The video discusses a pioneering study on celestial black holes, focusing on Cygnus X1. Due to limitations of local telescopes, the team uses large telescopes in Spain and the Netherlands. They study the radiation jets from Cygnus X1, finding energy levels much higher than expected. Complex calculations reveal emissions 100,000 times greater than the sun's. This work raises new questions about black holes.
