The event, nicknamed Tasmanian devil, is puzzling scientists who don't know what is causing it. Ho and colleagues' observations suggest the Tasmanian devil released at least 14 irregular and highly energetic bursts, each lasting only a few minutes. This leaves a neutron star or a black hole surrounded by the remnants of a partial star. To produce such brilliant flares, a black hole or neutron star would need a lot of fuel. AdvertisementAnother possibility is that the Tasmanian devil was caused by a star merging with a black hole or a neutron star, said Ho.

Scientists had previously thought Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transients were caused by dying stars. AdvertisementAdvertisementA bright flash of blue light appearing in the middle of seemingly empty space has scientists confused. Scientists previously thought they knew what could cause such a bright burst of energy. That's much too far for a core-collapse supernova to travel. There are a few more hypotheses for what could cause the bright blue flashes.
