Sent i 2019 begyndte den hidtil ganske uanseelige galakse SDSS1335+0728 pludselig at skinne klarere end tidligere. For at kunne forstå hvorfor, har en gruppe astronomer brugt data fra flere forskellige observatorier på Jorden og i rummet for at følge hvordan galaksens lysstyrke er varieret. Der er blandt andet tale om data fra European Southern Observatorys Very Large Telescope (ESOs VLT) i Chile. I den artikel, som offentliggøres idag, konkluderer forskerne, at vi ser nogle ændringer, som aldrig før er set i en galakse - og det er sandsynligvis resultatet af, at det tunge sorte hul i centrum pludselig er vågnet op.
