Sun Goddess Particle

High-energy ‘sun goddess’ particle ‘from nowhere’ collides into Earth.

Amaterasu

It is one of the most powerful cosmic rays slamming into Earth and has been named Amaterasu after the Japanese sun goddess.
These ultra-high energy particle passes atmosphere smoothly without any deflection by magnetic fields.
Spotted by - Telescope Array observatory in Utah, a collaboration of the United States, Japan, Korea, Russia, and Belgium to observe cosmic rays.
Energy - It exceeds 240 exa-electron volts (EeV), millions of times more powerful than the particles produced by the Large Hadron Collider, which is the most powerful accelerator ever built.
It is 2nd only to the ‘Oh-My-God’ particle, another high-energy cosmic ray at 320 EeV that was detected in 1991.
Amaterasu have emerged from the Local Void, an empty area of space bordering the Milky Way galaxy.

Oh My God Particle

The Oh-My-God particle detected over Utah in 1991 was probably a proton traveling at 0.999 (and add another 20 x 9s after that) of the speed of light.
Its kinetic energy was estimated at 3 x 1020 electron volts (eV) and it would have had the collision energy of 7.5 x 1014 eV when it hit an atmospheric particle.
This is still about 50 times the collision energy we expect the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will be able to generate at full power.

God Particle

It is also known as Higgs Boson Particles.
The Higgs boson is the fundamental particle associated with the Higgs field, a field that gives mass to other fundamental particles such as electrons and quarks.
Mass - The Higgs boson has a mass of 125 billion electron volts?— meaning it is 130 times more massive than a proton.
Charge - The Higgs boson is also charge less.
Zero spin?- Higgs boson, has an intrinsic angular momentum, or spin, of 0.
The Higgs Boson is the only elementary particle with no spin.

Cosmic Rays

Cosmic rays are sub-atomic particles, being mainly protons (hydrogen nuclei) and occasionally helium or heavier atomic nuclei and very occasionally electrons.
Cosmic ray particles are very energetic as a result of them having a substantial velocity and hence a substantial momentum.
