The object is believed be have a solid core just 10 miles long, but is emitting more light than the laws of physics ever said possible.

Those studying the huge object at Ohio State University have been searching for answers as to what the mystery light could be.

One explanation could be the incredible light source is thought to be a massive ball of gas, emitting more energy than 100 billion of our suns and outshining our own Milky Way galaxy 50 times over.

The giant gas ball, named ASSASSN-15lh, is currently over three billion light years away and cannot be seen with the naked eye.

But astronomers at Ohio University have been using a series of specialised telescopes to detect light radiation from the object.

In their weekly 'Science' journal , professors at the American university claim the 10 mile long object at the centre of the light could be a rare star called a magnetar.

A magnetar is so powerful that it actually breaks the laws of physics, which state there is a limit to how much energy an object can emit.

Professor Krzysztof Stanek said: "We have to ask, how is that even possible? It takes a lot of energy to shine that bright, and .....
