When my colleagues and I set to work on a century-old cosmic mystery, we found an unexpected celestial laboratory in Terzan a dense star cluster currently plunging through our galaxy at breakneck speed. This stellar oddity has allowed us to study the behaviour of cosmic rays - high-energy particles whose erratic paths through space have baffled astronomers since their discovery in 1912.
