Scientists observe universe's largest explosions since the Big Bang
Scientists have discovered the most energetic cosmic explosions since the Big Bang, called Extreme Nuclear Transients (ENTs), which are caused by massive stars being torn apart by supermassive black holes and emit over 25 times more energy than typical supernovae. These rare events provide new insights into black hole growth and galaxy evolution, and future observatories like the Vera C Rubin Observatory will help detect more of these extraordinary phenomena.
