Cosmic Ray Hotspots Located



Researchers working from seven years worth of results from the Los Alamos’ Milagro cosmic-ray observatory have found that the two spots (marked in red above), have been sending us more cosmic rays than would be expected statistically.

Interestingly, these hotspots, located near the constellations of Gemini and Taurus, are very close to Orion - a place well-known to alternative Egyptologists.

The two possibilites presented are:

a) something in that area that we don't presently understand is emitting the cosmic rays

b) something we have not yet discovered is acting like a gravitational lens, making the rays appear to come from those spots

Either way, hopefully in the next 4 years the experts will work out what is going on.
