An impression of the giant molecular clouds (orange) surrounding the Galactic Centre (blue-white). The clouds are bombarded by very high energy protons accelerated in the vicinity of the central black hole,and subsequently they emit gamma rays. The gamma rays have exceptionally high energies in the Peta-Electronvolt (PeV) range,the first time such high-energy photons have been detected from the Milky Way | |
