+In the beginning of the 20th century, various types of radiation were discovered.
+Dubbed ``Cosmic Rays'', one type was determined to come from beyond the atmosphere.

+Cosmic particles have been observed over a large range of energies.
+However, for increasing energies, their flux decreases dramatically (see Figure~\ref{fig:cr_flux}).
+To gather decent statistics at these highest energies on a practical timescale, observatories therefore have to span huge areas.
