VERITAS (Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System)

VERITAS (Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System) is a scientific project designed to study cosmic rays and high-energy gamma rays from astronomical sources, such as supernovae and black holes. Located in Arizona, it consists of a series of large telescopes that detect flashes of light produced when gamma rays interact with the Earth's atmosphere. By analyzing these light signals, VERITAS helps researchers understand extreme cosmic phenomena and the fundamental processes of the universe, contributing to our knowledge of astrophysics and the origins of cosmic rays.
