NASA Unveils Record-Breaking Cosmic Explosions and Black Hole Events
TL;DR
NASA and other space agencies have identified three rare, extremely energetic events where supermassive black holes have consumed massive stars, releasing more energy than 100 supernovae. These events, called 'extreme nuclear transients,' provide insights into otherwise inactive black holes and could help understand black hole growth and galaxy evolution, especially with upcoming telescopes like the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope.
