TL;DR Summary

Astronomers have discovered 100 new supermassive black holes, nicknamed 'blazars,' that are shooting explosive jets of matter and radiation directly at Earth. These black holes are being used as a laboratory for extreme physics experiments to test theories of relativity, study how particles behave at high energies, and understand the evolution and formation of supermassive black holes and their jets. The team used machine learning and physical modeling to identify the low-energy peak of dim blazars, confirming the controversial 'blazar sequence' theory. The research has been accepted for publication in the Astrophysical Journal.
