Despite its remarkable detection, the analysis reveals that the direction from which this cosmic ray arrived does not align with any discernible source.
Cosmic rays are not just particles from space; they are energetic charged particles that come from both galactic and extragalactic sources.
Among these, the extremely high-energy cosmic rays are particularly rare and fascinating.
These rays can possess energy levels greater than 10^18 electron volts (EeV),

A figure that is about a million times higher than the energy achievable by the most powerful human-made accelerators.
On May 27, 2021, this team made a groundbreaking discovery: they detected a particle with an energy level of 244 EeV.
When I first discovered this ultra-high-energy cosmic ray, I thought there must have been a mistake, as it showed an energy level unprecedented in the last 3 decades
