About once a century on any given square kilometer of Earth, a cosmic rayhits with mind-boggling intensity. The teeny tiny subatomic particle from space comes careening in with more than 10 million times the energy of particles shot out by the LHC. Where do these ultrahigh energy cosmic rays come from Astronomers havea plan to find out, using the moon and a massive new radio telescope array. The array, which is in development now, is so massive that doesn ;t fit on one continent. Spread out over thousands of miles across A

That because upon impact, cosmic rays generate a cascade of secondary particles, which can be seen as nanosecond burst of radio waves. By analyzing these radio waves, we might figure out where the rays are coming from. There is a catch, of course, which explains why the moon isn ;t already a cosmic ray detector. The Physi
