Description

The two observatories with largest effective areas in the world, Pierre
Auger and Telescope Array have been contiuosly operating for more than
20 years gathering an impressive statistics on cosmic rays with energies
up to above 10^20 eV. I will review the major achievements from these
two Observatoires, with a focus on the similitude between their measurements, in the same time highlighting the diversity of the science cases of ultra-high energy cosmic rays. While several measurements, like
the suppression of the cosmic rays flux at the highest energies or the
anisotropic dipolar pattern in the arrival direction, have reached more
than five sigma evidence, a few of the measurements are expected to
reach a similar level in next years.
