I read recently about the discovery of a particle with a 50eV charge

50 eV is an energy, not a charge, and not much energy to boot.
Might be good to recheck the reading to find out what it really said.

hitting the earth's atomsphere. Can anyone provide a link to where this
is being studied. If such particles come from quasars or supernovas,
how are they able to retain so much of their energy?

Why would they lose energy? Things generally don't lose energy unless
something else acts to take it away -- e.g. friction.

And if they lose
energy are there any reasonable assumptions as to how much charge they
originally possessed.

I gave an arbitrary figure for the eV. 1TeV would have been excessive.
These particles must come into contact with other celestial
bodies\particles where there will be loses in energy. Google searches
have prove fruitless on this topic.

OK, let me see if I have this right. You don't remember what you read,
so you made up a number rather than looking it up. You don't know
whether eV measures charge or energy. You assume that everything MUST
encounter celestial particles and lose energy in that process. Have you
considered reading something other than the internet?

If you can't answer the question why not ignore my post, simple!

That's why I responded to your post, to clarify your question. When I
found out that you had no idea what you were asking, I pointed that
out.

This is actually what I was looking for. There is even a principle
backing what I wrote in my original post. Link
