MAGIC telescopes observe an extremely short, powerful outburst of radiation in Galaxy IC 310

The radio galaxy IC 310 in the Perseus constellation is approximately 260 million light years away from Earth. Astronomers assume there is a supermassive black hole at its centre. This black hole was the setting for an extremely powerful outburst of…
