Don’t Look Up! Strange Bright Flash Spotted by Astronomers Was Black Hole Jet Pointed at Earth
In a study published in Nature Astronomy on Wednesday, a group of astronomers revealed that a mysterious bright flash observed earlier this year in several telescopes across the planet most likely came from the business end of an ultra-massive black hole called a blazar.
The sudden bright light was first observed in data from the Palomar Observatory in California, having appeared in a part of the sky where no such light had been observed before. The estimated power of the light was unimaginable, at more than 1 quadrillion times the brightness of our sun.
