These flashes, thought to result from the especially spectacular deaths of massive stars, are the brightest events in the cosmos during their brief (only seconds-long) existence. This could actually be Lady Gaga's epitaph, if one were necessary.

This thing realy has astronomical theorists freaking out. They are losing sleep over it. It is so huge and powerful that it defies the imagination. It should not even exist.
Its event horizon is big enough to contain millions of our suns.It also means that black holes may occur instantly, they do not need a lot of time to develop.
