    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on the observation of an intense cosmic event, possibly the largest explosion ever witnessed, where a black hole is devouring a massive cloud of gas. Topics include the ongoing three-year explosion that defies typical supernova behavior, the unusual brightness suggesting a black hole consuming a significant mass, and the search for similar events to further understand this extraordinary phenomenon.
