The “Tasmanian Devil” falls into a strange category of astronomical phenomena, and even within that, this eruption is extremely rare.
There, that means passing The boundaries of our world, there are more questions than answers. This does not mean that science has not progressed, on the contrary: many of these questions cannot even be looked at, which allows us to frame them without scientific progress. So, far from observing a phenomenon in space, researchers go to the bottom of it and try to understand its origin, nature and possible consequences. This is how we come to the topic “Tasmanian Devil”A exploded It has little to do with what is known.
The event we are talking about is a Cosmic disaster This has puzzled scientists because it calls into question the understanding of its energy output How the laws of physics are supposed to work.
It is a case of an eruption which, because of its intensity, got its name Australia’s largest carnivorous marsupial. Much of this is due to limitations CNN“Possibly one of the strangest and rarest cosmic events ever observed.”
What is the Tasmanian Devil outbreak?
The discovery of this phenomenon is earlier September 2022, in their observations, a team of astronomers witnessed the explosion of a star. That, while spectacular, is not unusual. The apparently strange thing is that they found out Energetic signs of separation of life from “corpse”.. As if that were not enough, many revelations occurred even after death.

If that crossed your mind, let’s go ahead and say that scientists at the time, because of the nature of the event, This is not an example of a supernova.. Instead, it became known as a strange eruption Luminescent Fast Blue Optical Transient (LFBOT).
What else do we know?
Following the discovery of this explosion, a new study, recently published in the journal NatureProvides evidence of a job International Association of Astronomers. They analyzed and created images of the “Tasmanian Devil”. 15 telescopes from around the worldThey were able to see that this phenomenon had rarer behavior than previously thought.

As it happens, a being Star CorpseThis is Continues to show signs of life. It still doesn’t have an answer, but it does shed some light on the different ways a star can die.
“This discovery teaches us more about the different ways stars end their lives and about the exotic species that inhabit our universe,” said Vic Dillon, a professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Sheffield in the UK. United, in a statement CNN.
