For the first time, scientists have watched high‑energy cosmic rays at work deep inside a thick cloud of gas, not just at its ...
Cosmic rays inside a dense molecular cloud were measured for the first time, helping scientists better understand how stars begin forming.
An illustration of a young solar system immersed in high-energy cosmic rays from a nearby supernova. Unlike considering only direct injection of supernova ejecta, this process naturally explains key ...
Milestone results released by the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) on November 16 have solved a decades-old mystery about the cosmic ray energy spectrum—which shows a sharp decrease ...
For decades, astronomers and researchers have been monitoring the skies, detecting a wide range of signals from deep space. While many of these radio waves and electromagnetic bursts can be traced to ...

The traditional astrophysical recipe for life as we know it is quite simple: Get a rocky, gas-shrouded world in a “habitable zone” orbit around a star so that it’s not too hot or too cold. Then just ...
