It seems that every time astronomers manage to understand a cosmic phenomenon, the universe responds with another enigma that is almost impossible to comprehend or answer. Such is the case we have here today<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

The ancient and reliable Hubble telescope<\/a> has detected a strange burst of light in a region of space where there seemed to be nothing that could cause an explosion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few years ago, astronomers officially described a new type of explosion in space<\/strong>: Fast Blue Optical Transients (FBOT for short), or simply FBOT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That name is quite descriptive of what they are: very bright flashes of light in the optical part of the spectrum<\/strong>, which tend to shine intensely in blue wavelengths before fading away within a matter of days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

? Hubble finds a bizarre explosion in an unexpected place ?

Called a Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transient, the phenomenon is among the brightest known visible-light events in the Universe.
