A groundbreaking discovery has emerged from a recent study led by astronomers from Tsinghua University in Beijing. The research, published on June 11, reveals an intriguing cosmic phenomenon known as ...

This phenomenon, detailed in Astronomy & Astrophysics, suggests the black hole started feasting on surrounding gas, transforming the galaxy into one with an active galactic nucleus (AGN).

Astronomers immediately suspected either a tidal disruption event, where a star gets torn apart by a black hole’s gravity, or the first signs of an active galactic nucleus (AGN) waking up.
