Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Cosmic radiation could be a boon for subsurface life on worlds such as Europa (left), Mars (center) and Enceladus (right), ...

Stars and planets form in cold, dense clouds of gas and dust, where cosmic rays are the dominant source of ionization and heating. Cosmic rays are high-energy particles, including protons, electrons, ...

Astronomers at the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR), working with international collaborators, have made a striking discovery involving a previously unknown type of cosmic ...

Mars, Europa and Enceladus are the three most promising locations in the solar system to search for life living off cosmic rays. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

LHAASO has uncovered that micro-quasars, black holes feeding on companion stars, are powerful PeV particle accelerators. Their jets produce ultra-high-energy gamma rays and protons that exceed ...

NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory catalog provides over 400,000 sources and detailed X-ray mapping of the Milky Way center, ...

CERN's ALICE collaboration reveals how fragile deuterons survive high-energy collisions, impacting models of cosmic rays and ...

We show how this "cosmic clock" uncovers the evolution of rivers, coasts and habitats.
