A Mysterious Cataclysmic Event 1000x More Powerful Than All The Stars in our Galaxy
The Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescopes captured a massive cataclysmic event from a faint, small galaxy about 10.7 billion light years from Earth. Although it originated from a galaxy smaller than ours, the energy released by the event was a thousand times more powerful than all the stars in the Milky Way. There are theories it was caused by a gamma ray burst, but what caused the massive size and intensity of the event remains a complete mystery.
