“ENTs are different beasts,” study lead author and astronomer Jason Hinkle explained in an accompanying statement. “Not only are ENTs far brighter than normal tidal disruption events, but they remain ...

These explosions, called extreme nuclear transients, shine for longer than typical supernovas and get 30 to 1,000 times as bright.

Scientists have discovered the most powerful blasts of energy in the known universe. Dubbed extreme nuclear transients, or ENTs, the cosmic explosions are unprecedented in their intensity.

Astronomers discover "extreme nuclear transients" (ENTs), cosmic explosions releasing energy equivalent to 100 suns.

According to the team, while supernovae – the explosions at the end of a massive star's life – emit around the same energy that the Sun will over its 10 billion year lifespan, ENTs radiate the ...

Stars are born, live and die in spectacular ways, with their deaths marked by one of the biggest known explosions in the universe. Like a campfire needs wood to keep burning, a star relies on ...

The study characterises high-energy transient as a rare jetted tidal disruption event. Astronomers have found a mysterious new cosmic explosion that has never been observed before. According to ...

Based on the new model, the first of these white dwarf explosions isn’t due for at least 10 1100 years. That’s a 1 followed by 1,100 zeros—a number so big that we don’t have a name for it.

Science: End to Explosion? 2 minute read. TIME. December 15, 1961 12:00 AM GMT-5. ... Colliding light beams may lose some of their energy, says Ward, as photons (particles of light) ...

Scientists from the University of Southampton are aiming to further our understanding of dark energy, the mysterious and unknown force that powers the accelerating expansion of our Universe. The new ...

Aside from being the most powerful known explosions in the universe, ENTs can help astronomers learn more about monster black holes in faraway galaxies. That's because the incredible brightness of ...
