The incredibly powerful event, which released 50 times more energy than all the stars in the observable universe

The scale of space is so dummy-ass to my monkey brain. It just loses all meaning and becomes Dragon Ball Z power levels when I have to imagine something larger/more powerful than our sun.

edit: Also, like the Jupiter-Levy 9 impact it's wild that we were around and technologically capable of capturing such a unique event.
