TL;DR Summary

Scientists at the University of Utah and the University of Tokyo have detected a rare cosmic ray, named the "Amaterasu particle," believed to have originated from beyond the Milky Way galaxy. The particle's energy rivals that of the record-setting "Oh-My-God" particle observed in 1991. The source of these ultra-high-energy cosmic rays remains a mystery, as there is no known high-energy source capable of producing them. The Amaterasu particle is thought to have come from the Local Void, an empty region near the Milky Way. The discovery was made by the Telescope Array observatory in Utah, which aims to capture more cosmic ray events and provide further insights into cosmic mysteries.
