Scientists spot the brightest flare yet from a supermassive black hole Scientists have spotted the brightest flare yet from a black hole. It was first spotted in 2018 by a camera at the Palomar Observatory in California.

Scientists have spotted the brightest flare yet from a black hole. The cosmic outburst likely happened because a large star wandered too close to the black hole and got shredded to pieces.
