Astronomers observed a gamma-ray flare from a quasar — the ultra-bright core of a galaxy with a black hole inside. The light traveled for 7 billion years. Unexpectedly, it turned out to have originated not from the hole itself, but from the dust ring surrounding it. This helps us understand how blac
