Microquasar in Motion

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

Microquasars are binary star systems in our Milky Way, featuring a compact object like a black hole or neutron star orbiting a normal star. These systems blast out jets of particles at nearly the speed of light. Using a very long array of radio telescopes, astronomers have tracked the motion of microquasar LSI +61 303. This observation helps us understand these energetic phenomena and their role in galactic dynamics.
