Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer reveals four cosmic ray classes across 20 elements, defying current models

The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02), located on the International Space Station, has identified four distinct classes of cosmic rays composed of 20 different elements. This discovery challenges existing scientific models and provides new insights into the origins and distribution of elements in the universe. Cosmic rays originate from supernova explosions, which scatter elements like carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, chlorine, potassium, argon, and calcium across space. These particles take millions of years to reach Earth and offer valuable information about stellar processes and the
