Microquasars are stellar-mass black holes in our own Galaxy that mimic, on a smaller scale, the remarkable relativistic phenomena observed in remote quasars. Their discovery opens new perspectives for understanding the connection between the flow of matter into black holes and the genesis of relativistic jets
