Scientists have been alarmed by a strange explosion in space that occurred eight billion light-years from Earth. Data leads Life.

The explosion occurred in the constellation Chanterelles back in 2020, but it became known about it only now. Specialists were alarmed by the nature of the phenomenon – they do not understand how an object codenamed AT2021lwx can “blaze” for so long. Even more powerful explosions occur in space (for example, during the collision and merger of black holes), but they are instantaneous – all the energy is released in a fraction of a second, and here we are talking about several years.
Astrophysicists are convinced that this is not a star, but an object of a completely unimaginable mass – according to preliminary estimates, this is at least 100 million Suns. And all these years it absorbs gigantic masses of matter. Presumably, we are talking about a dormant black hole that has found “prey” in the form of a cloud of matter and has been actively “devouring” it for the third year already.
Earlier it was reported that the core of the Earth has practically ceased to rotate.
