Extragalactic cosmic ray Extragalactic cosmic ray Extragalactic cosmic rays are very-high-energy particles that flow into the Solar System from beyond the Milky Way galaxy. The energies these particles possess are in excess of 10 eV. Unlike solar or galactic cosmic rays, little is known about the origins of extragalactic cosmic rays. This is largely due to a lack of statistics: only about 1 extragalactic cosmic ray particle per square meter per year reaches the Earth's surface (see figure). There are many ideas about which processes may be responsible for cosmic rays with such high energies. In the 'bottom-up' approach, cosmic rays gain more
From the Sea to the Land Beyond cello and a crescendo of drums and cymbals. The music ebbs and flows with the elements depicted in the film. The music is made up of reworked moments from the band's back catalogue, for example elements of the tracks "Carrion", "No Lucifer" and "The Great Skua", along with specially written material. The title of the film and the soundtrack is drawn from the song "The Land Beyond" from the album "Open Season". The film was launched with an interactive website, landbeyond.co.uk, allowing users to create a personalised video postcard. The website won the FOCAL International Award for Best Use of
