Astronomers Discover Largest Explosions Since the Big Bang

The Gaia space telescope has unexpectedly captured a previously unknown type of enormous cosmic explosion—arguably the biggest bursts since the Big Bang itself. Gigantic Flares from Distant Galaxies Originating from distant galactic cores, Gaia detected sudden and intense surges in brightness—massive light flares that lasted far longer than any previously documented. These explosions release energy
