Well we found it....most impressive fart in the universe.
Seriously though that's awesome. Real life death star right there
Quite a bigger bang than an m80.
They must be named on a logarithmic scale.
log(log(log(log(log(log))))) scale.
That's awesome! Do your have more info on this?
It’s basically a giant particle beam made by the supermassive black hole at the center of the M87 galaxy.
