Researchers have now made the first definitive detections of gamma rays from Cygnus X-3, shown here in a portrait taken a decade ago by the Chandra X-ray Observatory (The sharp horizontal line is an artifact). Detecting gamma rays from the microquasar hints at how it accelerates particles to high energies and throws off radio-emitting blobs of material at nearly the speed of light. Credit: NASA, SRON, MPE
