The jet outshone the light from the entire Milky Way galaxy by a factor of more than a thousand.
An extremely high-energy jet of matter shot out of a supermassive black hole billions of light-years away is pointed at Earth, astronomers have found.An international team of researchers have revealed the likely source of an incredibly bright flash resulting from a cosmic explosion that occurred in a distant corner of the universe.
The study suggests that the jet was produced when this distant black hole began devouring a nearby star that had strayed too close. As the black hole fed on the material of the star, it ejected a stream of particles traveling at close to the speed of light in the form of a jet, which appears to be pointed directly at our planet.
Prior to AT 2022cmc, scientists had only detected three other Doppler-boosted TDEs, making the latest event a particularly rare find.
