Unprecedented Universe Explosion Observed by Astronomers.

An international team of astronomers led by the University of Southampton has confirmed the most powerful cosmic explosion ever observed, AT2021lwx, which took place about 8 billion light-years away in the constellation Vulpecula. It was over ten times brighter than any supernova ever observed and 100 times brighter than all the stars in the Milky Way combined. The team believes the most likely explanation is that a supermassive black hole violently disrupted an extremely large cloud of gas or dust. The team hopes to collect more data on the explosion and run updated computer simulations to test their theory about what caused it.
