When these gamma rays reach the Earth's atmosphere they are absorbed, producing a short - lived shower of secondary particles that emit weak flashes of bluish light known as Cherenkov radiation, lasting just a few billionths of a second.

Researchers tried to pin the gamma rays on some object they already knew — something that emitted X-rays, radio waves, or visible light — but for a long time they failed.

This is quite different than the light emitted from a flashlight — the rays are neither parallel nor in phase with each other.

He finds that most cosmic rays come from well - known objects that produce other forms of radiation, too — black holes emit X-rays, for instance, and supernovas glow with visible light.

This area also is expected to be one of the best places to search for gamma - ray signals from dark matter, an elusive substance that neither emits nor absorbs visible light.

The EUSO telescope, which will be used to find debris, was originally planned to detect ultraviolet light emitted from air showers produced by ultra-high energy cosmic rays entering the atmosphere at night.

The First X-Ray, by Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen (1895) Physicist Röntgen stumbled across a novel property of cathode rays, which is that they appeared to emit a light (electrons) that could be picked up by a photographic plate.

It covers an area of 3000 square kilometers with approximately 1600 surface detector stations which detect cosmic ray shower particles directly, as well as four fluorescence detectors which overlook the atmosphere above the surface array and detect fluorescence light emitted by shower particles.

An even more interesting possibility, however, is that x-ray flashers come from explosions in even more distant regions of the universe, where cosmic expansion since the Big Bang would have shifted emitted gamma rays into the x-ray range and intergalactic gas blocks visible afterglow, as none of these x-ray flashes have been observed to have a detectable, visible - light afterglow.

Although black holes can, in theory, have masses as low as calculated for the merging objects, the coincident gamma - ray burst suggested that the stars had to have been made of matter — and matter, unlike black holes, emits light.
