Abstract
Although the photon structure is most efficiently studied at accelerators, there is also a scientifically complementary potential in investigations on photons produced in the outer space. This potential is already being explored with γ-ray telescopes, ultra-high energy cosmic ray observatories and, since very recently, by the Cosmic-Ray Extremely Distributed Observatory (CREDO). Unlike the former instruments focused on detection of single γ, CREDO aims at the detection of cascades (ensembles) of photons originating even at astrophysical distances. If at least a part of such a cascade reaches Earth, it might produce a unique pattern composed of a number of air showers observable by an appropriately dense array of standard detectors. If the energies of air showers constituting the pattern are relatively low and if the typical distances between neighbors are large, the ensemble character of the whole phenomenon might remain uncovered, unless the CREDO strategy is implemented.
