Scientists detect biggest black hole flare ever seen — with the power of 10 trillion suns Open in Space.com
Highlights
  • The flare, arising from a tidal disruption event, produced luminosities far exceeding prior AGN flares and marked an extreme black hole outburst.
  • Keck Observatory reassessment showed the flare was farther away than first thought, implying a much higher intrinsic luminosity and energy output.
  • Zwicky Transient Facility helped discover the flare, enabling thorough multi-wavelength follow-up of the distant black hole event.
