News24xx.com - Recently the United States Space Agency (NASA) discovered a galaxy with the brightest label ever found. It is not about the discovery that has the attraction, but the nature of this galaxy that is different from the others that have been found so far. The collection of stars turned out to be cannibals. It preyed on at least three of its neighboring smaller-sized galaxies. This is what makes it very bright.

The galaxy in question is called WISE J224607.55-052634.9. It might sound hard to remember. Therefore, to make it shorter, researchers call it W2246-0526. When compared with the Sun, W2246-0526 is still much brighter. The comparison can be up to 350 trillion times in brightness. In addition, it is the largest known collection of stars. In addition, there is a black hole that is about four billion times the size of the Sun.

As stated on the official website, NASA explained that W2246-0526 requires large energy to produce light. Just for info, the light is not only from stars, but also gas and dust. The good news is that this galaxy full of hunger is quite far from Earth. It will take about 12.4 billion years to reach us.
