Since the dawn of time, people have looked at the sky in amazement of the dots that light up the sky. People have used the sky to gather countless amounts of information, such as time, positioning, and even seasonal and weather changes. As time has progressed, we have developed stronger devices for measuring and collecting data about galactic phenomenons. New ways to measure distant stars and galaxies, and even predict when we will be affected by certain extraterrestrial events have been developed and employed. . It has got to the point where we are able to determine what the atmosphere of distant planets are composed of. Yet, recently we detected a phenomenon that we can’t find out where it came from or what caused it. This is what scientists are calling cosmic rays made up of extremely strong particles known as the “Oh-My-God Particles” and the “Amaterasu Particles”.
These two particles were discovered on two different occasions many years apart from each other. The Oh-My-God Particle was discovered in 1991 while the Amaterasu Particle was discovered in late May of 2021. Recently, another phenomenon occurred where a cosmic ray of Amaterasu particles hit Earth. This encounter didn’t cause any damage, but this ray had higher levels of energy than anything we’ve ever recorded. From data recorded over the years, scientists have determined that cosmic rays are caused by violent celestial events. These particles were at such high energy levels that the galactic and extragalactic magnetic field that would normally alter the particle’s path would have no effect on it. This means that the particle would travel in a straight line, so you would be able to point at it just looking at the sky.
After the particles hit, they used the collected data to find the direction the particles came from. When they looked at the direction the particle originated from, they noticed that there was nothing there. This baffled scientists because not only do they not have anything recorded that would be strong enough to produce these particles
, this one appeared to come from an empty void in space. This is confusing professionals so much that they are starting to try and use ideas produced by people with no knowledge of the event to explain what’s happening. These particles coming out of the void of space could be a sign of something that is way stronger than anything we have ever recorded. This Mysterious source will take years to find, and once found it will be important to assess the danger of this mysterious celestial entity. Until we find it we will continue studying these strange phenomenons and working to improve our capabilities of finding and locating them. Hopefully, we discover what is the source of these phenomenons in the near future.
