Scientists record universe's most powerful explosions since the Big Bang
TL;DR Summary
Scientists have discovered the most intense cosmic explosions, called extreme nuclear transients (ENTs), which are significantly brighter and longer-lasting than typical supernovae, occurring when massive stars are torn apart by supermassive black holes. These events, observed via the Gaia telescope, offer new insights into black hole growth and the universe's history, and future telescopes are expected to find more of them.
