In 2018, a galaxy about 270 million light-years away from Earth exhibited a major increase in activity. It quieted down again by 2020 -- only to dramatically increase its output again in 2023.

Researchers from the University of Arizona and Max Planck Institute for Astronomy, Germany have now created the sharpest ...
