Explosions Discovered Near Galactic Center

NASA APOD

COSMIC MESSAGE

Tremendous explosions near the center of our Galaxy were discovered in December and announced today. These bursts are unprecedented, so their exact cause is unknown and will likely spur future astronomical speculation and observation. Far more powerful than any human-made explosions, these eruptions likely involve extreme conditions found only on the surface of a neutron star.
