"Scientists Detect Unprecedented Explosion in Nearby Galaxy, Radiating Energy of 100 Billion Suns"

Astronomers have observed a rare and strange cosmic explosion known as a luminous fast blue optical transient (LFBOT) for the first time. This specific LFBOT, named Tasmanian Devil, occurred in a nearby galaxy and has been repeatedly flaring with the "strength of 100 billion Suns." LFBOTs shine brightly in blue light, reaching peak brightness and fading within days, unlike supernovas. The underlying process behind these occurrences is still unknown, and the discovery of the Tasmanian Devil LFBOT has raised more questions for scientists. The findings were published in the journal Nature, and researchers used 15 telescopes around the globe to uncover the flaring.
