Can anyone with some expertise comment on this because this reads like a 16 year old trying to write galactic poetry.
“The galaxy’s core, quiescent for more than two decades, suddenly brightened by orders of magnitude.”
Maybe I’m dumb, I’ll be happy of that’s it.

Am an astrophysicist. TLDR, the SMBH at the centre of this galaxy got a lot brighter four years ago and it has stayed brighter longer than other times this has happened like during tidal disruption events. Could be the beginning of the active galactic nucleus phase but too dim to be like quasars. The galaxy didn’t “turn on”, but its supermassive black hole might have “turned on”.
