Ghost Particle from Space

February 9, 2026 - A very small thing hit Earth. Scientists are very excited!

What happened?

In 2023, something from space hit Earth. It was a particle. A particle is very, very small. You cannot see it.

This particle is called a “neutrino.” Scientists call it a “ghost particle.” Why? Because it can go through everything!

Why is it special?

This neutrino was very strong. It was 100 times stronger than any before!

Scientists found it in the sea. They have a big machine under the water.

Where did it come from?

Scientists think it came from a black hole. A black hole is very far away. It is in space.

The black hole may have exploded. When it exploded, it sent this particle to Earth.

What next?

Scientists want to learn more. They are looking for more particles.

This can help us understand space better.
