Things to add
editCould add to article :
- How these are detected, which instruments or surveys, and why not before 2018.
- A table of notable FBOTs : Columns : Id/date, coordinates, estimated distance, estimated power, estimated energy

Hello, I am affiliated with NOIRLab and would like to propose the following change for community review.
- Proposed change: Add a multi-wavelength composite image of AT 2024wpp to the existing gallery at the bottom of the article.
- Image: File:Most luminous fast blue optical transient (noirlab2533a).tiff
- Suggested caption: Multi-wavelength composite (X-ray, ultraviolet,optical, and near-infrared) of AT 2024wpp, the most luminous fast blue optical transient observed to date, at the edge of its host galaxy 1.1 billion light-years from Earth.
- Placement: Gallery section (as a sixth image alongside the existing diagrams)
- Justification: The article's gallery currently contains only scientific diagrams and plots. It lacks any actual observational image of a specific FBOT event. AT 2024wpp is already listed in the article's table as the brightest FBOT at discovery (peak −21.9 mag), and this multi-wavelength composite — combining data from Gemini, Hubble, Swift, Chandra, and ALMA — would give readers a direct visual of what an FBOT observation looks like.
This fills a clear visual gap without duplicating existing content.

I welcome any feedback. Thank you. Marcodatadev (talk) 22:27, 30 March 2026 (UTC)
