00:00 Scientists just witnessed the biggest explosion in space ever, called AT 2021 LWX.
00:06 Yeah, that rolls off the tongue, doesn't it? It's been going on for over 3 years,
00:10 and is more than 10 times brighter than any known supernova. Crazy, right?
00:15 Apparently, a massive gas cloud got too close to a supermassive black hole and got sucked in,
00:21 causing shockwaves that rippled through its remnants. This all went down around 8 billion
00:26 years ago, when the universe was just 6 billion years old. The team of astronomers from the
00:31 University of Southampton are stoked to find more events like this with new facilities.
00:36 Yeah, you might say, "Hey, but there was a brighter explosion last year!" And you're right,
00:40 but that gamma ray burst only lasted for a fraction of the time that the current
00:45 explosion has been going on for. So overall, this guy has released more energy than any
00:50 other explosion recorded.
