It also had the brightest UVOT afterglow ever recorded once corrected for extinction. [46] It had the largest amount of energy ever recorded in the TeV range, [47] and had the most energetic photons ever recorded for a GRB, peaking at 18 TeV. [25] [20] The burst was ten times brighter than any previous GRB detected by the Swift mission. [48]
It was first detected on June 14, 2015, located within a faint galaxy in the southern constellation Indus, and was the most luminous supernova-like object ever observed. [4] At its peak, ASASSN-15lh was 570 billion times brighter than the Sun, and 20 times brighter than the combined light emitted by the Milky Way Galaxy . [ 4 ]
List of brightest stars: Brightest star in a transient event Progenitor of SN 1006: 1006 m= −7.5 This was a supernova, and its remnant (SNR) is catalogued as PKS 1459-41 [NB 5] [NB 6] [NB 1] [29] Dimmest star from the Earth UDF 2457: m= 25 [NB 5] [NB 6] Most luminous star LGGS J004246.86+413336.4: 2022 L= 19,953,000 L Sun [30] List of most ...
The brightest gamma ray burst ever detected recently reached our planet. It’s 70 times longer than any other burst we’ve spotted, and effectively blinded our instruments when it hit ...

This view, taken with infrared light, is a false-color image of a quasar-starburst tandem with the most luminous starburst ever seen in such a combination. Quasars show evidence of elements heavier than helium , indicating that galaxies underwent a massive phase of star formation , creating population III stars between the time of the Big Bang ...
This is a list of the brightest natural objects in the sky. This list orders objects by apparent magnitude from Earth , not anywhere else . This list is with reference to naked eye viewing; all objects are listed by their visual magnitudes, and objects too close together to be distinguished are listed jointly.
Jupiter on Saturday will shine at its brightest for the year, as Earth’s orbit swings our planet between Jupiter and the sun. Weather permitting, the gas giant will not only be brighter than ...
