New research reports the most powerful cosmic rays ever detected. Because the rays lose energy as they travel through space, their detection at high energies means they are likely coming from sources relatively close to Earth.

Scientists with the HESS Observatory have identified the most energetic cosmic electrons ever observed. What could this mean for our understanding of the universe?

Five telescopes of the H.E.S.S.-collaboration in Namibia are used to study cosmic radiation, especially gamma radiation. With data from 10 years of observations, researchers have now been able to detect cosmic electrons and positrons with an unprecedented energy of more than 10 tera-electronvolts.
