Scientists have discovered the highest-energy light ever detected from the sun, using the High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) observatory in Mexico. The light, known as gamma rays, was emitted during a powerful solar flare in 2017. The discovery could help us understand the mysterious mechanisms that accelerate particles in the sun and other cosmic sources. #sun #gamma #HAWC
