High resolution observations in the radio regime of the electromagnetic spectrum provide a powerful tool to identify some of the most mysterious objects in our Galaxy. Among these are gamma-ray sources that emit a significant fraction of their energy in the TeV (teraelectronvolts, 1012 eV) energy range, but have no optical counterparts. Radio astronomers in Hungary, Argentina and the Netherlands have unveiled some of the secrets of a new TeV source using the European VLBI Network (EVN) and archival data from the Very Large Array (VLA).
