Scientists see black hole shred a 'super sun' in one of the most powerful cosmic events
The event released a tremendous amount of energy, around 400 billion times that of the Sun, exceeding even the most powerful ...
Something in space is sending us brief, very bright blasts of blue light – and scientists might finally have a clue to what they are. The phenomenon, known as luminous fast blue optical transients or ...
The research team behind a new paper published Wednesday in Nature said the flashes in the luminous fast blue optical transient, or LFBOT, are just as powerful as the initial explosion, which has not ...
A distant dead star, nicknamed "Tasmanian devil," unexpectedly flared with intense light. These bright flashes are similar to rare events called Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transients (LFBOTs). The ...
