On April 8, 2024, astronomers were greeted with a fascinating cosmic event designated EP240408a, first detected by the Einstein Probe, an advanced X-ray space telescope. This celestial phenomenon drew considerable attention because it did not conform to any previously cataloged types of cosmic explosions. Such explosions typically manifest in well-defined patterns, producing specific wavelengths that
