“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 ...

Astronomers have identified a new kind of cosmic explosion extreme nuclear transients so powerful they outshine typical ...

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.

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 ...

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

When stars die out, they emit gamma-ray bursts. Although scientist can calculate the explosion energy from dying stars, it is difficult to do when the conversion efficiency is low or unknown.

Astronomers noticed the event, AT2021lwx, in June 2020. Though its brightness has peaked, the explosion is still happening.

A powerful explosion in space was detected on Oct. 19 by astronomers at NASA's Swift Observatory, which detects gamma-ray bursts likely caused by supernova events in the cosmos.

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) ...

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 ...

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 ...

The release of magnetic energy could cause the matter in the explosion to be distributed more spherically. In that case, the birth of the black hole may be very energetic." Time is the only remedy ...
