It was a major project of the former Soviet Union. The brothers Alikhanian founded 1943 The Cosmic Ray Division on Mt Aragaz in Armenia of 3,500 meters above sea level. Over hundreds of men worked out, news from space to learn. They studied and researched messengers from outer space, cosmic rays, on their way through space in numerous small explosions particles released until they penetrate into the Earth's atmosphere and trigger a chain reaction.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union from Moscow, there was no more money and now independent Republic of Armenia had other economic concerns as the former Soviet Union continue to fund the project. A few persistent Armenian researchers, however, wait until today at the Aragaz from. As in a distant space capsule, they continued their work and hope for a sensation: the discovery of new worlds star. But until now, their research results in recognized scientific publications. The man asks, and the world is no answer. Or maybe?
