Huge black hole on fire, emits gamma rays billions times stronger than visible light
SMRTR summary
A supermassive black hole in galaxy M87 emitted an intense gamma-ray flare, producing photons hundreds of billions of times more powerful than visible light. This rare event, lasting about three days, helps scientists understand how particles achieve extreme energies near black holes and offers insights into the relationship between the event horizon and jet formation.
