The oddly named black hole is firing out energy beams up to 100 trillion times more powerful than the fictional massive space station and super weapon.

Officials said geomagnetic activity is likely to increase with the arrival of an Earth-directed coronal mass ejection.

Scientists say the best explanation for the longest gamma ray burst is that a black hole consumed a star, but they disagree on exactly how it happened.

NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured images of the event on the Sun.
