Record-breaking black hole eruption is brighter than 10 trillion suns


Recommended Posts

A supermassive black hole appears to have generated a record flare after gobbling a star at least 30 times more massive than the sun.

The event has yet to be confirmed as a tidal disruption event (TDE), which happens when a black hole devours a star (or similar object) that strays too close to the black hole's gravity. But if verified, this TDE — called J2245+3743 — would be the most powerful and distant energy flare ever recorded from a supermassive black hole.
