Astronomers using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory have identified the mechanism driving repeated outbursts from a colossal, unstable star in the spiral galaxy NGC 4559, roughly 30 million light-years from Earth. The star, designated AT 2016blu, possesses a mass at least 33 times that of the Sun. The discovery corresponds with an image released on November 9, 2026, offering new insight into the volatile behavior of massive stellar objects.
