SUMMARY:Cosmic rays\, astrophysics and astrobiology\, NPAC (Nuclear/Pa
 rticle/Astro/Cosmo) Forum\, Noemie Globus\, ELI Beamlines\, Czech Repu
 blic / Flatiron Institute\, USA
DESCRIPTION:I will discuss some recent cosmic rays puzzles in the cont
 ext of high energy astrophysics and astrobiology and hence this talk w
 ill be divided into two parts. In the first part\, I will review brief
 ly the observational status of the ultra high energy\, extragalactic p
 art of the cosmic-ray spectrum and the interpretation of the “dipole
 ” anisotropy\, the first anisotropy signal to pass the 5 sigma disco
 very threshold\, and review the possible extragalactic sources yet to 
 be discovered with future multi-messenger efforts. In the second part 
 of my talk\, I will present the connection between Galactic cosmic-ray
 s and astrobiology and discuss the possible role of spin-polarized muo
 ns in the emergence of life - more specifically\, in the emergence of 
 biological homochirality - and show the implications for the search of
  life in other worlds.
