Highlights
  • A supermassive black hole flare at roughly 10 billion light-years distance delivered the brightest known outburst, illuminating the distant universe with the energy of about 10 trillion suns.
  • It likely happened because a large star wandered too close to the black hole and got shredded to pieces.
  • The flare came from a supermassive black hole that’s 10 billion light years away, making the flash the most distant one observed so far.
