Abstract

The origin of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays continues to challenge our imagination. Observations have answered previous open questions, such as the existence of a feature in the spectrum at the highest energies, but the arrival direction distribution and the composition indicators continue to challenge our models. I will briefly review these challenges. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
