The Biggest Explosion in Centuries

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime event. We have observed an object only 20km across, on the other side of our galaxy, releasing more energy in a 10th of a second than the Sun emits in 100,000 years," said Dr Fender.

I can't be the only person who's rather happy that this is a once in a lifetime (or many lifetimes event), or that it happened 50,000 light-years away.
