Abstract:
Knowledge about cosmic rays above 10^19 eV has greatly improved through
the successful operation of the Auger Observatory in Argentina where
more events above 10^18 eV have now been recorded than from the sum of
all previous efforts. I will outline the reasons for interest in this
field, describe the Observatory and review our latest results on the
mass composition, the energy spectrum and the anisotropy of what are the
highest energy particles in Nature.
