Unlock What Cosmic Rays Reveal About the Universes Most Violent Events

Cosmic rays are silent messengers from the universe's most violent explosions, carrying secrets across space and time.

Imagine a single particle, a proton or atomic nucleus, accelerated to nearly the speed of light by a dying star or a supermassive black hole. These cosmic rays constantly bombard Earth, and by decoding their energy and origin, we can peer into the hearts of cosmic catastrophes. This video explores how scientists detect these elusive particles using massive ground arrays and space-based laboratories. We'll uncover what they tell us about supernova remnants, active galactic nuclei, and the mysterious sources of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays. Join us on a journey to understand the fundamental forces that shape our universe, revealed by this invisible rain from the cosmos.

What cosmic mysteries do you think these high-energy particles will help solve next?
