• Even Microquasars are Powerful Particle Accelerators

    Quasars are the actively feeding supermassive black holes at the hearts of galaxies and can contain millions or even billions of times the mass of the Sun. It's believed they're the source of some of the highest energy cosmic rays detected. But there are also microquasars, where a star and black hole orbit one another. Material from the star accretes around the black hole, and the magnetic fields form jets that can also hurl cosmic rays with similar energies.
