Bright light from black holes found to be caused by particle shock waves
Scientists have reported a"huge leap forward" in the understanding of light and other electromagnetic radiation emitted by black holes using NASA's newly deployed $188m space telescope IXPE.
Advances in radio-astronomy and X-ray-observing satellites have helped scientists understand that the anomalous radiation is caused by a stream of charged particles accelerated close to the speed of light. If it points at Earth, the generating quasar can be called a blazar. Electromagnetic radiation from them can be observed from radio waves through the visible spectrum to very high-frequency gamma rays.
