Analysis of Neutrino That Crashed Into Antarctica Sheds Light on Origin of Cosmic Rays
In a new study, published in Science, researchers have detected a cosmic ray offshoot called a neutrino or ghost particles. These parties are considered so evasive that they interact with anything but as they travel, they don't come in contact with the atoms. Neutrinos are like small particles messengers that have spawned a new field of astronomy c...

NASA Probe Spots Hints of Gamma-Ray Cycle in 'Active' Galaxy
Astronomers using data from NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope have detected hints of periodic changes in the brightness of a so-called "active" galaxy, whose emissions are powered by a supersized black hole.
