A source of extremely high-energy particles in the Milky Way identified

A Hiroshima University-led team identified a source of extremely high-energy particles in the Milky Way. Researchers used data from three observatories to find the object, known as LHAASO J1912+1014u. "The highest energy of galactic cosmic rays can reach and exceed 1 quadrillion electron volts," said author Tsunefumi Mizuno about the discovery.
