The Case of the Extremely Energetic Gamma Rays: an LS I +61 303 Mystery
In today’s bite, the LHAASO collaboration tackle a gamma ray mystery in the LS I +61 303 system, investigating just who (or what) might be responsible.
Looking at Ultrahigh-Energy Cosmic Rays From Many Angles (Specifically, 0 ≤ θ ≤ 80° and -90° ≤ δ ≤ 44.8°)
If you have a cosmic mystery on your hands, surely it helps to examine it from as many angles as possible? Today’s authors do that, literally, while investigating the highest-energy particles in the universe.
Tracing Large Scale Structure with 270 Million Galaxies
Today’s PRJ letter presents the largest mass map to date, highlighting large scale structure in the Universe!
Attack of the Planet-Killer Dark Matter
Today’s bite explores exoplanets’ newest predator: dark matter. Black holes made up of dark matter may be lying at the hearts of planets…and eating them from the inside out.
When space plasmas collide!!
In today’s paper, our authors model what shenanigans will occur (or not?) when we slam two plasmas together!
Can’t we just take a picture of an exoplanet?
If we want to know about the conditions for life on an Earth-like exoplanet, can’t we just take a picture of it? One where we can see continents, clouds and potential biospheres?
The short answer is we can’t. The long answer as to why not is found in today’s bite.
