A cosmic gamma ray detected zipping across the Milky Way has broken the record for the most energetic we’ve found yet, clocking in at a whopping 957 trillion electronvolts (teraelectronvolts, or TeV).
This not only more than doubles the previous record, it brings us close to the range of petaelectronvolts (that’s a quadrillion electronvolts) – finally confirming the existence of cosmic superaccelerators that can boost photons to these energies in the Milky Way.
Such a superaccelerator is called…
