As per news report of NDTV,Astronomers from the University of Hawai'i's Institute for Astronomy have identified a new class of cosmic explosions, termed "extreme nuclear transients" (ENTs), marking the most energetic events observed since the Big Bang. These phenomena occur when massive stars, at least three times the mass of our Sun, are torn apart by supermassive black holes at the centres of distant galaxies. The resulting explosions release energy equivalent to what 100 Suns would emit over their entire lifespans, making them visible across vast cosmic distances. This discovery offers new insights into the dynamic interactions between stars and black holes in the universe.
