These explosions, called extreme nuclear transients, shine for longer than typical supernovas and get 30 to 1,000 times as bright.

When people think of black holes, they imagine something dramatic: a star exploding in space, collapsing in on itself, and forming a cosmic monster that eats everything around it.

After decades of efforts, astronomers have found evidence suggesting a supermassive black hole in the middle of a nearby galaxy called Messier 83, or M83. Earlier, there were hints that there ...

A star exploding in a supernovae or being ejected from a tight cluster of stars are a couple ways. Close encounters with a black hole are another.
