Description

A massive explosion of a black hole so powerful that it was later proven to be the most distant object ever recorded as seen by the naked eye. Seven and a half billion light years away, a star, unable to resist gravity, exploded and got sucked into a black hole. As astronomers continue studying black holes, every new piece of information helps them to understand the role black holes play in our universe.
