摘要
he brightest object in the universe-at least,the brightest we've seen yetshines 500 trillion timesbrighter than the sun,and it eats a sun a day.Objects like these are rare,and despite their objective brightness,remain elusive and hard to spot.This record-breaker was first spotted in 198o and mischaracterized as a regular old star.
宇宙里最明亮的物体——至少是我们至今见过最明亮的——亮度比太阳高出500万亿倍,而且一天会吞噬一颗太阳。像这样的物体相当罕见,尽管其客观亮度如此之高,却还是难以捉摸又不易发现。这个破记录的物体首度被发现于1980年,并且被错误地描述为一颗普通的老恒星。
