Interesting facts about this location

Pierre Auger Observatory

The Pierre Auger Observatory is an international cosmic ray observatory designed to detect ultra-high-energy cosmic rays: single sub-atomic particles with energies beyond 10 eV (about the energy of a tennis ball traveling at 80 km/h). These high energy particles have an estimated arrival rate of just 1 per km per century, therefore the Auger Observatory has created a detection area the size of Rhode Island — over 3,000 km — in order to record a large number of these events.
