The Pierre Auger Observatory uses 1,660 water tanks across Argentina to detect cosmic rays. These tanks detect faint light produced by particles from atmospheric air showers. Solar-powered stations and fluorescence telescopes work together to study these events. This hybrid system allows scientists to measure cosmic ray energies and directions. The observatory investigates particles with extraordinary energies from the universe.
