High energy particle discovered hitting earth

Tracing its trajectory backwards points towards empty space. Similarly, the Oh-My-God particle had no discernible source. Scientists suggest this could indicate a much larger magnetic deflection than predicted, an unidentified source in the Local Void, or an incomplete understanding of high-energy particle physics.

Does the particle travel at the speed of light?

If it's slower then we are not seeing things as they were when the particle was emmited.

And so what??

Particles cannot travel at the speed of light. The only particle that can trave very close to the speed of light is the neutrino. But yet its speed is less than the speed of light.
