Astronomers generally assume that active galaxies may shift and flicker, since their central supermassive black holes tend to feed in uneven and sometimes chaotic forms. Even with all that activity, ...

The flare has been going on for seven years as a supermassive black hole consumes a massive star that ventured too close.
