Observations made with the gamma ray observatory H.E.S.S. in Namibia show for the first time the course of an acceleration process in a stellar process called a nova, which comprises powerful eruptions on the surface of a white dwarf. A nova creates a shock wave that tears through the surrounding medium, pulling particles with it and accelerating them to extreme energies. Surprisingly, the nova &#8216;RS Ophiuchi&#8217; seems to cause particles to accelerate at speeds reaching the theoretical limit, corresponding to ideal conditions.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2022\/03\/220310143755.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Cosmic particle accelerator at its limit<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ScienceDaily&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the help of special telescopes, researchers have observed a cosmic particle accelerator as never before.
