Milky Way's first microblazar found with 100 light-year jet

Astronomers have identified the Milky Way's first microblazar, IRAS 18293−0941, a binary system with a black hole approximately 10 times more massive than our Sun. Its jet extends 100 light-years and creates particles with energies 100 times greater than the Large Hadron Collider. The discovery helps explain cosmic ray origins and the physics of distant blazars.

None of the individual telescopes could have told the entire story. It's a great showcase of international teamwork.
