The first-ever photographed black hole emits an extraordinary gamma-ray flare, billions of times more energetic than visible light.
In 2019, the world was mesmerized by the first-ever image of a black hole , courtesy of the Event Horizon Telescope .
This recent burst of high-energy radiation surpassed typical levels detected by radio telescopes in the region surrounding the black hole and lasted around three days. In the case of M87’s flare, the gamma rays reached energy levels of several teraelectronvolts, an immense measure of energy generally reserved for subatomic particles.
This chaotic process can lead to sudden energy bursts, known as flares, but the challenge remains that gamma rays cannot reach Earth’s surface.
