"It's a little jet, then it takes off," said solar physicist Scott McIntosh of the National Center for Atmospheric Research's High Altitude Observatory.

“它是一束小喷流，随后就逸散了。”美国国家大气研究中心高海拔观测站的太阳物理学家Scott McIntosh如是说。

What makes this result so unequivocal is that another team of planet hunters at the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts and the High Altitude Observatory in Boulder, Colorado, have independently verified it by analysing four years of their own observations.

The High-Altitude Water Cherenkov Observatory or Hawc, high on a Mexican plain, now holds the record for the highest-energy light it can capture.

Mr Mawet and his team, meanwhile, are trying to fabricate prototypes of their design to test on the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope in Chile, which is at a higher altitude, and thus less prone to wobbling air.
