Astronomers have discovered the biggest explosion ever seen in the universe since the Big Bang. The explosion was created by a black hole and is five times more powerful than the previous record. Astronomers discovered it using the X-ray data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and ESA’s XMM-Newton. The huge release of energy originated from a supermassive black hole some 390 million light-years from Earth. The outburst is said to have left a giant hole in the Ophiuchus galaxy cluster. Astronomers are excited over the discovery of this extraordinary source and hope to get more data to answer the many remaining questions this object poses.
