Cosmic rays traced to centers of star birth. Researchers have detected gamma rays from the galaxy M82 (a false-color image shows a very-high-energy gamma-ray emission). The gamma rays are evidence that regions of star formation (shown here as a black star) in galaxies such as M82 are sources of cosmic rays with energies of up to quadrillions of electron volts.Credit: V.A.
