Scientists have detected an extremely powerful particle with ultra-high energy.
They believe particle to have travelled to Earth from beyond the Milky Way galaxy.
The particle has been named the "sun goddess" (Amaterasu in Japanese) particle and is extraordinary.
The outlet said that the particle has an energy level one million times greater than what can be generated in most powerful particle accelerators.
It rivals the single most energetic cosmic ray ever observed, the "Oh-My-God" particle that was detected in 1991.
It is common for Earth to receive low-energy cosmic ray, but those with extremely high energy come rarely.
High energy particles are thought to travel to Earth from other galaxies and sources beyond our Milky Way.
The current particle appears to have originated from a dark region of our galaxy.
Such energy level has not been seen in 30 years.
