Cosmic Clash: Supermassive Black Hole Sparks Largest Explosion Ever Recorded

TL;DR Summary
Astronomers have discovered a supermassive black hole in the heart of an ancient galaxy that is causing stellar remnants and stars to collide, resulting in massive explosions visible across billions of light-years. The event, known as GRB 191019A, revealed a new pathway for stars to meet their demise and provided insights into how stars die and the creation of gravitational waves. This discovery highlights the importance of collaborative efforts between observatories to study gamma-ray bursts and uncover their true nature in even the most obscured environments.
