TL;DR Summary

Scientists have discovered a new particle called the "sun goddess" particle, named Amaterasu, which has an energy level one million times greater than what can be generated in humanity's most powerful particle accelerators. This particle, detected by the Telescope Array experiment, is the most energetic charged particle ever detected and its origins and nature remain a mystery. It could potentially open up new avenues in high-energy astrophysics and challenge the Standard Model of particle physics. Further investigation and collaboration with next-generation observatories are expected to shed light on the Amaterasu particle.
