Researchers have captured the largest-ever explosion in space and it is unlike anything witnessed before. What's astonishing is that the blast has raged on for over three years now and is 10 times brighter than any known supernova, an explosion that occurs when stars die. The explosive event, named AT2021lwx, was caused due to a supermassive black hole devouring a huge gas cloud.
