yellow, with twinkling stars dotting the region like diamonds and sparkling as the sun's rays pass through them. The American space agency said that this colourful star-forming region looks a bi...

Spectacular Gamma Radiation From Collapse Of Dying Star Could Change Understanding Of The Universe
Scientists have recorded a cosmic explosion of gamma radiation from a collapsing star that challenges the established theory of gamma-ray bursts. The scientists said that these explosions occur when a massive star abruptly detonates and turns into a black hole.

Gamma Ray Emission, Trillion Times More Energetic Than Light, Observed
In a cosmic first, researchers have observed the most powerful and luminous yet known energy release -- a trillion times more energetic than visible light -- in the brightest type of electromagnetic events known to occur in the universe called gamma-ray bursts (GRBs).

NASA's 41-Year-Old Voyager 2 Probe May Be Nearing Interstellar Space
NASA's Voyager 2 probe that was launched in 1977 has detected an increase in cosmic rays that originate outside our solar system, indicating that it is near the interstellar space.

After 41 Years, NASA's Voyager 2 May Be Near Interstellar Space
NASA's Voyager 2 probe that was launched in 1977 has detected an increase in cosmic rays that originate outside our solar system, indicating that it is near the interstellar space.

China Starts Building Largest Cosmic-Ray Observatory
Located about 4,410 meters above sea level in the mountainous areas in southwest China's Sichuan Province, the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) will attempt to search for the origin of high energy cosmic rays, state-run People's Daily reported.

NASA's Kepler Hit by Cosmic Ray Event While Observing TRAPPIST-1
"The benign event is the fourth occurrence of cosmic ray susceptibility since launch in March 2009. The spacecraft remains healthy and is operating nominally."

Indian Scientists Detect Crack In Earth's Magnetic Shield
The world's largest and most sensitive cosmic ray monitor, located in India, has recorded a burst of galactic cosmic rays that indicates a crack in the Earth's magnetic shield, according to scientists.

Alien Life May Feed On Cosmic Rays, Say Study
Cosmic rays zipping through the space may feed alien life found on the Earth and potentially on other planets, a new study suggests.

Trip To Mars Could Cause Dementia In Astronauts: Study
Astronauts travelling to Mars might be at risk of long-term brain damage and even dementia due to galactic cosmic ray exposure, said a new study.

Origin Of Mysterious Cosmic X-Rays Found
Scientists have confirmed that some of the X-ray emissions in our universe originate from a huge bubble of hot ionised gas enveloping our solar system, a finding that strengthens our understanding of the solar neighbourhood's early history.
