TL;DR Summary

The microquasar SS 433, located in the Milky Way, has been found to emit very high energy gamma rays from its jets, challenging existing theories and shedding light on the mechanisms driving relativistic jets. The detection of gamma rays from SS 433's jets has provided insights into the acceleration of particles within the jets, with the H.E.S.S. observatory pinpointing the exact location of one of the galaxy's most effective particle accelerators. This groundbreaking discovery offers valuable information about the dynamics of relativistic jets and has the potential to enhance our understanding of cosmic phenomena.
