Probably another thing we can't see.

Some Neutron Star burped out an X-ray burst or something like that

I won't hold my breathe but I hope it is interesting this time. Thanks H

A cosmic explosion seen 31 years ago may have been the birth cry of the youngest black hole ever observed, which could help researchers understand how black holes are born and evolve.

I'm confused. What was the big announcement originally mentioned? Was it JJJ's space.com link above, or was it those 2 huge structures above and below our Milky Way?

The main reason for its level announcement is 3 things;
The youngest,
closest discovered to our galaxy
and most important borderline Black Hole forming / Neutron star forming.

Anyone want to add
