Scientists explain how a 300 TeV photon reached Earth
Original: Scientists explain how a 300 TeV photon could reach Earth
Physicists have outlined how an extremely high-energy photon, carrying around 300 teraelectronvolts, could have travelled to Earth, a finding reported by Physics World. Photons at this energy are rarely detected, and explaining their survival across cosmic distances touches on open questions about particle acceleration in space and interactions with background radiation. Researchers say the result offers clues about the most violent processes in the universe.
Why now: The extraordinary energy of the detected photon and its implications for cosmic physics make it striking news.
