Biggest explosion ever in the universe

Biggest explosion ever in the universe

We are all aware of momentary eruptions, but an eruption can continue for three years in a row. It sounds incredible, but in reality it is happening continuously and is still continuing. This eruption is considered extremely rare, which is the largest eruption ever. Scientists from the University of Southampton in Europe have seen this explosion. This explosion has been named AT 2021LWX.

Ten times larger than a normal supernova

The stars in space keep on exploding. Supernovae are believed to be the largest explosions that occur at the end of a star’s life. But this explosion is ten times bigger than a normal supernova. Such a big explosion was beyond the imagination of scientists. Due to which this increased incident has been seen as astonishing. The reason for such an increased explosion is believed to be the involvement of a large cloud of gas with the black hole.

Eight billion light-years away Vulpecula the Fox

The Royal Astronomical Society has disclosed this discovery. The eruption site is 8 billion light-years away from Earth in the direction of the constellation Vulpecula the Fox. In this search, scientists had to take support of many research centers and big telescopes of the worldThese include the Zwicky Transient Facility in California, the Asteroid Terrestrial-Impact Final Alert System (ATLAS) in Hawaii, the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, the New Technology Telescope in Chile, and the Gran Telescopio Canarias in La Palma, Spain.

This explosion has increased about 100 times from the solar system

Research scientist Wiseman said that this physical explosion is about 100 times bigger than our solar system and about 2 trillion times brighter than our sun. The eruption is still going on. This will help in understanding the big explosions in the universe. By collecting data of this event, the temperature of the eruption and the activity happening on the surface will be understood. He says that with new facilities like the Vera Rubin Observatory’s Legacy Survey of Space and Time in the next few years, we expect to discover more enhanced events like these and learn more about them. In fact these occurrences are extremely rare. With this, information about changes in the center of galaxies can be gathered.

This explosion is very rare

Astronomer Dr. Shashibhushan Pandey says that it is actually a very rare explosion. The world of stars looks very strange and sometimes surprising. It is a good thing that studies are going on in the universe day by day and for the last few years there has been a rise in new information. Now it is believed that very soon we will be able to know and understand a lot about the universe.
