- Astronomers have recently found that accretion burst happens at different rates over time in our galaxy.
- Accretion is the formation of planets and other bodies by the collection of material through gravity.
- Sometimes the forming star swallows up a huge amount of matter, resulting in a burst of activities in the massive star. This is called an accretion burst event.
- The first observation of accretion burst event was in 2016.
- Maser Monitoring Organisation, established in 2017, observes this event using radio telescopes.
