Scientists expected a black hole but found a neutrino factory powered by stars
SMRTR summary
Astronomers expected a supermassive black hole to be powering a distant, dust-hidden galaxy called "Shadow Blaster," but ALMA telescope observations revealed something surprising — intense star formation is the real energy source. Using natural gravitational lensing to peer deep inside, researchers found a dense, gas-packed core capable of producing high-energy neutrinos. These star-forming galaxies could account for up to 20% of the Universe's mysterious high-energy neutrinos.
