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

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

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