Giant, Cosmic 'Eye of Sauron' Snapped Staring Directly at Us in Stunning 15-Year Time-Lapse Photo
The 15-year study reveals how PKS 1424+240's magnetic field accelerates protons to produce neutrinos, making it the brightest known neutrino-emitting blazar, researchers said.

Giant, cosmic 'Eye of Sauron' snapped staring directly at us in stunning 15-year time-lapse photo
Researchers have combined 15 years' worth of radio data to peer through the cone of a high-energy jet and unravel the magnetic mysteries of a "blazar" billions of light-years from Earth. The new findings also shed light on the origin of elusive "ghost particles."
A blazar located in the confines of the galaxy points directly to the Earth with the Eye of Sauron, but even more interesting, are the oddities it hides.
Astronomers Discover "Sauron's Eye" at the Universe's Edge, Emitting Ghost Particles into Space
Since the first observations of the deep universe, certain celestial phenomena have fascinated as much as they confuse. Among them, certain extreme objects redraw the contours of our cosmic understanding. This is precisely the case of the Blazar PKS 1424+240, whose striking appearance and energy power raise new questions about the forces involved in the observable universe. Supermassive black hole. This type of object is distinguished from quasa…
Since the first observations of the deep universe, some celestial phenomena fascinate as much as they confuse. Among them, some extreme objects re-design the contours of our cosmic understanding. This is precisely the case of the blazar PKS 1424+240, whose striking appearance and energy power raise new questions about the forces in play in the observable universe. When black holes draw familiar symbols It is neither an optical illusion nor a mar…
