Dwarf Mini Smart Telescope

Scientists are hunting for PeVatrons, the most powerful objects in the Universe. Join the adventure with Alex and discover more from DwarfLab at: https://bit.ly/3ObkGXK.

These particles move so fast, they would need a QUADRILLION electron volts of energy to produce them. What in the Universe could be this powerful? ▀▀▀▀▀▀ 0:00 Cosmic Rays 4:20 Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory 9:03 PeVatrons 11:30 Supernova Remnants 13:56 Pulsars 15:40 Black Holes 17:23 Crab Nebula 19:59 Cygnus OB2 21:28 Cygnus X-3 23:23 Hunting PeVatrons ▀▀▀▀▀▀ To stay on top of space news, sign up to the Astrum newsletter: https://astrumspace.kit.com Astrum Displate Posters: https://displate.com/artist/astrumspace?art=5f04759ac338b Astrum Merch: https://astrum-shop.fourthwall.com/ Join us on the Astrum discord: https://discord.gg/TKw8Hpvtv8 A huge thanks to our Patreons who help make these videos possible.
