LHAASO has uncovered that micro-quasars, black holes feeding on companion stars, are powerful PeV particle accelerators.

Historically, particle accelerators have been massive structures, often spanning kilometers underground. The Large Hadron Collider at CERN, for example, stretches 17 miles (27 km) and is one of the ...
