A gamma-ray burst, which lit up our galaxy last October, was the "brightest burst" ever seen and a once-in-10,000-year explosion, according to NASA.

The October 22 gamma ray burst was the brightest and the closest one astronomers have ever seen — and it was 2.4 billion light years away. According to NASA, that was a one in ten thousand year ...

The gamma-ray burst, named GRB 221009A, is thought to have caused huge variations in the electrical field of the Earth's ionosphere at a height of around 310 miles above the ground, according to a ...

To study the effects of last year’s gamma ray burst on Earth, Dr. Ubertini and his colleagues looked for signals at the top of the ionosphere using data from the China Seismo-Electromagnetic ...

The gamma-ray, dubbed the "brightest of all time," hit our solar system last fall. Scientists said it was approximately 70 times brighter than any other gamma-ray explosion.

For over a decade, a star system on the verge of unleashing a deadly gamma ray burst appeared to have its guns trained on Earth. The so-called "Death Star," which is also famed for looking like a ...

“However, after analyzing the data from CSES as well as ESA’s Integral space telescope, we changed our opinion. Now, we think it is possible that a gamma-ray burst can produce an effect in the ...

The gamma-ray burst dubbed "the BOAT," or the brightest of all time, has a unique jet structure that may explain its extreme nature and why its afterglow persisted for so long.

Or, alternatively, short gamma-ray bursts could emerge from unstable hypermassive neutron stars before they rapidly collapse to birth black holes, the team says.Using the model in this way will ...
