'Ultra-High-Energy Gamma-Ray Bubble' A Micro-Quasar Spotted with Its Jets Pointing Towards Earth

Astronomers long believed that high-energy electromagnetic radiation mainly originated from jets in distant galaxies. However, new data from the HAWC observatory reveals that similar jets from objects within our own galaxy, specifically microquasars, also produce gamma photons of extremely high energy. This discovery significantly reshapes our understanding of cosmic radiation sources.

Microquasars, compact binary systems within the Milky Way, feature a black hole and a massive star, both emitting powerful jets. These jets have now been shown to generate photons with energies far beyond what was previously observed, challenging prior assumptions that only distant quasars could achieve such energetic emissions.

The latest findings, particularly from the microquasar V4641 Sagittarii, reveal photons carrying up to 200 teraelectronvolts of energy, making this a groundbreaking discovery. Scientists believe this will revolutionize our understanding of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays and how they are formed, offering a new perspective on the processes taking place in our galactic "backyard."

The micro-quasar segment was good, but the primordial black hole segment had a lot of errors, for example they cannot by the source of waves seen by LIGO,

how can we know that if a primordial black hole would hit a human it would only push him away? with all this new theories it seems we have no clue about what's really going one.

There was a super weapon in the corellian star system in star wars, it could target a planet all the way across the galaxy.

holy fkn wall of ads to get through just to watch >:[

Could this mean one of these primordial black holes already be inside Sol or another planet?
