The supermassive black hole at the heart of Messier 87 (M87), known for hosting a colossal relativistic jet, has produced a rare gamma-ray flare. This event marks the first high-energy gamma-ray outburst from M87 in over a decade, offering researchers an unprecedented opportunity to study the extreme conditions near a black hole's event horizon.
