NASA shock: Huge cosmic SUPERBUBBLES in faraway martian galaxy ‘BOMBARDING’ Earth

“New observations from Chandra show that in NGC 3079 a cosmic particle accelerator is producing ultra-energetic particles in the rims of the superbubbles.

“These particles can be much more energetic than the created by the world’s most powerful accelerators, like the Large Hadron Collider.

“The superbubbles in NGC 3079 provide evidence that they and structures like them may be the source of extremely energetic cosmic rays, which are not rays but are high energy particles that regularly bombard the Earth.”

NASA wrote: “These particles can be much more energetic than those created by Europe’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s most powerful human-made particle accelerator.

“Scientists think charged particles scatter or bounce off tangled magnetic fields in these shock waves, much like balls rebounding off bumpers in a pinball machine.

“When the particles cross the shock front they are accelerated as if they received a kick from a pinball machine’s flipper.

“These energetic particles can escape and some may eventually strike the Earth’s atmosphere in the form of cosmic rays.”
