Scientists Trace Origins of Mysterious High-Energy Cosmic Rays
Originally Published 7 months ago — by Big Think
Astronomers are making significant progress in identifying the origins of the highest energy cosmic rays, with evidence pointing to our own galaxy. Using detectors like IceCube and LHAASO, scientists have traced these particles back to sources such as pulsar wind nebulae, supernova remnants, and black holes within the Milky Way, advancing our understanding of cosmic particle acceleration and multi-messenger astronomy.
