Not cosmic or dark.
The Large Hadron Collider is an example of a ______ accelerator, which is the same word you’re looking for.

Correct!
I don’t think I’d ever heard of it until I looked it up for this question.

Yay!
I heard about the horizon part but not the particle part.
Next question: what is the hottest temp recorded on Mars?
(+/- 5 °C)

You'd think it'd be pretty nippy on Mars, but I wonder if this is a trick question and there has been a really hot temperature measured on a probe entering the atmosphere, so I'll stab at 400C.

It's really a 'normal' max temp. Not a trick question from some freak event or anything.
And I should specify ambient surface temp.

Correct!
Here are the low - average - high temps °C for both:
Earth: -90 14 60
Mars: -140 -63 30
Also worth mentioning that because of the much thinner and drier atmosphere 30 degrees on Mars would feel warmer than 30 on earth.

not stockholm. stockholm university is the fourth oldest in sweden, having been granted university status in 1960.
