"Checking all of my consoles..." (to quote Hatonn) upon returning from the desert, I find this interesting piece.
Probably already touched upon. I saw a number of hits here. However the article does present a good summary:
The source of these exotic electrons must be relatively close to the solar system—no more than a kiloparsec away," says co-author Jim Adams of the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center.
"Unfortunately," says Wefel, "we can't pinpoint the source in the sky."

Doesn't this idea of an invisible, local source of cosmic rays go against the notion
of an ancient and somewhat ubiquitous flux of cosmic rays?
