Black Hole Capture Interrupted by Cosmic Explosion
Astronomers using the Event Horizon Telescope captured a rare gamma-ray flare from the supermassive black hole in galaxy M87, marking the first such event observed in over a decade. This flare, linked to the black hole's astrophysical jets, provides new insights into the complex structure and behavior of these jets, although the exact source and cause of the gamma-ray emission remain a mystery. The findings, published in Astronomy & Astrophysics, offer valuable data for future research on particle acceleration in black hole jets.
