The LHAASO observatory studied gamma-ray emission from supernova remnant IC 443 and found that particles there are accelerated to record energies with no signs of slowing down. This is direct confirmation: it's star explosions that produce the most energetic cosmic rays bombarding Earth.

A rapidly spinning black hole twists the space around it. In this swirl, stable whirlpools can form from ultralight particles — likely components of dark matter. These vortices live long, not falling into the hole, and their motion reveals how strongly space is curved. The discovery refines the natu

Usually, cosmic rays arrive evenly from all directions, but when the Sun ejects a magnetic cloud, their paths bend. On November 4, 2021, the LHAASO observatory caught a temporary lopsidedness, offering the first-ever glimpse of invisible magnetic structures in interplanetary space.

A single equation covers both billiards and quanta: the parameter κ acts like a speed knob, switching reality between two modes.
