This black hole flare was 10 trillion times brighter than our Sun and 10 billion light years away and we’re just now seeing it.
In 2018 a distant supermassive black hole designated J2245+3743 suddenly flared up , not just a bit, but by a factor of ~40, becoming 30× more luminous than any previously recorded black-hole flare. Scientists believe it shredded a star at least 30× the Sun’s mass, and the light we see now left that region ~10 billion years ago.
If you converted our Sun’s entire mass into energy (E = mc²), you’d be in the ballpark of what this flare output while we observed it.
Unimaginable scale. Real event. And we’re looking back in time. 🌌 #Space #Universe
