Turns out, the aftermath of exploding stars (supernovae) might be hiding the universe’s most powerful particle accelerators—way stronger than the LHC! Scientists ran simulations showing that when a star explodes into a dense shell of material, it can launch cosmic rays with mind-blowing energy, 100x more than what we can do on Earth. The catch? We need a recent, nearby supernova to actually catch these rays. Still, it’s wild to think the universe is out there flexing on our biggest machines! #SpaceMystery #Supernova #CosmicRays #Science
