The objective of this work is to develop a method for detecting rare gamma quanta against the background of charged particles in the fluxes from sources in the Universe with the help of the deep learning and normalizing flows based method designed for anomaly detection. It is shown that the suggested method has a potential for the gamma detection. The method was tested on model data from the TAIGA-IACT experiment. The obtained quantitative performance indicators are still inferior to other approaches, and therefore possible ways to improve the implementation of the method are proposed.

The KM3NeT Collaboration is installing the ARCA and ORCA neutrino detectors at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea. The focus of ARCA is neutrino astronomy, while ORCA is optimised for neutrino oscillation studies. Both detectors are already operational in their intermediate states and collect valuable data, including the measurements of the muons produced by cosmic ray interactions in the atmosphere. This work explores the potential of machine learning models for the reconstruction of muon bundles, which are multi-muon events. For this, data collected with intermediate detector configurations of ARCA and ORCA was used in addition to simulated data from the envisaged final configurations of those detectors. Prediction of the total number of muons in a bundle as well as their total energy and even the energy of the primary cosmic ray is presented.

After more than a decade of searching, the IceCube neutrino detector in Antarctica has finally found high-energy particles from within the Milky Way. This discovery opens a window into how cosmic rays shape the universe. The disc of the Milky Way is incredibly bright in every wavelength of light – particularly in gamma rays, which tend to be accompanied by neutrinos. But any neutrinos from within our galaxy have historically been overwhelmed by stronger signals from other galaxies, so we haven't been able to observe them. "It took us 10 years to find the galactic plane in neutrinos," says IceCube head Francis Halzen at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Are we here to re-create ourselves as robotic humanoids? In a recent podcast, Robert J. Marks discusses what robots can do for us with retired internist and author Geoffrey Simmons. In his most recent book, Are We Here to Re-Create Ourselves?: The Convergence of Designs (2019), Simmons argues that in creating artificially intelligent robots, we are trying to recreate the human being. But can we really recreate everything about ourselves? For example, they discussed, can robots be counselors? Should robots go into space instead of humans?

I really love the Earth's atmosphere. Air to breathe, rain from clouds, clouds that look like bunny rabbits…and an umbrella of atoms and molecules that shelters the surface from a withering onslaught of high energy particles – AKA cosmic rays, usually the nuclei of hydrogen atoms (protons) traveling at very high speeds – coming from space. The density (flux) of these particles is low, but some of them pack quite a wallop: their energy is measured in electronvolts (eV), and although the average cosmic ray has an energy of about 3 x 10 9 eV, some have energies on the order of 10 20 eV, which is about 40 million times more energy than we can create at the Large Hadron Collider! The good news is that our atmosphere is great at shielding the surface of our planet from cosmic rays – it works as well as four meters of solid concrete. But if we travel outside the atmosphere, our umbrella is gone, and we now have a problem.

If our eyes could see high-energy radiation called gamma rays the moon would appear brighter than the sun, experts have revealed. NASA's Fermi telescope has been studying our neighbour in space for the past decade, examining bursts of particles caused by the impact of cosmic rays. These fast moving particles, which originate outside our solar system, impact on the surface of the moon regularly as our natural satellite has no magnetic shield. Now, the space agency has release images and animated footage of the gamma rays that are produced when these cosmic rays hit the moon.

In classic comic form, the Fantastic Four of Data Science Project Preparation were originally introduced via cameo in the Data Avengers... Assemble! So if you happen to have that post, hang on to it. It will undoubtedly be worth something some day. In Marvel comics, the Fantastic Four are a 4 person collective, the members of which gained superpowers when exposed to cosmic rays while on a space flight. Reed Richards aka Mr. Fantastic can stretch, reshape, and contort his body in inhuman ways, and is the group leader.

The Great Pyramid of Giza has been shrouded in mystery for millennia, but now a long-held secret of its structure might be known thanks to particle physics. A narrow void lying deep within the ancient Wonder of the World has been found by scientists using cosmic-ray based imaging. The internal structure is located above the Grand Gallery - which links two of the Pyramid's chambers - and traces a similar route for at least 30 metres (100ft). While the precise design and purpose of the void is unknown, it has been hailed by the team of academics as the biggest discovery inside the Giza landmark since the 19th century.

The Japanese art of paper folding could provide the inspiration for a new generation of shielding against space radiation. Nasa is hoping to crowd source designs for a system that could be used to protect astronauts on deep space missions from lethal cosmic rays. The competition could lead to a breakthrough that enables the space agency to successfully realise its ambitious plans for a manned mission to Mars by 2030.

MIAMI – NASA succeeds in its historic spacewalk on Friday, although it all began with a micro-gravity curveball. International Space Station Commander Peggy Whitson and Flight Engineer Jack Fischer floated in space and into the record books after the two astronauts made the 200th spacewalk in support of the orbiting laboratory. But as the astronauts were suited up and preparing to go into the de-pressurization airlock, they noticed a water leak at the connection point of Fischer's spacesuit and the station's cooling and power system "umbilical cord." That delayed things for a couple hours. But since Fischer's spacesuit was unaffected and fine, the historic spacewalk went on, although it had to be shortened from six hours to four.
