The Pierre Auger Observatory, the largest cosmic ray detector in the world, was built to study the cosmic rays with ????>10^17 eV with unprecedented statistics. Recently it has determined, with a 5.2???? significance, that the arrival directions of cosmic rays with energies above 8EeV are anisotropic and can be described by a dipole whose direction favors an extragalactic origin of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays. At an intermediate angular scale, the two largest departures from isotropy for the arrival directions of events with ????>39EeV and ????>60EeV are best described by a correlation with two nearby populations of extragalactic gamma-ray sources, namely starburst galaxies and AGNs. In the multi-messenger astronomy era, Auger is actively participating in neutrino searches in coincidence with gravitational wave events.
