That’s correct. ASAS-SN-15lh was first observed in June 2015 by the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN), which uses a network of telescopes around the world to search for new supernovae.

Hot air balloon named ASAS-SN-15lh

It is located in a distant galaxy about 3.8 billion light-years away from Earth. ASAS-SN-15lh is classified as a superluminous supernova, which means it is an extremely bright and powerful type of supernova explosion. It is believed to have been caused by the collapse of a massive star, which produced a highly energetic burst of radiation and particles.

The energy emitted by ASAS-SN-15lh is indeed incredible. According to some estimates, it released about 570 billion times the energy of the sun in just a few months. This makes it the brightest supernova ever observed, and one of the most energetic events in the universe.

The object at the center of ASAS-SN-15lh is still not well understood. Some scientists have suggested that it could be a newly formed black hole, while others think it might be a highly magnetized neutron star. Further observations and analysis will be needed to determine its true nature.

Even NASA does not know where it came from, but they claim that its scale is the largest ever.

This ball of gas cannot be seen with the naked eye, because it is about 3.8 billion light-years away from our earth. Scientists used the All Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae/ASAS-SN/ “assassin” system to see it. Under the direction of Ohio State University, they have used other types of small telescopes around the world to explore this object.

This could be a very rare millisecond magnetar, a type of fast-changing and extremely high-density star with a very strong magnetic field, said Todd Thompson, a professor of astronomy at Ohio State University

To be so bright, this electromagnetic planet must move 1000 times per second, then use 100% efficiency to convert that energy into light.

The Hubble Space Telescope later this year may provide us with some answers, allowing us to see galaxies mostly around this object. If it is located at the center of a massive star system, then it may not be a magnetic planet, but perhaps an unusual phenomenon around a cosmic black hole.
