Cosmic rays accelerated by exploded stars



Using ESO?s Very Large Telescope and NASA?s Chandra X-ray Observatory, astronomers have shown that cosmic rays from the Milky Way are very efficiently accelerated in the remnants of exploded stars.


Cosmic rays are extremely energetic particles ? mostly protons ? moving at close to the speed of light. They originate from outside our Solar System and are constantly bombarding the Earth?s atmosphere at a rate of some 100,000 per square metre per second.

Cosmic blobs are immense reservoirs of hydrogen gas located in the early Universe. Black holes and star formation have been observed in cosmic blobs. The glow of cosmic blobs in optical light had remained a mystery for the astronomers but with the help...

This illustration shows the ingredients of the most common type of gamma-ray burst. The core of a massive star (left) has collapsed, forming a black hole that sends a jet moving through the collapsing star and out into space at near the speed of light.NASA's...

- Time Travel- Third Possibility
Phi masons which are highly unstable particles decay pretty quickly, but when they are accelerated at the speed closer to light they lasts 30times longer, which means that time travel is possible if we can accelerate closer to light's speed lets...
