Resurrected Dead Star Unleashes Unprecedented Cosmic Flares

TL;DR Summary
Scientists at Cornell University have made a remarkable discovery by detecting intermittent flashes of blue light from a deceased star, known as the Tasmanian Devil, located a billion light-years away. The star had previously emitted a luminous fast blue optical transient (LFBOT) before fading, but the recent observations show that it is still radiating powerful flares similar to its original cataclysmic event. This unprecedented finding offers valuable insights into the mysterious world of star births and deaths, challenging previous assumptions about the behavior of dead stars.
