The European Southern Observatory with the help of its Very Large Telescope (VLT) placed in the Atacama Desert in Chile observed a circularly polarized light coming from a stellar explosion taken place at the outer reaches of the universe.

Not only the observatory detected the polarized light, but it also managed to have exact polarimetric measurements of the stellar explosion, GRB121024A. The explosion is said to have taken place around 11,000 million years ago.

As per experts, stellar explosions have the maximum energy and intensity when compared with other events in the cosmos. These explosions take place at the outer reaches of the universe and are known as LGRBs (Long Gamma-Ray Bursts).

To cite an example, a single GRB is able to emit hundreds of stars like the sun during its 10,000 million year lifetime in just one second. Now, researchers are affirming that the circularly polarized light is the result of a recent black hole.

These LGRBs occurs as massive stars bursts. In comparison to other stars, these stars are considered to be massive and they do not explode like a normal star. As these stars implode, a huge spinning top is produced and would turn until a black hole is formed.

These stars are said to have great magnetic field. The magnetic field strengthens as they rotate rapidly and during the internal collapse of the star towards the central black hole, the magnetic fields also rotate around the star's rotation axis.

When finally the star is collapsed then a magnetic geyser is released from the black hole that is being formed. Researchers said effect of it could be felt at distances of billions of kilometres.
