Its eight billion light-years from Earth so it surely is something much bigger than a collision between planets. More likely that it is a new type of supernovae object of some kind.

Very interesting find.

They stated they don't know if it's something very distant or if it was even in our own Milky Way.

I wonder why we're just now hearing about these things. Strange that such amazing new discoveries are being made but yet we don't hear about them for several years after the fact. Just like the loud boom that was recently reported, that even happened a few years back.
