Dramatic burst of light in the cosmos spotted from California
A supermassive black hole produced the brightest recorded flare, emitting light equal to ten trillion suns due to a tidal disruption of a massive star.
Scientists watch flare with 10 trillion suns' light from massive black hole
A supermassive black hole 11 billion light-years away produced the most energetic observed flare, likely from a 30–200-solar-mass star being tidally shredded.
Scientists baffled by black hole growing at 2.4x the theoretical limit
Supermassive black hole RACS J0320-35, about a billion solar masses and 12.8 billion light-years away, is accreting at 2.4 times the theoretical limit.
