Something mysterious is happening out there — and it’s heading our way. Scientists have spotted strange space explosions getting closer to Earth, and no one’s exactly sure what’s causing them. These bursts are powerful enough to be detected across galaxies, yet they appear without warning and vanish just as fast. Could it be collapsing stars, merging black holes… or something we’ve never seen before? This video breaks it all down in a way that’s easy to follow but seriously mind-blowing. Buckle up — space is sending us signals, and you’re going to want to know what they mean.
