Richard Lee hinted at them when he founded the school, by creating a seal, or, more accurately, remodeling one — Harvard’s, actually, the Latin VERITAS replaced by CANNABIS and the oak clusters swapped for marijuana leaves.

I would have nothing to do with that kind of a forum -- even if the sponsoring institution made a rather large song and dance about "VERITAS" in the logo.

VERITAS has found new evidence for cosmic rays in the "Cigar Galaxy," also known as Messier 82 M82, which is located 12 million light-years from Earth in the direction of the constellation Ursa Major, which strongly support the long-held theory that supernovae and stellar winds from massive stars are the dominant accelerators of cosmic-ray particles.

This representative-color figure shows the very-high-energy gamma-ray emission observed by VERITAS coming from the Cigar Galaxy, also known as Messier 82.

"This discovery provides fundamental insight into the origin of cosmic rays," said Rene Ong, a professor of physics at the University of California, Los Angeles, and the spokesperson for the VERITAS collaboration.

Instead, VERITAS looked for clues to the presence of cosmic rays: gamma rays.

VERITAS could not detect M82's cosmic rays directly because they are trapped within the Cigar Galaxy.

The VERITAS discovery confirms that expectation, indicating that the cosmic-ray density in M82 is approximately 500 times the average density in our Galaxy, the Milky Way.

VERITAS is operated by a collaboration of more than 100 scientists from 22 different institutions in the United States, Ireland, England and Canada.
