Astronomers observed the largest and most distant flare from a supermassive black hole, originating 10 billion light-years away, shining with the brightness of 10 trillion suns, likely caused by a star being torn apart in a tidal disruption event, providing new insights into black hole and galaxy dynamics.

Scientists observed the largest and most distant black hole flare to date, occurring in a galaxy 10 billion light years away, where a black hole about 500 million times the mass of the sun consumed a star 30 times the sun's mass, resulting in a flare shining with the light of 10 trillion suns.

Astronomers have used the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) to observe the ultra-thin galaxy UGC 11859 and have discovered a significant gravitational distortion in its disk, including the presence of a warp and a flare. The observations also suggest the existence of a small satellite galaxy near UGC 11859. These findings provide valuable insights into the structure and properties of this isolated galaxy.

Astronomers have observed a supermassive black hole, named J221951, suddenly flare to life in a distant galaxy. This event, occurring 10 billion years ago, is one of the most dramatic instances of a black hole feeding on vast amounts of material. The flare's brightness suggests that the black hole transitioned from a quiescent state to an active galactic nucleus or experienced a tidal disruption event. Further observations will help determine the cause of this sudden feeding activity.
