They stumbled upon a second, way bigger radio relic that’s like, totally different from the first one they knew about in the same cluster. The Wonders of Synchrotron Radiation Radio relics are like stretchy, glowy radio sources born from synchrotron vibes. In simple words, the radiation is produced by charged particles as they undergo acceleration or change direction. This acceleration results in the emission of electromagnetic radiation, including…
