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

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory, buried deep in Antarctic ice, has spent two decades chasing the faintest signals from the most violent corners of the universe. Its latest results, drawn from 13 ...

Deep inside a nearby galaxy, a black hole sits behind a thick wall of dust. Almost all its light gets trapped.

Where starlight doesn't reach, new things are born: For the first time, an international research team has directly measured ...

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

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

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 jetliner was nearly knocked out of the sky and sent plummeting to a deadly crash that would have killed all onboard by a bizarre attack from outer space – an explosive burst of cosmic rays sent ...

We show how this "cosmic clock" uncovers the evolution of rivers, coasts and habitats.

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 ...
