Scientists observed a black hole flare that 'shined with the light of 10 trillion suns'
SMRTR summary
Scientists recorded the largest and most distant black hole flare ever observed, located 10 billion light years away from a black hole 500 million times more massive than our sun. The flare likely occurred when the black hole's gravity pulled in and consumed a nearby star 30 times our sun's mass through a tidal disruption event. At its peak brightness, the flare shined with the intensity of 10 trillion suns, creating an unprecedented astronomical phenomenon.
