gamma ray observatory Integral has observed ESA extremely hot area just a millisecond before it crashed into the oblivion of a black hole. But is really doomed to disaster? These observations suggest that only part of the art could be doing a great getaway.
Usually, the particles only takes a millisecond to cross the final distance but there might be hope for a small fraction of them.
Thanks to new observations of Integral, astronomers now know in the chaotic region up to a few hundred kilometers of the deadly black hole's surface with a network of magnetic fields.
is the first time that magnetic fields have been identified as close to a black hole. And most importantly, Integral shows that highly structured magnetic fields are forming an escape tunnel for some of the particles.
