There's a reasonable chance this is the brightest gamma-ray burst to hit Earth since human civilization began.' An extragalactic outburst whose light hurtled through the inner solar system last ...

On Oct. 9, 2022, the orbiting Swift and Fermi gamma-ray detectors observed the brightest gamma-ray burst (GRB) ever seen: GRB 221009A. Astronomers around the world quickly responded by turning as ...

In a breathless press release, NASA emphasized that their detectors all over the planet picked up on this, including NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory ...

Findings from NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, and others identified the source of the burst designated GRB 221009A as coming from a spot in the ...

Scientists are taking a closer look at the afterglow left by the brightest gamma-ray burst ever recorded, and what they see doesn't fit with any theoretical models. When you purchase through links ...

In 2022, astronomers discovered the brightest gamma-ray burst (GRB) of all time. Now, astronomers confirm that a 'normal' supernova, the telltale sign of a stellar collapse, accompanied the GRB.

Behold! The most powerful explosions in the known universe — gamma-ray bursts. Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the most powerful and violent explosions in the known universe. These brief flashes of ...

Before this research, scientists didn't recognize that some nearby gamma-ray bursts are also part of this massive structure. The finding is extraordinary because the Hercules-Corona Borealis Great ...

It strictly holds in all experiments done to date. Now, a group from China has looked at the most powerful gamma ray burst ever seen and found that the photons it emitted at the same time arrived ...

While the gamma ray laser (also known as a “graser”) is still conceptual, it’s considered one of the most important problems in physics. Invisible to our eyes, gamma rays burst from ...

"The gamma-ray burst traveled through intergalactic space at the speed of light for eleven billion years, during which time the Sun and the planets were born." — Timothy Ferris, in the film ...
