    (240227) -- BEIJING, Feb. 27, 2024 (Xinhua) -- This composite photo taken on April 21, 2023 shows the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) at an altitude of 4,410 meters on Mount Haizi in Daocheng County, southwest China's Sichuan Province. China's cosmic ray observatory has discovered a giant ultra-high-energy gamma-ray bubble structure, about ten million times larger than our solar system, in the Cygnus star-forming region, around 5,000 light years from Earth. Based on the observations made by China's LHAASO, scientists identified that star-forming region as one source of the cosmic rays in the Milky Way with an energy level higher than 10 peta-electron volts (quadrillion electron volts or PeV), about 1,000 times more than the record high achieved by any manmade accelerator on Earth.

China's Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO), a high-altitude cosmic ray observatory, has released the precise energy spectrum for the highest-energy gamma-ray radiation from the brightest gamma-ray burst (GRB) observed to date. The study, conducted by the LHAASO collaboration team, was led by the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the findings were published recently in the journal Science Advances.

An 18-member expedition team successfully reached on Sunday the summit of Mount Cho Oyu, also known as Mt. Qowowuyag, which soars to 8,201 meters above sea level, to carry out scientific research. It was the first time Chinese scientists scaled a peak exceeding 8,000 meters in altitude apart from Mt. Qomolangma, the world's highest summit. (Xinhua/Jigme Dorje)
