"The Scorching Secrets of the Universe's Hottest Spot Revealed"

The hottest place in the universe is likely near a supermassive black hole that is actively accreting gas and producing relativistic jets. The quasar 3C273, located around 2.4 billion light-years away, is currently the hottest known region with a core temperature of about 10 trillion kelvin. However, the precise temperatures of black holes are difficult to measure, and there is still uncertainty surrounding temperature estimations. Cataclysmic events such as collisions between celestial bodies can also generate extremely high temperatures, but these events are often fleeting. Scientists rely on measuring the energy emitted by supermassive black holes to estimate temperature, and future observatories may provide more accurate measurements.
