Purple range wrong?[edit]

The description says that the purple range would be extragalactic cosmic rays. However, the transition from Galactic to extragalactic cosmic rays happens at a much higher energy, presumably between 10^17 and a few 10^18 eV.

So two corrections are needed: a) the range needs to start at a higher energy; b) the color transition should be such that it reflects a smooth transition somewhere between 10^17 and a few 10^18 eV instead of a sharp cut. FrankSchroeder (talk) 13:18, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
