The Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System (VERITAS) is a collection of four 12-meter Cherenkov telescopes used to detect astrophysical sources of very-high-energy gamma rays.

On May 27, 2021, the Telescope Array experiment detected the second-highest extreme-energy cosmic ray. At 2.4 x 1020eV, the energy of this single subatomic particle is equivalent to dropping a ...

In 1991, an experiment detected the highest-energy cosmic ray ever observed. Later dubbed the Oh-My-God particle, the cosmic ray’s energy shocked astrophysicists. Nothing in our galaxy had the ...

A groundbreaking new survey from China’s LHAASO observatory has unveiled powerful ultrahigh-energy gamma-ray emissions across ...

Scientists conduct first test of a wireless cosmic ray navigation system System could be used to guide underwater or underground robots.

Voluminous clouds of cosmic dust permeate our galaxy, but only recently has software allowed detailed observations of the stuff at scale.

Scientists have created a computer simulation that mimics what the Square Kilometer Array Low-frequency (SKA-Low) telescope will see when it searches for signals from the universe's earliest ...

New research details the detection of a rare, high-energy cosmic ray by Utah’s Telescope Array, shedding light on the mysteries of cosmic ray origins and behavior. Illustration: Telescope Array ...

Astronomers have recently unveiled an extraordinary image of the Sculptor Galaxy, also known as Caldwell 65, a stunning galactic masterpiece that has been revealed in an unprecedented array of colors.

Our solar system resides inside a vast cavity, now known as the Local Bubble, which is about 1,000 light-years across.

Cosmic ray particles capable of penetrating even the densest buildings or underground structures can provide an essentially foolproof timing system for synchronising high-frequency trades in the ...
