Every second, without you knowing it, thousands of billions of invisible particles pass through your body. These cosmic objects travel across the Universe from distant sources, moving at prodigious ...

What processes other than water and energy could be responsible for creating life on other worlds? This is what a recent study published in the International Journal of Astrobiology hopes to address ...

The study of cosmic rays, high-energy particles originating from extraterrestrial sources, has significantly progressed with the advent of both ground-based and space-borne detection techniques.

Cosmic rays, high‐energy particles from extraterrestrial sources, continuously bombard the Earth, providing a natural probe of astrophysical processes. When these particles interact with the ...

At times, the sun ejects energetic material into space, which can have consequences for space-based and even ground-based ...

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 ...

A tiny, dense stellar corpse in a nearby galaxy is pumping out so much energy that, on paper, it should have blown itself ...

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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. The first step on the moon was one of humanity's most exciting accomplishments. Now scientists are planning return trips – and ...

"You know we haven't done enough research into the effects of cosmic rays!" Ben may have been right way back when Stan Lee and Jack Kirby created him and the rest of the Fantastic Four 64 years ago, ...

In principle, cosmic-ray observations can provide detailed insights into the physical profile of a passing ICME. But despite ...
