A colossal cosmic explosion, dubbed
A colossal cosmic explosion, dubbed AT2021lwx, reigns supreme as the brightest ever witnessed, according to new findings published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. Surpassing supernovae and tidal disruption events in both brightness and duration, this enigmatic phenomenon challenges current models of explosions and demands further investigation to unlock its secrets.
AT2021lwx was first detected in 2020 by the Zwicky Transient Facility in California, and subsequently picked up by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) based in Hawaii. These facilities survey the night sky to detect transient objects that rapidly change in brightness indicating cosmic events such as supernovae, as well as finding asteroids and comets. Until now the scale of the explosion has been unknown.
