Scientists uncover clues about the sun goddess particle origins and where it was hiding in space

Scientists are probing the origins of the mysterious “sun goddess” particle, Amaterasu, among the strongest ever detected. Early reports suggested it emerged from a seemingly empty patch of space, but new analysis points to a more active source. Researchers now flag Messier 82, a galaxy famous for intense star formation, as a leading candidate.
