Another feature that you can see in #ESAEuclid's first images: What are these? Satellite streaks 🛰️? Asteroids ☄️? Superwoman (or Superman) 🦸🏽 ?
No, much smaller: these are traces by #CosmicRays ⚡, hitting #Euclid's #VIS and #NISP detectors directly, depositing energy and electric charges in their pixels.

Floating through unknown waters divine
A cosmic ray navigation system so fine
Sending robots through dark seas
Setting them free
Unforgettable journeys in our time

A spectral hardening is found in the flux of primary #CosmicRays at ~300 GV of rigidity (energy). There are various hypothesis for its origin: something happening in the cosmic-ray sources? Something happening during their propagation?

#PaperDay: I made a review on the "Direct Measurements of Galactic Cosmic Rays".
My review is focused is on the recent progress in #CosmicRays in the 3rd millennium.
How it is started? How it's going? So little time, so much to do...
