“ENTs are different beasts,” study lead author and astronomer Jason Hinkle explained in an accompanying statement. “Not only ...

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 ...

"Not only are ENTs far brighter than normal tidal disruption events, but they remain luminous for years, far surpassing the energy output of even the brightest known supernova explosions," Hinkle ...

Extreme nuclear transients are 10 million times rarer than supernovae and emit the same amount of energy as 100 Suns.

Scientists have recently observed the most intense explosion ever recorded in the universe, a phenomenon that has both ...

Even before the BOAT was spotted, GRBs were already considered the most powerful, violent, and energetic explosions in the universe, capable of blasting out as much energy in a matter of seconds ...

At such a distance, its energy, which has been traveling ... of a large star that dies in a supernova explosion," notes NASA. Want more science and tech news delivered straight to your inbox?

"Not only is understanding dark energy a challenge, but these new explosion types suggest that the tools that we use for its study may also be poorly understood. Research such as this continues our ...

But last week in the British journal Nature, Physicist Alastair Ward of Glasgow’s Royal College of Science and Technology suggested a possible way to squelch the big explosion and bring the ...

Astronomers have discovered a new class of bright, long-lasting cosmic explosions that offer a new probe into studying the ...
