"Photons from hell" are generated also in our Galaxy
Photons from extremely high-energy gamma radiation were not only generated 'a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away', they are also created in microquasars in our Milky Way, shows research co-authored by scientists from the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Could a revolution in the study of ultra-energetic cosmic radiation be brewing?
