This was the first instance of a gravitational wave event that was observed to have a simultaneous electromagnetic signal, thereby marking a significant breakthrough for multi-messenger astronomy. [34] Non-observation of neutrinos is attributed to the jets being strongly off-axis. [35]
Earth-based and orbiting telescopes were used to track the events unfolding at the core of a galaxy called SDSS1335+0728, located roughly 360 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Virgo.
