Gamma-ray telescopes locate high-energy trap in the middle of the Milky Way

July 18 (UPI) -- According to the latest observations from several large gamma-ray telescopes, the center of the Milky Way contains a high-energy trap, where cosmic rays are slowed by clouds of gas and dust."Our results suggest that most of the cosmic rays populating the innermost region of our galaxy, and especially the most energetic ones, are produced in active regions beyond the galactic center and later slowed there through interactions with gas clouds," Daniele Gaggero, an astronomer at the University of Amsterdam, said in a news release.Tracing the paths of cosmic rays is nearly impossible. But when they interact with matter, like a gas cloud in the middle of the Milky Way, the matter gets excited and emits gamma rays, which can be observed by NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope ...
